The application process for the 2026 BITS Pilani Board Toppers Admission Scheme, which offers direct entry to first-rank holders of state and central boards without the BITSAT exam, concludes on June 30, 2026.  

Applicants under the Admission Scheme must finalize any necessary modifications to their submissions via the online edit window on July 5. To maintain strict academic standards, BITS Pilani will verify all applications directly with the respective education boards. Under the institute's strict policy, any errors, differences, or false information found in the submitted rank certificates will lead to immediate cancellation of the application, and the university may take legal action.
