Hi, it usually take 15-20 days to get a PI call.
BITSoM evaluates an applicant’s overall profile. While your cat score is lower when compared to last year’s median of 94 percentile. You can cover up for your cat score with your profile (extraordinary achievements) and essays.

Your work ex will definitely give you diversity points and will help cover up the cat score. You can definitely try applying.
Thank you Suvam 
Would you be able to give range of cat scores that got admits last year?
@Suvam13 @Harshahn I submitted the application form on 27th January, when can I expect shortlisting mail for the PI(or next phase)?
There is no point of doing an MBA degree for 24 lacs during this pandemic time unless it’s IIM A,B,C or ISB . Also BITS Pilani has failed to live up to its brand value at MBA domain . So they have just rebranded their MBA program with some investment . Noone even knows what will happen to placements . Don’t fall into these traps . Appear for CAT again & target top 20 colleges in India
Ahh, so all those who have been getting placed from other colleges have not made their lives better? Maybe there are a portion of students for whom it hasn’t been great but for a lot of students, it has improved their lives. There are a large number of us who despite our best efforts have not got our desired score.
It isn’t easy for everyone to wait one year to give the CAT, especially since a large number of B-schools (other than IIMB, GLIM, BITSoM and ISB) don’t like too much work ex or whatever the reason an individual may have not to give it again.
We are not compromising by taking the next best choice but we are improvising on the choice we have. Some give another shot, some take admission. Don’t negate an entire cohort of colleges and their students because they didn’t transform people’s CTCs to 24-25 lakhs. For many of us the opportunities and doors that are opened after these B-schools are significantly better than what we have now.
So do us a favour, stop spreading negativity and making people feel even more discourage about their choices. Those of us want to study here are making the choice consciously.
- Any interview transcripts? I tried on gmatclub and telegram but couldn’t find.
- Scholarship % figures and how many are awarded?
Cat percentiles ranged from around 80 to 99+ last year
It usually takes 15-20 days
You will find interview experiences of admits on gmatclub - search for admitted profiles BITSoM.
As far as scholarship amount goes - It ranged from 15 to 100 percent for my batch.
After getting 98.11 percentile in CAT and an admit from 20+ B-schools including the likes of IIM Shillong, all new IIMs, SIBM, MICA and IMT I chose to go with BITSoM and I am really glad that I took that decision. The faculty, the student life, the summer placements, the batch quality, the curriculum, the accommodation - the whole experience has been completely amazing and way above my expectation. I have got some great opportunities - like working with the dean on a real business project, working with a nation wide NGO on a live project and I will be soon working with Landor & Fitch on a brand consultancy project. Some of my batchmates will even be working for Nivea, Google, Big Basket, Coca Cola, HUL, Nestle, Pidilite, Bain, EY Parthenon and Hershey’s just to name a few.
So before you make such comments I would advise you to back them with facts.

I submitted my form on Dec 3 2021. When should I expect PI call? Or my application is rejected?.And document status in my dashboard is still showing status as “in progress”.
Hi, it usually takes 20 days for an applicant to get a PI call but there have been cases before where people got an interview call a few months later, so do not lose hope.
Hi Suvam,
Does that mean even for those of us who submitted closer to the deadline may have to wait a few months?
