Exam Summary

Admissions for BITS Pilani for the Integrated First Degree programmes at Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad Campus for the academic year 2022-23 will be made on the basis of a Computer Based Online Test conducted by BITS, Pilani. This test will be referred to as 'BITSAT'. The following table summarises the examination:

BITSAT Test Format:

BITSAT will be of a total 3-hour duration (without break). The test consists of four parts:

All the questions are multiple-choice questions; each question has four possible answers, only one is correct. Each correct answer will bring 3 marks, while each incorrect answer is associated with a penalty of 1 mark (-1 mark). No marks are given for questions that are not attempted. A candidate can skip a question, the computer will not allow the candidate to choose more than one option as the correct answer. There are 150 questions in total. The number of questions in each part is given below:

A candidate may take as much time as one desires for answering a specific question. The candidate may change any of his/her answers among the 150 questions as many times as he/ she wants. 

If a candidate finishes answering all the 150 questions (without skipping any question), if there is still time left, the candidate will be given an option of attempting additional 12 (twelve) questions. These extra questions will be four questions each from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology. Please note that, once the candidate has taken extra questions, he/she is not allowed to go back further for the correction of any of the questions answered earlier.

Study Plan to Maximise Score

Preparation Tips

• Students should thoroughly read the NCERT textbooks. The bulk of applicants overlooks these simple books. The book will assist you in resolving all doubts you may have about the concepts.
• Organising your time:  "Practice Makes Perfect" applies perfectly to BITSAT 2022. solve and practise as many model test papers as you can. 
• In a notebook, jot down all of the relevant formulas. Every day, before going to bed, go over all of the formulae again. Even the most insignificant formulae should not be overlooked. Many of the questions are formula-based. To solve a complex problem, look for shortcuts. You will save time as a result of this.
• English and Logical reasoning are unique to BITSAT. Thus, you should become familiar with the format of the questions. This necessitates a basic understanding of the material and does not require any particular preparation.
• The BITSAT exam paper is less tough than the JEE Main question paper. Concentrate on understanding the topics in all subjects rather than just the exam. You'll be able to pass other exams in addition to the BITSAT in this manner.
• Determine your advantages and disadvantages. Every day, try to enhance your grasp of weaker topics by revising them regularly.
• BITSAT 2022 is a computer-based online test (CBT). During their preparation period, aspirants who are used to the pen-and-paper method should complete a large number of mock tests online.
• Every day, keep aside one hour to read a famous newspaper. Out of the 150 questions in the BITSAT exam, 25 are dedicated to English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning. Neither of these two areas can be prepared to utilise PCM-compatible procedures. Reading a good national English language newspaper on a daily basis will be more beneficial in making the best use of the 25 questions. If you've been a voracious reader from a young age, then this section may come as second nature to you.
• Pay close attention to all of the topics.

Exam-taking Strategy

• Try to take the last slot of the last day. It's a myth that earlier papers are simpler.
• Spending too much effort on tough questions is a waste of time. Skip such questions and move on to the others.
• Make plans to address the issue. Do not attempt the questions blindly
• This is the only exam with the provision of bonus questions. Only if you have completed all 150 questions may you tackle these additional questions. Out of 12 questions, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics will each have four questions. It's a nice idea to go over the 150 answers before moving on to the bonus questions. 
• Once you move on to the bonus questions, you can not go back to those 150 questions you answered already.
• A section of the exam is dedicated to English language skills. Students, on the whole, prefer to overlook this section as they are preoccupied with other crucial courses. Given the competition, performing well in English will help you achieve a high BITSAT 2022 ranking.
• Always keep an eye on the clock. Every 5 to 10 questions, check the timer on the online test and keep up with the pace.

Detailed Study Plan

Here is a last month’s detailed study plan for BITSAT:

1. Spending one month preparing for the BITSAT (about 10 hours each day). One month may be plenty if your basics are clear.
2. Take several mock tests in a row. This will help you identify your strengths and shortcomings. According to experts, if your scores in the mock test are between 350 and 380, you have a strong grip on the majority of the topics. If your score is between 320 and 350, you need to enhance your accuracy to achieve a higher score. It would help if you also tried to keep aside some time to attempt the final 12 questions to enhance your overall score.
3. Solve previous years’ question papers. This will help you understand the exam pattern and the type of questions you are likely to get in your exam. Also, this will help identify the books that you should read instead of reading truckloads of books.
4. Try focusing on English if you are not confident in grammar or vocabulary. Attempt some questions on logical reasoning. Try to attempt the previous 2-3 years’ questions. Questions from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics/Biology are a cakewalk. Revise all the topics once without getting into much depth

Recommended Chapters & Topics

Being one of India’s toughest engineering entrance exams, a candidate has to thoroughly study the syllabus’s scope to a reasonable depth. One cannot afford to leave out any section for a good rank. 

But then always some chapters or some topics can be more important than others for the purpose of the exam.

The Embibe talent team studied the last five years papers, analysed them thoroughly and came out with a list of chapters/topics which should be given a little bit extra weightage than others. They are:

Embibe Success Stories

Through various mock tests, online doubt clearing and direct faculty-student talks, Embibe helps students prepare for BITSAT 2022 exam.

Exam Counselling

Student Counselling

The process of BITSAT counselling 2022 will be completely online. Only candidates who have qualified in BITSAT will be eligible to participate in the counselling. The process of counselling has been explained below:

Choosing a career after 11-12 grade 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.

Parent/Guardian Counselling

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 him manage the stress.

Some parents also come under tension 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.

Exam Talks

Student Talks: Toppers & Revivers

a) Priyam Shah, the BITSAT-2018 topper with 402 out of 450 says

(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 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.

As such, there are many engineering entrance examinations in India conducted by various institutes for such admission. The exams listed below are considered a bit higher standard than the BITSAT 2022 exam. But if a student follows these exams they are expected to do well in BITSAT 2022 better than others. The exams are:

The following state-level engineering entrance exams are considered just similar and comparable to the BITSAT 2022 exam.

The following undergraduate engineering entrance exams in India are conducted by reputed private engineering institutes and are considered good. These exams can also be referred to for the preparation of the BITSAT 2022 exam:

Practical Knowledge/Career Goals

Learning from Real World

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.

Future Skills

Any job in the industry has the following areas: 

• a) Planning
• b) Research and development
• c) Production
• d) Maintenance and support
• e) Quality control
• f) Sales and marketing
• g) Purchase
• h) Inventory management

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

Career Skills

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 to some other subject. 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.

Career Prospects/Which stream to choose?

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 discipline has 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.
