7. IMPORTANT NOTE

After the payment of requisite fees, the candidate has following two options:

Freeze: A candidate once offered admission to a particular programme, after an admission iteration, can choose the “Freeze” option
online using his/her login credentials. If chosen, the currently allotted programme would be freezed, and the candidate is considered
to opt out of consideration for all other programmes of higher preferences (as given in the application form). This option is to be
exercised very carefully while making the payment of nominal fees (INR 10/-) and cannot be reversed under any conditions. To be
abundantly clear, once a candidate has opted out of programmes of all higher preferences (i.e. have chosen the “Freeze” option),
he/she will not be considered for those programmes in any of the further iterations. Therefore, such candidates should exercise this
option only after mature consideration.

Freeze the campus (i.e. slide up in the campus of currently allotted programme): A candidate once offered admission to a
programme in a particular campus, can freeze the campus. With this, the candidate can slide up in further iterations in the campus
freezed, and is considered to opt out of all other higher preferences in other campuses. This decision cannot be reversed under any
circumstances. To be more clear about this option, once the candidate opts for this option then the higher preferences of other
campuses of BITS Pilani will be removed and only the higher preferences of the same campus (in which he/she got the admission
while exercising this option) will be considered for the subsequent iterations. While opting for this option the candidate has to pay a
nominal fee (INR 11/-).

If the candidate does not choose any of the above options, then by default, he/she will be considered for all the higher
preferences (as given in his/her application form) in the subsequent iterations.

8. REPORTING AT BITS

Candidates selected for admission in Integrated first degree programmes (including B. Pharm.) at Indian Campuses of BITS Pilani
have to complete all admissions related formalities on October 16, 2022 (9:00 AM to 2:00 PM). Candidates can reach to the
respective Campus one day before the reporting date to take possession of the hostel, etc. The details will be communicated to you
through your registered email id.

For completion of all your admissions related formalities, on the day of reporting, you will be required to get the following
documents verified in original. Please bring two sets of self-attested photocopies of all the following documents:
· Mark sheet of Senior School Certificate Examination (XII Standard) under 10+2 School System or its equivalent issued by the
Board/University.
· Senior School/XII Pass Certificate Issued by the Board.
· Matriculation/Secondary School/X Pass Certificate issued by the Board.
· Transfer/Migration Certificate in original
· Certificate of Medical fitness (See Proforma below).

Please note that until physical verification of documents, your admission at BITS Pilani is provisional. The provisional offer will be
confirmed after fulfilling the following conditions. If the information given by you are found incorrect, your admission will be
canceled at any stage. Please also refer to BITS admissions website for more details:
(i) Verification for the correctness of information you have provided in the application form, academic records including your 10+2
Marks;
(ii) Meeting the eligibility requirements of Grade 12 as given below;

(a) You have passed the 12th examination or its equivalent in the year 2021 or 2022.
(b) You have obtained a minimum of aggregate 75% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects in 12th year
examination, with at least 60% marks in each of the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics subjects. Please note that
PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) marks obtained in the 12th year only shall be considered for the offer allotment
and 11th year marks shall not be considered in your allotment even if your board includes the 11th year marks in the
mark sheet.
Further, this is subject to the condition that the student should have taken all the required subjects to pass the exam in one
sitting. If you have taken improvement exam in selected subjects, then those marks should not be included in calculating
the aggregate percentage to meet the above requirement. The acceptance of admission/waitlist offer (if any) by the
candidate would mean that the candidate confirms that he/she meets all the eligibility criteria and he/she has submitted
his/her 10+2 marks correctly.

Ø On the reporting day, the candidate will be interviewed/interacted by a Senior faculty member of the Institute. This interview
will not change any merit order of the candidate. However, if the candidate fails to show up for the interview, his/her
admission will automatically be cancelled.
