Sir I have got 230 marks in bitsat 2025 and also getting Ai/Ds or cse in thapar. So should I prefer dual degree in bits or go with thapar? I also have a comedk rank of 3044 through which I can get ece in msrit and every branch in bms.

Ans: Scoring 230 in BITSAT falls well below the 304–327 cutoff needed for dual degree tracks at BITS Pilani, Goa or Hyderabad, making that option unviable. Thapar University’s BTech AI/DS and CSE programs sustain ~90% placement with near-100% branch-specific rates, backed by 200+ recruiters and strong industry tie-ups. A COMEDK rank of 3,044 ensures ECE at MSRIT (2024 closing rank: 3,530) and any branch at BMS College of Engineering (CSE closing rank: 3,716), both offering 85–95% placement consistency. Recommendation: Choose Thapar’s BTech for its robust placement consistency and specialized curriculum with hands-on labs, as dual degree at BITS is unattainable. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

With dual degree, I meant msc + btech for which cutoff is less. Pls tell accordingly sir

Ans: With 230 marks in BITSAT 2025, admission to dual degree (B.E. + M.Sc. Hons.) programs at BITS campuses is not possible. The expected cutoffs for dual degree tracks remain substantially higher than regular M.Sc. programs. BITS Pilani's dual degree cutoffs for 2025 are expected at 317–327 for Computer Science, 308–318 for Mathematics & Computing, and 304–314 for Electronics & Communication. BITS Goa's dual degree cutoffs are projected around 291–311 for Computer Science and 285–305 for Mathematics & Computing. BITS Hyderabad's dual degree cutoffs are estimated at 288–308 for Computer Science and 283–303 for Mathematics & Computing. Historical data confirms this trend: 2024 saw dual degree cutoffs closing above 290 marks across all campuses, while your score of 230 falls in the rank range of 22,442–32,565, suitable only for less competitive standalone M.Sc. programs with cutoffs around 234–271 marks.
