However, the full information brochure for BITSAT 2026 has not yet been released. This delay is causing concern among many students who plan to take the entrance exam.
BITS Pilani, the organizing authority, started the BITSAT 2026 registration process on December 15, 2025 .

What Information is Confirmed?
According to the BITS admissions website, the following details are confirmed:
- Registration for BITSAT 2026 Session 1 or both sessions is active and will close on March 16, 2026 .
- Registration for Session 2 will be available later, from April 20 to May 2, 2026 .
- The eligibility rules for BITSAT have changed. Students are now not allowed to re-attempt all subjects in their Class 12 qualifying exam to meet the 75% marks criteria.

Missing Details in the Brochure
The delay in releasing the information brochure means students do not have access to several crucial details. These include:
- Detailed Eligibility Criteria: Specific rules for students who are repeating their exams, those from NIOS, or candidates improving their scores.
- BITSAT Exam Syllabus: The complete list of topics to study for the exam.
- BITSAT 2026 Exam Pattern: Information on the number of questions, marking scheme, and types of questions.
Without these details, students face difficulty in planning their study and preparation strategies. The revised eligibility criteria, in particular, has left some students confused, especially those attempting to improve their Class 12 scores.
Why the Brochure is Important
The information brochure acts as the main rulebook for the BITSAT exam. It contains all the official rules, guidelines, and terms for the entrance test and the admission process. If there is any confusion or conflict during the admission process, the details given in the brochure are considered final.
Students typically rely on this document to understand the exam format, prepare effectively, and ensure they meet all requirements. The absence of the brochure means students are missing this essential guidance.
When to Expect the Brochure
Candidates can expect the BITSAT 2026 information brochure to be released soon. Historically, the brochure is made available either at the start of the registration period or within a few days after it begins. Students should regularly check the official BITS admissions website for the latest updates.
