BITSAT 2026: Revised admit cards cause centre confusion
BITSAT 2026 Day 1 concluded on Apr 15, 2026 after reports that revised admit cards issued at short notice caused problems at some exam centres. Session 1 is limited to two days, with Day 2 beginning on Apr 16, 2026 .
BITSAT 2026: What happened
The authorities first issued the BITSAT admit card on Apr 10, 2026 , then withdrew it and released a revised hall ticket on Apr 11, 2026 . Several candidates who used the original ticket reached centres only to find their names not listed and were asked to return home.
Some students received the official mail about the revision after they had already left for the centre. Parents raised concerns about poor communication and the short notice to download the revised admit card.
Many students completed the exam without issues, but a minority reported being rescheduled or turned away because the centre lists matched the revised hall tickets, not the original ones.
