Bannari Amman Institute of Technology (BIT Sathy) allocates its undergraduate engineering seats through two distinct channels: state-run centralized counselling and direct institutional selection. Understanding your eligible route and its deadlines is the first step toward securing a seat for the 2026 academic year.
For candidates entering through the state system, the institute's official TNEA counselling code is 2702.
Urgent Deadline: 2026 Supplementary Counselling
The three main rounds of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counselling have concluded. However, candidates who missed the primary rounds or remain unallotted have one final opportunity through TNEA 2026 Supplementary Counselling.
- Next Action: Register online at the official portal (suppl.tneaonline.org).
- Deadline: August 31, 2026.
- Scope: This round fills remaining vacant B.E. and B.Tech. seats in the Government Quota across eligible institutions, including BIT Sathy.
Admission Routes and Quotas
BIT Sathy splits its B.E. and B.Tech. intake into two primary quotas, each with its own selection mechanics:
- Government Quota (65% of seats): Allotted exclusively through TNEA counselling administered by the Directorate of Technical Education (DoTE), Tamil Nadu. Selection is based strictly on a candidate's Class 12 marks in core science subjects.
- Management Quota (35% of seats): Managed directly by the institute. Interested applicants apply via the BIT Sathy admission portal. TNEA registration is not mandatory for these seats, but selection remains merit-based on Class 12 performance.
- Lateral Entry: Diploma holders from the State Board of Technical Education and Training (or equivalent) can apply for direct admission into the third semester (second year) of B.E./B.Tech. programmes.
Eligibility Rules
Academic eligibility depends on your category and the subjects studied in Class 12 (10+2).
- Subject Requirements: Applicants must have passed Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). For specific programmes such as Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering, Biology may also be evaluated alongside the core subjects.
- Minimum Aggregate Marks (PCM):
- General Category: 45%
- Reserved Categories (BC, MBC, SC, ST): 40%
Postgraduate Eligibility (M.E./M.Tech./MBA): Candidates applying for M.E. or M.Tech. programmes must hold a relevant B.E./B.Tech. degree and present a valid GATE or CEETA PG score. MBA applicants must secure a valid score in the TANCET examination.
Selection and Enrolment Process
Admission Guardian analysis sequences the BIT Sathy selection process into these verified stages based on official routes:
- Route Selection and Application: Government Quota applicants must register with TNEA and participate in the centralized choice-filling rounds. Management Quota applicants must apply directly to BIT Sathy.
- Merit Evaluation: Neither route requires a separate entrance examination for undergraduate engineering. TNEA calculates an aggregate cut-off score out of 200 based on Class 12 PCM marks to determine a state-wide rank. Management quota seats also use Class 12 merit.
- Seat Allotment: TNEA issues a Provisional Allotment Order for Government Quota candidates who meet the cutoff for their preferred branch at BIT Sathy.
- Campus Reporting and Verification: Allotted candidates must report to the Sathyamangalam campus with their original documents to confirm their seat.
Documents Required for Confirmation
Whether admitted through the Government or Management Quota, candidates must produce the following original documents for verification, along with one set of photocopies:
- Class 10 (SSLC) and Class 11/12 mark sheets
- Transfer Certificate and Conduct Certificate
- Community Certificate (Permanent card or digitally signed e-Certificate; applicable for BC/BCM/MBC/SC/ST/SCA)
- Physical Fitness Certificate (from a registered medical practitioner)
- Photocopy of the student's Aadhaar Card
Additional Route-Specific Documents:
- Government Quota Only: TNEA Provisional Allotment Order.
- First Graduate Claimants: First Graduate Tahsildar Certificate and Joint Declaration signed by parent and student (if applicable for fee concessions).
