BITS Pilani to provide 100 per cent tuition fee waiver to top 1000 BITSAT rankers from 2027

The BITS Pilani institution has announced a 100 per cent tuition fee scholarship for students securing a rank in the top 1,000 in the BITSAT entrance examination, starting from the 2027 admission cycle. Under this new scheme, students meeting the prescribed academic and income criteria will be granted exemption from the full tuition fee during their four-year undergraduate programme. This decision will expand the scope of financial assistance for academically talented students, especially for those whose family's annual income is up to ₹ 20 lakh.

According to a report by Mint, the rules for this scholarship have been made very clear. Students wishing to avail of this scheme will have to maintain at least a 7.5 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) during their four years of study. The most significant feature of this scholarship is that it will be included along with the admission offer, meaning students will not need to make any separate application after securing admission.

V. Ramgopal Rao, Vice Chancellor of the BITS Pilani Group, confirmed this initiative in an interview given to news agency PTI. He stated that the main objective of this effort is to ensure that high-performing students do not remain unable to choose this institution due to economic constraints.
