Important Dates for BITSAT 2026 Iteration 3

These dates are as reported by CollegeDekho's live coverage of the counselling process. Candidates should cross-check the final schedule on the official BITS Pilani admission portal, as authorities can revise dates without prior notice.

Programmes and Campuses Covered in Iteration 3

Iteration 3 allotments apply to candidates in the running for the following programmes:

• B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) - offered across Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses, in multiple branches such as Computer Science, Electronics & Communication, Electrical & Electronics, Mechanical, Chemical, Mathematics and Computing, and others.
• B.Pharm. (Bachelor of Pharmacy) - offered only at the Pilani and Hyderabad campuses; this programme is not available at Goa.
• Integrated M.Sc. programmes (including Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biological Sciences, and Economics) - offered across the three campuses with varying availability.

Note: Civil Engineering is not offered at the Goa campus, so candidates interested in this branch can only be allotted seats at Pilani or Hyderabad.

How to Check BITSAT 2026 Iteration 3 Result

• Visit the official BITS admission portal at admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in.
• Look for the link labelled "First Degree Iteration 3 Assignment Status" once it goes live.
• Log in using your Application Number and Password.
• Submit your login details to view your admission status.
• Check whether you have received a fresh seat allotment, an upgraded seat, or remain on the waitlist.
• Download and save your admission status/allotment letter for future reference.

Fresh Allotment vs. Seat Upgrade: What's the Difference?

Candidates often confuse these two outcomes in the iteration system:

• Fresh allotment: Applies to candidates who were previously on the waitlist and have now crossed the merit threshold to secure a seat for the first time.
• Seat upgrade: Applies to candidates who already hold a seat from an earlier iteration and have now been moved to a higher preference (a different branch or campus) based on their original preference order.

Fee Payment After Iteration 3

Candidates who receive a new allotment or an upgraded seat in Iteration 3 must pay the required admission fee by the notified deadline to retain their seat. Based on the counselling schedule, the balance fee payment deadline for Iteration 3 allottees is July 18, 2026. Failure to pay within this window may result in cancellation of the allotted seat.

Note on fee figures: some unofficial live-blog sources have referenced specific tuition and admission fee amounts for the 2026-27 academic year. Since these are not drawn from an official BITS Pilani fee notification in the sources reviewed for this article, candidates should verify exact fee amounts directly on the official portal before making any payment.

Required Documents for Reporting

Candidates allotted a seat through Iteration 3 should keep the following documents ready before physically reporting to their allotted campus:

• Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
• Transfer Certificate (TC)
• Migration Certificate (if applicable)
• Valid photo identity proof
• Passport-size photographs
• Admission letter / admission status printout
• Fee payment receipt

Important Instructions for Candidates

• Carefully verify your allotted campus, programme, and admission category immediately after logging in; report any discrepancy to the admissions office right away.
• Complete all fee payments only through the official payment gateway inside your admission dashboard. BITS Pilani has warned candidates against making direct transfers or UPI payments to any individual claiming to represent the institute.
• If your bank account is debited but the dashboard does not immediately show a successful payment confirmation, wait for the system to sync rather than attempting the payment again.
• Candidates who are not satisfied with their Iteration 3 allotment can use the official withdrawal window (July 19–20, 2026) if they wish to opt out, subject to admission rules.
• Candidates who remain on the waitlist after Iteration 3 will continue to be considered in Iteration 4 (expected July 22, 2026) and subsequent rounds, based on seat vacancies.
• The official portal may experience heavy traffic and slow loading on result day; candidates are advised to be patient and retry after some time rather than repeatedly refreshing or resubmitting forms.
