BITSAT 2014: Exam Pattern and Syllabus

BITSAT 2014, conducted by BITS-Pilani, is will be held between May 14 and May 29, 2014.

The three hour long paper will be of 150 marks and will be divided into four sections/parts given below. Each of the four parts will have objective-type and multiple-choice questions. Each question will have 4 options to choose from but with only one correct option. Since, BITSAT will be a computer based online test, students will not have a chance to select more than one option for any question.

Part I: Physics (40 questions)

Part II: Chemistry (40 questions)

Part III:

(a) English Proficiency (15 questions)

(b) Logical Reasoning (10 questions)

Part IV: Mathematics or Biology (For B.Pharm candidates) (45 questions)

Opportunity to score extra points:

• Students can score extra points if they are able to solve all the  150 questions, without skipping any of them.
• For the same, students will have to attempt 12 extra questions - 4 each from Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics or Biology. This will help them increase their scores in BITSAT 2014.
• There will be no extra time to solve these questions. Besides this, once a student chooses to attempt the 12 questions, they will not be able to go back and change their answers to the original 150 questions.
• These questions will have negative marking.
