What is BITSAT?
BITSAT is
an examination which determines admission to the Integrated First Degree Program
at the BITS - both at Pilani and Goa Campus. BITSAT is a ‘Computer Based Online
Test’ conducted by Birla Institute of Technology & Science.
Eligibility
For
admission to any of the Integrated First Degree Programs, the candidate should
have passed the 12th examination of the 10+2 system from a recognized Central /
State Board or its equivalent with Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics. Since the
medium of instruction at BITS is English, candidates should have adequate
proficiency in English. Further, the candidate should have obtained a minimum of
aggregate 80% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects in 12th
examination, with at least 60% marks in each of the Physics, Chemistry &
Mathematics subjects.
Students who are appearing for 12th examination this
year are eligible to appear in the BITSAT Test
Students
who have passed the 12th examination last year may also apply for BITSAT Test,
provided they explain the reasons for the gap. The admission committee will
examine all such cases before taking a final decision on their eligibility.
Students who have passed 12th examination in the current year or the previous
year alone are eligible to appear in current BITSAT Test. Students who are
presently studying in BITS at any of its campuses are not eligible to appear in
BITSAT Test.
Admissions
will be made purely on merit. The merit position of the candidate for admission
will be based on the score obtained by the candidate in the BITSAT Test.
However, their eligibility for admission is subject to fulfilling the
requirement of minimum marks in 12th examination, as mentioned above.
Direct Admission to Board Toppers
In the
past, admission process of the Institute always ensured guaranteed admission to
all the students who obtained first ranks in their respective Board
Examinations. This has given a very vital input of highly meritorious students
from all over India. The Institute wants to maintain this practice and hence,
first rank students of all the Central / State Boards in India will be given
direct admission to the program of their choice, irrespective of their BITSAT
Test Score. However, they should have obtained the minimum marks in PCM Subjects
of 12th examination, as described above. For this purpose, the topper should be
from the science stream having taken Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics subjects
in 12th. The aggregate marks should contain the Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics
subjects, in addition to other subjects considered by the Board as required to
pass the 12th examination. Further details about this scheme will be available
at BITS Website.
Syllabus
The BITSAT
Test will be conducted on the basis of NCERT Syllabus for 11th and 12th class.
Candidates may refer to the NCERT Text Books for the contents. A sample test
will be made available to the registered candidates at the BITS Website on which
he/she can practice as many times as desired.
Exam Pattern
‘Computer
Based Online Test’ means the candidate sits in front of a Computer and the
questions are presented on the Computer Monitor and the candidate submits the
answers through the use of key board or mouse. Each Computer is connected to a
Server which prepares the question set and delivers it to the candidate on the
Computer. This is unlike the traditional paper-pencil based test which is
generally offered on a single day to all candidates. BITSAT Test will be offered
over a period of time and the candidate can choose the center, the day and time
of his/her convenience to take the test.
