Summary

  7. Final decisions on the exam. All decisions of the Company on exam conduct, evaluation, and results are final and binding. No re-evaluation is offered. In case of a genuine technical issue, you may write to support@pbise.in; the Company may, at its sole discretion, offer a re-attempt slot.
  8. Governing law. Indian law; courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra.

1. Use of Website

The website provides information about PBISE, including registration, exam schedules, syllabus, eligibility, and scholarship details, and information about associated undergraduate programs at BPDC. Users must use the website only for lawful purposes. Unauthorised use may result in legal action. The Company may restrict or terminate access for any user who violates these Terms.

2. Relationship with BITS Pilani Dubai Campus

PBISE is the official sponsored scholarship examination of BITS Pilani Dubai Campus. BPDC sponsors PBISE; the Company operates the examination, registration platform, and ancillary services under that sponsorship arrangement. The scholarship structure, slabs, criteria for award, and list of partner programs (if any) are determined by BPDC. Scholarship awards are made by BPDC at its discretion in accordance with criteria published by BPDC.

The Company is not BPDC and is not an educational institution. The Company does not admit students, enrol students, deliver academic instruction, or confer degrees. PBISE-related admission decisions, scholarship disbursements, and related institutional matters lie exclusively with BPDC.

3. Eligibility and Registration

PBISE is offered to students who meet the eligibility criteria set by the Company in consultation with BPDC. Eligibility requirements are communicated through the website and are built into the registration process and exam-related features.

Applicants must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. The Company reserves the right to reject any registration, disqualify any candidate, or recommend withholding of a scholarship at any stage if a candidate is found to be ineligible, has misrepresented information, has circumvented eligibility checks, or has provided fraudulent details. The Company shall not be responsible for any consequences arising from inaccurate information provided by the candidate.

Admission to BPDC is a separate process governed by BPDC. BPDC obtains its own consents and conducts its own verification at the time of application for admission and scholarship disbursement.

4. Exam Fee

PBISE is offered free of charge. There is no fee to register for or take the exam. We will never request payment, gift cards, recharge codes, cryptocurrency, or any other consideration for PBISE registration, the examination, results, or scholarship processing.

Any individual or entity demanding payment in the name of PBISE registration, results, scholarship release, or related services is not authorised by us. The Company shall not be responsible for any such transaction. Suspected fraud should be reported immediately to support@pbise.in.

5. Exam Conduct and Rules

By registering for PBISE, candidates agree to follow all exam rules, instructions, and codes of conduct communicated by the Company, including those relating to identity verification, timing, permitted materials, and integrity of attempt.

The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without notice, to:

  • Modify the exam schedule, format, syllabus, duration, or mode of delivery at any time.
  • Cancel, reschedule, or invalidate an attempt where malpractice, technical issues, or other circumstances warrant.
  • Disqualify any candidate found engaging in cheating, impersonation, or any conduct that compromises the integrity of the exam.

Finality of decisions. All decisions of the Company on exam conduct, evaluation, results, and disqualification are final and binding. No re-evaluation of marking is offered, and no correspondence will be entertained in respect of evaluation or scoring.

Technical issues. If a candidate is unable to complete the exam due to a genuine technical issue, the candidate may write to support@pbise.in within forty-eight (48) hours of the affected attempt, with the registration ID and a brief description of the issue. The Company may, at its sole discretion and on a case-by-case basis, offer a re-attempt slot. The Company is not obliged to offer a re-attempt, and the decision of the Company on whether to offer one, and on the conditions of any such offer, is final and binding.

6. Scholarships and Awards

Scholarships and awards under PBISE are offered subject to the terms applicable to the relevant scholarship program as published by BPDC. Eligibility for or receipt of a scholarship does not constitute a guarantee of admission to any educational institution. Admission decisions are taken by BPDC (or the relevant partner institution) in accordance with its own admission policies.

BPDC (and the Company acting on BPDC's behalf) reserves the right to modify scholarship amounts, criteria, terms of disbursal, and the list of partner programs at any time without prior notice. Such modifications shall apply prospectively unless otherwise stated.
