Use this checklist to prepare well before your reporting date.

  • BITS Pilani conducts admission across three campuses: Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad.
  • Campus reporting is expected in the third or fourth week of June 2026, following the seat allotment rounds.
  • Carry originals and at least 3 sets of self-attested photocopies of every document.
  • Category certificate holders (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwD) must bring valid, government-issued certificates — OBC-NCL certificates must be from the current financial year.

Academic Documents Required

Academic certificates form the core of BITSAT 2026 admission verification. All originals must be presented at the reporting desk; photocopies alone are not accepted for verification.

  • Class 10 Marksheet and Certificate: Used to verify your date of birth. Ensure the document carries your board’s official stamp and your name matches the BITSAT application form.
  • Class 12 Marksheet: Your BITSAT 2026 eligibility is cross-checked against Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics scores. Students must have secured at least 75% aggregate in PCM in Class 12 to be eligible for admission (based on standard BITS Pilani norms).
  • Transfer Certificate (TC): Issued by your Class 12 school. The TC must be an original — photocopies are not accepted as substitutes.
  • Migration Certificate: Required if you completed Class 12 under a board from a different state than the campus you are joining. Obtain this from your school or board office well before the reporting date.
  • Character Certificate: Issued by the principal of your last attended institution. It should be dated no more than 6 months before the reporting date.

Category-wise Certificate Requirements

Students admitted under reserved categories must submit valid, government-issued certificates at BITSAT 2026 campus reporting. Certificates that are expired or improperly issued will not be accepted.

Category Certificate Required Issuing Authority
SC / ST Caste Certificate District Magistrate / SDM / Tehsildar
OBC-NCL OBC Non-Creamy Layer Certificate (current financial year) District Magistrate / SDM / Tehsildar
EWS Economically Weaker Section Certificate District Magistrate / SDM / Tehsildar
PwD Disability Certificate (40% or more disability) Government Hospital / CMO
Defence / Staff Ward Service or employment proof Commanding Officer / BITS HR Department

OBC-NCL students must note that the Non-Creamy Layer certificate must be from the financial year 2025–26 or 2026–27. An expired certificate will not be accepted and may lead to reclassification under the general category.


Photographs and Identity Proof

Students should carry 10–12 recent passport-size photographs taken within 3 months of the reporting date. These are used for your ID card, hostel registration, and library enrollment at the campus.

  • Photograph specifications: 35mm × 45mm, colour, white or light background, no spectacles, no cap or headgear.
  • Aadhaar Card: Mandatory as the primary identity proof. Carry the original and 3 self-attested photocopies.
  • Alternate ID (if Aadhaar is unavailable): A valid passport, Voter ID, or Driving Licence may be accepted as secondary identity proof. Confirm acceptable alternatives with your specific campus admissions office before reporting.

Affidavits and Additional Documents

Beyond marksheets and certificates, BITS Pilani requires certain affidavits and undertakings during BITSAT 2026 campus reporting. Missing affidavits can delay hostel and course registration.

  • Anti-Ragging Affidavit: Separate affidavits signed by the student and by the parent or guardian are mandatory. Templates are typically available on the official admission portal closer to the reporting date.
  • Medical Fitness Certificate: Issued by a registered MBBS doctor, certifying the student is medically fit to pursue engineering studies. Some campuses may also conduct their own medical screening on arrival.
  • Gap Year Affidavit: Students who took a year off after Class 12 must submit a notarised affidavit explaining the reason. It must be executed on stamp paper of the applicable denomination.
  • Fee Payment Receipt: Print the e-receipt for the seat acceptance fee paid during online allotment from the official BITSAT admission portal.
  • Hostel Preference Form: If the campus requires a prior preference submission, carry the completed form available on the respective campus portal.

Tips for a Smooth Reporting Process

Organising your BITSAT 2026 documents well before the reporting date saves time and avoids last-minute problems at the campus verification desk.

  • Prepare at least 3 sets of self-attested photocopies of every document at least one week before reporting.
  • Sort papers in a labelled clear-file folder with separate sections for originals and each photocopy set.
  • Apply for your Transfer Certificate and Migration Certificate at least 3 weeks before the reporting date — schools and boards can take time to issue these.
  • OBC-NCL students: renew your Non-Creamy Layer certificate before reporting if your current one is from the previous financial year.
  • Download and print all online documents — scorecard, seat allotment letter, and fee receipt — from the official BITSAT portal in advance.
  • Keep a digital backup of all documents on your phone or email so you can reprint quickly if needed.

BITSAT 2026 Admission Documents FAQs

Ques. Which are the most important documents for BITSAT 2026 campus reporting?

Ans. The BITSAT 2026 scorecard, seat allotment letter, Class 12 marksheet, and Transfer Certificate are the most critical. Missing any of these may result in delayed or provisional admission at the campus.

Ques. How many passport-size photographs should students carry for BITSAT 2026 admission?

Ans. Carry 10–12 recent passport-size photographs (35mm × 45mm, white background, taken within 3 months) for ID card issuance, hostel allotment, and library registration at the campus.

Ques. Is a Migration Certificate mandatory for BITSAT 2026 reporting?

Ans. Yes, a Migration Certificate is generally required, particularly if your Class 12 board is from a state different from the campus you are joining. Obtain it from your school or board office at least 3 weeks before reporting.

Ques. What should OBC-NCL students verify before submitting their certificate for BITSAT 2026?

Ans. OBC-NCL students must ensure their Non-Creamy Layer certificate is from the current financial year (2025–26 or 2026–27). An expired certificate may lead to reclassification under the general category, affecting the seat allotted to you.

Ques. Is a gap year affidavit required if a student passed Class 12 in 2025 and joins BITSAT 2026?

Ans. Students who completed Class 12 in 2025 and are joining in 2026 are part of the immediate admission cycle and are generally not considered to have a gap year. A gap year affidavit is required only if you finished Class 12 before 2025 and did not pursue any course or admission in the intervening period.

Ques. What happens if a student has not received the original Class 12 certificate before the reporting date?

Ans. If your board has not issued the original certificate yet, carry your provisional marksheet or result printout and explain the situation to the admissions desk. BITS Pilani typically grants provisional admission with a deadline to submit originals once issued by the board.
