How do you get into bits pilani?
Pilani,Goa and Hyderabad Campuses
Since 2005, admits to BITS campuses have been offered to students based on their performance in an all-India Entrance Examination called BITS Admission Test (BITSAT). BITSAT, an admission test exclusive to the BITS Pilani university, is a test conducted online and held between May 1 and June 10 in many cities all over India. The exam tests the candidate's knowledge, reasoning and analytical abilities in English, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Logical reasoning, and is based broadly on the higher secondary curriculum in India and abroad. To be eligible for admissions, prospective students are also required to obtain a minimum aggregate of 80% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (subject to a minimum of 60% in each of these three subjects) in their higher secondary examination.
Toppers of higher secondary examinations of each single board are exempted from taking BITSAT test and are considered for direct admission. This exemption helps ensure that BITS-Pilani retain a significant number (about 20-25) of first rank holders from various boards across the country. The toppers are free to choose any discipline offered in all campuses.
Acceptance rate in BITS is very low, (Selectivity < 2.08% in 2007) making it one of the most selective in India to get admission into. The admission is purely on the basis of merit and not through any kind of reservation. This ensures that the student quality of BITS is highly maintained. For more information, see BITS Admission.

July means rain... that's what its all bout....
But Goa is the place to be when it pours man.... This is the best time to visit Goa for reasons unheard by tourist who travel to Goa during the crappy on season.
It rich green and blue and the sky i full of snow white clouds....
the sea is crazy (of course u cant swim! what are the swimming pools for than??)
U have no tourist around and that's the reason that hotels are cheap (that also means that the beaches are cleaner...)
The finest drinks would put u right in less than no time and the absence of neccesity of thought would restore mental equillibrium.
trust me it cant get better than July
