* The specific BITS Pilani campus: BITS Pilani, Hyderabad, and Goa campuses have different cutoffs. Pilani's cutoff is generally the highest.
* The year: Cutoffs vary from year to year based on the difficulty of the exam and the number of applicants.
* Your category: Reservations (if applicable) affect the cutoff scores.
Therefore, I cannot definitively say whether you should apply for Computer Science, Mechanical, or Electronics with a 225 score.
To determine your chances, I strongly recommend:
1. Check the previous year's cutoff scores: Look at the official BITSAT website or reliable sources for the cutoff scores for each branch at each campus for the past few years. This will give you a realistic estimate of your chances.
2. Consider your preferences: Which branch are you most interested in? Your passion and aptitude for a particular field are equally important as the cutoff score. If you're passionate about a branch, even if the chances are slightly lower, you should still consider applying.
3. Apply strategically: Given that 225 might be a borderline score for some branches at some campuses, you might want to consider applying to all three branches but prioritizing your preferences in the application. Apply to the campus you're least interested in as your last option if your score is marginal.
In short, while a 225 score is respectable, research the cutoffs and carefully consider your preferences before making your application choices. Don't rely solely on this score; your best bet is to check the official website and past year's data for accurate predictions.
