Prof. Ramgopal Rao, Vice Chancellor of BITS Pilani, stated, “At BITS Pilani, we want every talented student to feel that this institution is within their reach. One in every four students on our campuses receives some form of financial support, and many of our alumni have created fully funded scholarships for students from economically weaker families and for girls who aspire to study at BITS Pilani campuses. We actively encourage students from lower and middle-income backgrounds to take BITSAT with confidence. If they have the merit, we will find a way to support their education. That commitment is central to the BITS Pilani ethos.”
