The online application portal for the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani International Students Admission (ISA) 2026 has officially closed. The window was for international candidates to submit their applications for the 2026 academic cycle.

This special ISA application window is specifically dedicated to filling vacant seats across the premier institute’s three domestic campuses located in Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad for the upcoming 2026–27 academic session. International applicants, including foreign nationals and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), who missed the initial application cycle or recently received their standardized test scores can submit their applications through the official portal from June 3 to 22, 2026.

This reopening is a final "mop-up" round to fill the remaining international seats left over from the first admission phase. If you apply through the ISA pathway, you don't have to take the regular BITSAT exam. Instead, your admission is based on your SAT scores or international board marks. Leftover seats are available across competitive engineering (B.E.), pharmacy (B.Pharm.), and integrated science (M.Sc.) programs. As the spots are strictly limited, seats will be given out on a merit basis according to your preferences. Check what is available at each campus and lock in your choices well before the June 22 deadline. If you get an offer, you will need to act fast to pay your fees and submit your documents to secure your spot.

Who Can Apply for BITS Pilani ISA 2026?

If you are a foreign national, know are you eligible to get admission:

  • Foreign Citizens & NRIs: This window is exclusively for Non-Resident Indians and international applicants.
  • Late Examinees: Perfect for students who missed the initial April deadline or just received their SAT scores from the May/June exam cycles.

The ISA 2026 Application Procedure

You must complete the steps accurately to be considered for the remaining vacancies.

  • Step 1: Before applying, visit the official BITS admission portal to check which campuses (Pilani, Goa, or Hyderabad) still have vacant seats in your preferred streams.
