Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Examination Pattern

 

• BITSAT is a Computer Based Test

• BITSAT-is total 3-hour duration (without break). The test consists of four parts:
  
  Part I : Physics
  
  Part II : Chemistry
  
  Part III : (a) English Proficiency and (b) Logical Reasoning
  
  Part IV : Mathematics
  


• 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 Physics                                                            40

Part II Chemistry                                                       40

Part III (a) English Proficiency                                 15

(b) Logical Reasoning                                              10

Part IV Mathematics OR Biology                             45

Points about the Computer based Test

• 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 / Biology 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 will be selected at random from a large question bank
  


• A sample test is made available to the registered candidates at the BITS website on which he/she can practice as many times as desired.
