Toppers from all the boards are guaranteed direct admission to the program of their choice by BITS, Pilani.
All the others have to take BITSAT, irrespective of their percentage in Board exams. It means that if you have scored 99% in your Class XII board exams but are not a topper of your board, you are not eligible for direct admission to BITS, Pilani. On the other hand, a topper of another board might only have 85% but he or she will be eligible for direct admissions. Yet, askIITians experts say that students who get good scores in their board exams are likely to crack BITSAT 2019 easily too. So, pay attention to your school studies.
