Score-based, not rank-based — BITS admits directly on your BITSAT score out of 390 (plus up to 36 bonus marks).
Figures are Iteration 2, 2024 cycle — treat as a planning benchmark since cutoffs shift with applicant pool strength each year.

| BITS Pilani (main) | Electronics & Instrumentation (EI) | ~370–385 |

| BITS Hyderabad | CSE | ~370–385 |
| BITS Hyderabad | Electronics & Communication | ~355–370 |
| BITS Hyderabad | Mechanical Engineering | ~320–340 |
| BITS Dubai | CSE | ~280–310 (lower; international campus) |
Yes — BITS Pilani (the main, original campus) requires roughly 395–410 for CSE, while BITS Hyderabad needs roughly 370–385. Hyderabad is the more accessible campus for a similar BITS-brand outcome, and it's the closest campus geographically for Tamil Nadu students.
BITS Dubai has a noticeably lower cutoff (~280–310 for CSE) since it's the international campus with a smaller applicant pool — but weigh it against currency-adjusted fees and career-network differences before treating it as an easier route to the same outcome.
