Your Aim - BITSAT

The Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani, is a University established under Section 3 of the UGC Act. Admissions are made on the basis of a Computer based Online Test conducted by BITS, Pilani. This test will be referred to as BITS Admission test', in short as BITSAT.


Eligibility:

For admission to integrated first degree programmes, the candidate should have passed the 12th examination of the 10+2 system from a recognized Central/State board or its equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Since the medium of instruction at BITS is English, candidates should have adequate proficiency in English. Further, the candidate should have obtained a minimum of aggregate 80% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects in 12th examination, with at least 60% marks in each of the Physics. Chemistry, and Mathematics subjects.
First rank students of all the central and state boards in India will be given direct admission to the programme of their choice, irrespective of their BITSAT score.


BITSAT Test Format: BITSAT will be of total 3 hour duration (without break). The test consists of four ports:


Part I : Mathematics
Part II : Physics
Part III : Chemistry
Part IV : (a) English Proficiency and (b) Logical Reasoning.


All questions are of objective type (multiple choice questions); each question with choice of four answers, only one being correct choice. Each correct answer fetches 3 marks, while each incorrect answer has a penalty of 1 mark. No marks are awarded for not attempted questions. While the candidate can skip a question, the computer will not allow the candidate to choose more than one option as correct answer.


There will be 150 questions in all. The number of questions in each part is as follows:

Subject	No.of Questions
Part I Mathematics	45
Part II Physics	40
Part III Chemistry	40
Part IV (a) English Proficiency                 (b) Logical Reasoning	15 10
Total	150

There is no time limit for individual parts of the test. The candidate can go back and change any of his/her answers among the 150 questions.

If a candidate answers all the 150 questions (without skipping any question), the candidate will have an option of attempting 12 (twelve) extra questions, if there is still time left. These extra questions will be from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics only; four questions from each part. Further, once the candidate has opted for extra questions, he cannot go back for correction of any of the earlier answered 150 questions.

The questions are so designed that a good student will be able to answer 150 questions in 180 minutes. The extra questions (a maximum of 12) will give a chance to highly meritorious candidates to score higher. However, candidates should keep in mind the fact that there is negative marking for wrong answers and any attempt to answer the questions by pure guessing of the answers is not likely to have any advantage, but may result in a reduction in the total score.
