Hello Priyanshu, unlike the government institutes like NIT IIT or equivalent such colleges BITS Pilani does not offer any reservation based on any category like SC or St or OBC. Of course, they do offer seeds without any entrance examination for those students who appear in the list of merit candidates of the 12th examination conducted by different boards across India.
