BITSAT Test Format
BITSAT 2022 will be a 3-hour long test, and the question paper will contain 130 MCQs. Each multiple-choice question on the BITSAT 2022 question paper will have four options, out of which only one will be correct.
Candidates will be awarded 3 marks for every correct answer and – 1 mark for every incorrect attempt. No candidate will be allowed to mark more than one option as the correct answer, so the candidates are advised to skip the questions they are unsure about.
There is no penalty for unanswered questions. The BITSAT 2022 question paper will be split into four different parts, as given in the table below:
Part | Subject | Number of Questions |
---|---|---|
Part I | Physics | 30 |
Part II | Chemistry | 30 |
Part III | a) English Proficiency | 10 |
b) Logical Reasoning | 20 | |
Part IV | Mathematics/Biology (For B. Pharm) | 40 |
Total | 130 |
Candidates may take as much time as they want for answering a specific question. They can change any of their answers from among the 130 questions as many times as they wish. If a candidate finishes answering all the 130 questions (without skipping any question) and there is still time left, the candidate will be given an option to attempt additional 12 (twelve) questions. These additional questions consist of three questions each from Physics, Chemistry, Logical Reasoning, and Mathematics or Biology.
Please note that once the candidates choose the option to attempt the additional questions, they will not be allowed to go back and make corrections to any of the 130 questions answered earlier.

Based on the marks scored by the candidates in the exam, two different merit lists are prepared: one for all the engineering streams except B. Pharm and the other one for the B. Pharm only. But this merit list is not published nor made available to the individual candidates. (Individual candidates can only download their respective scores obtained from the website.) Individual candidates are required to apply for the stream and institute campus of their choice. The merit list prepared by the institute is thus used to allot a seat as per the candidate’s choice.

Choosing a career after Class 11-12 study is an important step for every student. Students should choose this extremely carefully after analysing their strengths, weaknesses, etc. Generally, students go crazy about it and are vulnerable to making mistakes. It creates mental and physical stress while studying for 11-12 board exams and simultaneously preparing for different competitive exams. It is not easy to handle this pressure and stress.
Parents have to play a very critical role in helping their kids at this important time. They should always create a healthy and comfortable environment for the kid and help them manage the stress.
Some parents get tense along with the students and put additional pressure on the student. Expectations mounting on themselves for their kids. This creates extra mental pressure on the student. The parents should never do that.
Parents of the students aspiring for BITSAT success play a very vital role in the preparation of their kids.
Parents should do the following in order to support their child’s preparation:
a) Parents have to understand the importance and intensity of the exam. Students will get tense on the exam. Students have a challenge of balancing study and preparation of their board-level exam and different entrance exams that they appear in. Hence, the parents have to understand their kids’ capacity to absorb the stress and should always monitor the stress level of their kids.
b) Parents should ensure good food and environment for studying with necessary study materials.
c) Parents should ensure that their kid’s preparation is going on at the optimum level and their academic efficiency is slowly reaching its peak on the exam day.
Priyam Shah, the BITSAT-2018 topper with 402 out of 450
(i) On his BITSAT preparation:
Ans: I was mainly preparing for JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Well, the BITSAT portion is almost the same as that of JEE but the only difference was the Logical Reasoning and English Proficiency part. Apart from these two, the major differentiating factor was the test-taking pattern which could only be practised by taking mock tests. I started practising mock tests after my JEE Main exam. I didn’t have any specific routine for BITS but I always tried to give 1 test every day in a week.
(ii) On how he managed BITSAT along with his board exam and other exams like JEE Main, JEE Advanced, etc.
Ans: I had opted for the last BITSAT date so that I could give enough time for revision. And, therefore, I was able to focus more only on BITSAT after my JEE Advanced concluded.
(iii) On if he has taken any help from any other coaching institute for preparation
Ans: I took coaching for all the entrance examinations from SYNAPSE which actually helped me a lot, not only BITSAT but also for all the other entrance examinations.
(iv) On mock tests and BITSAT sample papers
Ans: After my JEE Main exams, I have only relied on mock tests given by SYNAPSE. Yes of course practising from past papers helps a lot. You get an idea about the actual difficulty level of the paper which helps you in preparing for your exam.
(v) On how he managed the stress
Ans: Fortunately, I was under no such pressure of scoring because of the atmosphere that was maintained by my family as well as coaching classes. But when I would get a little bit tired or bored I would sometimes resort to listening to music, watching television, and playing sports.

Engineering is all about applying theoretical knowledge into practice. Developments in engineering technological areas are happening in every field, in every area of engineering/technology. Engineering was present in the prehistoric era when people learnt how to produce fire by hitting one rock with the other. We are producing fire in different techniques nowadays. Is that the end? No, newer techniques of producing fire will be developed, for sure, through added applications.
If we look at the different engineering disciplines available in the engineering colleges/universities throughout the world, we get a few hundred of them. Every day some new branch of engineering is taking birth from its parent subject. It is ongoing.
Birla Institute of Technology and Science has those subjects which are basic and has high demand, both for Engineering and Basic Science Courses.
Jobs in the industry will provide skills in the following areas:
Different skill sets are needed for each category of job for each discipline of engineering and basic science. At the time of filling the choice of seats for the courses available, it is extremely important that the student explores himself/herself as to his/her alignment towards their existing skillset, whereas some of the specific skill set will be developed as they pass through their institutional syllabus and training.
Skills to be developed by all the engineering students: Coding, Software development, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Autocad, PhotoShop, etc.
Apart from the skills that are mentioned above, in general, all the engineers/basic science profession, irrespective of their discipline and functional area, need the following skills to perform in their work.
Problem-solving | Computer handling | Industry skill |
Pressure/stress management | Teamwork | Creativity |
Punctuality | Communication | Flexibility |
Fulfilment of task/commitment | Budgeting | Leadership |
When a student is preparing and writing for the BITSAT 2022 exam, it is extremely important to explore if they really have an engineering or basic science mind or he/she is writing the exam just for the sake of writing, simply because others are writing. At a later stage, many professionals are not liking their profession and try to switch their career. Hence, when writing the BITSAT 2022 exam, having a mind to accept engineering/basic science as a career is important. All other specific skills to perform the engineering job that he wishes to be in may be developed in due course.
The courses offered by the different campuses of Birla Institute of Technology and Science have their own importance in its area. But, some students and their parents feel some disciplines have better opportunities than others.
Hence, the students and their parents, friends, relatives, and well-wishers should be consulted thoroughly before making their choice for a seat and campus.
We hope the information provided in this article must have answered all the questions related to BITSAT 2022. We wish the best for all the candidates appearing for sessions I and II.
