My BITSAT Exam Experience

After the 12th, the students who want to get into engineering, appears in many engineering entrance exams like JEE, VITEEE, WBJEE, CUET and many more.....And one among them is BITSAT (Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test). I had also appeared in various exams including BITSAT.

BITSAT is the Computer based online test conducted for Admissions to First Degree Programmes of BITS Pilani at Pilani Campus , K K Birla Goa Campus and Hyderabad Campus. It is considered that the level of difficulty of BITSAT is tougher than JEE. But more the exams have different marking schemes and different number of questions. We can say that the pattern is totally different but the concepts asked are the same.

PREPARATION STRATEGY:-

I had taken coaching from ALLEN KOTA. Alongside with JEE, I had also prepared for BITSAT. The notes and books that are followed for JEE preparation like Concepts of Physics Vol I and II by H.C. Verma, Organic Chemistry – M. S. Chauhan, Problems in General Physics by I.E. Irodov, Solomons' Organic Chemistry, Concise Inorganic Chemistry by JD Lee etc. In addition to these, English & Logical Reasoning for BITSAT with 10 Mock Tests (5 in Book and 5 Online Tests) by Disha Publication is highly recommended.

IMPORTANT TOPICS:-

Physics: Heat and Thermodynamics Magnetic Effect of Current, Simple Harmonic Motion Waves and Optics

Chemistry: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure, Chemical Thermodynamics p-Block Elements, d- and f-Block Elements

Mathematics: Algebra Trigonometry Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Probability

EXAM PATTERN:-

PARTICULARS	DETAILS
Exam Mode	Computer based test i.e. conducted online
Duration	3 hours
Medium	English
Total number of questions	130 { If a candidate answers all 130 questions (without skipping any question), the candidate will have an option of attempting 12 (twelve) extra questions, if there is still time left. }
Type of Questions asked	MCQs
Total marks	390
Sections	Section:1 - Physics (30 questions) Section:2 - Chemistry (30 questions) Section:3 - English Proficiency (10 questions) and Logical Reasoning (20 questions) Section:4 - Mathematics/Biology (40 questions)
Marking Scheme	For every correct answer: +3 marks For every incorrect answer: -1 mark

It also differs from JEE in a way that it is English proficiency and logical reasoning is asked.

Do's:-

1. Prepare revision notes.
2. Do more number of mock tests.
3. Do revision daily.
4. Try to solve more number of questions.
5. Maximize efficiency.

DONT'S:-

1. Don't be panic during the exam.
2. Try avoiding backlogs.

These all strategies helped me out in going clearing BITSAT but other exams also. Lastly prepare a strategy of how to attempt the exam in a time bound manner and ALL THE BEST for your exam!!
