The three major reasons for the lower cutoff at BITS Pilani are listed below
Increasing Seats – In the current scenario, IITs are far more developed and are the top institutes in India. An increase in the number of students is directly proportional to the probability of success. So, BITS follows the same pattern used by the smart IITs in India
Increasing Fees – There is a general tendency among students to opt for colleges that are relatively more costly than others, which is evident from institutes like IITs, Harvard, and so on. BITS also started to follow the trend.
Third-Party Factors – As we know, most of the students were attracted to IITs mainly because of the brand name. So the competition level is very high here, so most of the students will choose institutes like BITS, which have lower cutoffs.
