BITS Pilani will release admission offers for Higher Degree (HD) Iteration 1 on May 8, 2026, for candidates who qualified through GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) or GPAT (Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test) scores. Selected candidates must complete their fee payment by May 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM through the official admission portal at admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in.
This is the first iteration of admissions for the 2026-27 academic year, offering M.E. and M.Pharm. programmes across BITS Pilani's Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses.
BITS Pilani's Higher Degree programmes are offered through three admission pathways: GATE/GPAT scores, BITS HD entrance test, or a combination of both. Candidates with a minimum of 60% marks in their qualifying B.E./B.Pharm. degree are eligible to apply.
The admission process follows multiple iterations to accommodate candidates from different selection modes, with Iteration 1 exclusively for GATE/GPAT-qualified candidates. This structured approach ensures fair consideration for all eligible applicants across various academic backgrounds.
