BITS Pilani has opened slot booking for BITSAT 2026 Session 2, allowing registered candidates to select exam dates and shifts via the admissions portal at admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in. This process runs until May 15, 2026, ahead of the revised exam window from May 25 to 27. Early action matters, as slots fill on a first-come, first-served basis in this competitive engineering entrance exam.
Revised Exam Schedule and Slot Booking Process
The institute shifted BITSAT 2026 Session 2 dates to May 25-27, conducted as a computer-based test at centers across India. Each day features two shifts: morning from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and afternoon from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Candidates log in with their application number and password, choose preferences, and receive confirmation-changes afterward prove impossible.
Step-by-Step Guide and Key Guidelines
To book, candidates visit the official portal, enter credentials, access the Session 2 option, pick a date and shift, then submit. Exam center assignment occurs separately, with no choice available during booking. Authorities warn of automatic allocation for those missing the deadline and stress stable internet use. Failing to book risks suboptimal timing amid high demand.
Admit Cards, Documents, and Exam Day Essentials
Admit cards release on May 20, 2026, detailing date, shift, reporting time, center address, and candidate information-printing is mandatory. At centers, students present the hall ticket plus a valid photo ID such as Aadhaar, PAN, passport, Voter ID, driving license, or school ID. Entry denies without these, underscoring preparation's role in this high-stakes test.
