They're out now!

Comp science fell to 343 last year...hmm.
"Academic Flexibilities:
Dual Degree Scheme:
To meet the ambitions of the students who could not get admission to B.E.(Hons.)/B.Pharm.(Hons.) programmes, the Institute has created facilities by which any student who is admitted to M.Sc.(Hons.) programmes is accommodated in a dual degree scheme for a second degree in B.E.(Hons.)/B.Pharm.(Hons.) programmes. This assignment is made by competition on their performance at BITS at the end of first year, separately in Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad campuses."
What does this mean?
And another weird clause popped up in the BITSAT FAQ for admissions :
"Q. My board doesn't give aggregate marks for 12th exam. What marks should I enter?
A. For CBSE, include PCM and English/Hindi and one additional elective (total five subjects) in your aggregate.
For ISCE, include PCM and English in the aggregate.
Others should calculate the aggregate marks (or its equivalent) and attach a note explaining the method used by them to calculate the aggregate."
If the eligibility criteria is 80% in PCM only, why are they asking for the aggregate of all five subjects?
1It's a dual degree scheme, where-in you take a science degree and you are alloted a B.E degree at the end of the first year based on the CGPA for the first two sems. It's a versatile system. You'll always get a B.E/B.Pharm. The branch which you get depends on your CGPA.
1Also, the cut-offs for CS will definitely increase this year. Last year cut-off fell due to effects of recession.
