Our Policy
The pursuit of excellence requires a transparent and honest approach. At BITS Pilani, we have always believed this to be true and are one of the few top institutes in India to favour a ‘Merit Only’ based admission policy.
To ensure complete transparency in student intake in the undergraduate courses we have instituted BITSAT, a fully online exam. BITSAT tests students on their aptitude for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. BITSAT also has a section on English and Logical reasoning, thus becoming a complete analysis of a candidate’s intelligence and capability.
Director’s Message:
The youngest of the four physical campuses of BITS Pilani, the Hyderabad campus began functioning on 29th August 2008.
Fully residential, with over 5500 students, and 500 faculty and staff members, the picturesque campus is housed in 200 acres of rugged, rocky terrain characteristic of the region. It is equipped with state of the art infrastructure required for instruction, research, and extra-curricular activities.

The faculty members are deeply committed also to growing our ability to pursue path breaking research, fundamental and applied, so necessary to sustain and grow such an environment. We are equally committed to sustaining and growing our engagement with industry.
The second phase of development having been completed, we now have the best infrastructure, in terms of buildings and laboratories to support academic and extra-curricular activities of students at par with any premier engineering and science institutes in India. Together with faculty members of outstanding quality that we have, and will continue to recruit and retain, we are confident that we are fully prepared to provide highest quality student experience, and deliver student outcomes that are second to none.
