BITSAT or Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test is an all-India level entrance examination conducted every year for engineering aspirants in India. The conducting body of the BITSAT examination is BITS Pilani. Admission to various B.Tech degree courses at any of the three campuses (Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad) of BITS will be offered through the BITSAT 2025 exam. In this process, the two most important factors that determine the admission of the candidates in various available courses are the BITSAT cutoff and vacancies.

Apart from this, there are several other factors that can cause the BITSAT cutoff to fluctuate from year to year. In this article, we provide a detailed explanation of the BITSAT 2023 cutoff for various courses offered at BITS. This will help candidates to plan accordingly for the BITSAT 2025 cutoff.

What is BITSAT 2023 Cutoff?

Students wishing to take admission in B.Tech courses in various branches and campuses are required to fulfil the minimum marks criteria. These minimum marks, called the BITSAT cutoff, are decided by the exam authority. BITSAT 2023 cutoff was prepared based on certain criteria, such as:

  • Number of students who appeared in the exam
  • Total number of vacancies
  • Previous year cutoff trends
  • Difficulty level of the question paper

Factors Affecting BITSAT 2023 Cutoff

Here, we have mentioned the factors affecting the BITSAT 2023 cutoff in the tabular format below: 

Parameters

Analysis

Number of Applicants

As the number of applicants for the respective BITSAT exam increases, the BITSAT cutoff will also increase.

Difficulty level of BITSAT Questions

If the level of questions asked in the exam is between easy to moderate, the BITSAT cutoff will increase and vice versa.

Number of Seats

Fewer seats in any programme may increase the cutoff for that particular programme.

Previous Year Trends

Based on the previous year cutoff trends, BITSAT 2023 cutoff was prepared.

Demand of Program/Campus

If more students seek a particular course at a particular campus, such as CSE at BITS Pilani, the BITSAT cutoff is likely to be higher.

Counselling Rounds

The BITSAT cutoff range gradually decreases with each round of BITSAT counselling.
