Scheme of Examination
Top
BITSAT entrance examination is total 3-hour duration (without break). The test consists of four parts:
Part I : Physics
Part II : Chemistry
Part III : (a) English Proficiency and (b) Logical Reasoning
Part IV : Mathematics OR Biology
1. Students who have taken Mathematics and not Biology in 10+2 have to appear for Mathematics in Part IV
2. Students who have taken Biology in 10+2 and not Mathematics have to appear for Biology in Part IV.
3. Students who have taken both Mathematics and Biology in 10+2 can opt for either Mathematics or Biology in Part IV.
4. Candidates who appear in Biology in Part IV will be eligible for
admission to M.Sc. (Hons.) Biological Sciences and B.Pharm. (Hons.)
only.
5 .Candidates who appear in Mathematics in Part IV will be eligible for
admission to any of the Integrated First degree programmes, including
M.Sc.(Hons.) Biological Sciences and B.Pharm.( Hons.).

Scoring and Negative Marking
Top
All questions are of objective type
(multiple choice questions); each question with choice of four answers,
only one being correct choice. Each correct answer fetches 3 marks,
while each incorrect answer has a penalty of 1 mark. No marks are
awarded for not attempted questions. While the candidate can skip a
question, the computer will not allow the candidate to choose more than
one option as correct answer.
There will be 150 questions in all. The number of questions in each part is as follows:
| |

| Part I |

| Part II |

| Part III |

(b) Logical Reasoning |

10 |
| Part IV |

45 |
There is no time limit for individual parts of the test. The candidate
can go back and change any of his/her answers among the 150 questions.
If a candidate answers all the 150 questions (without
skipping any question), the candidate will have an option of attempting
12 (twelve) extra questions, if there is still time left. These extra
questions will be from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics / Biology only;
four questions from each part. Further, once the candidate has opted
for extra questions, he cannot go back for correction of any of the
earlier answered 150 questions.
The questions are so designed that a good student will be
able to answer 150 questions in 180 minutes. The extra questions (a
maximum of 12) will give a chance to highly meritorious candidates to
score higher. However, candidates should keep in mind the fact that
there is negative marking for wrong answers and any attempt to answer
the questions by pure guessing of the answers is not likely to have any
advantage, but may result in a reduction in the total score.
The questions will be selected at random from a large
question bank. Different candidates will get different question sets.
An expert committee will ensure that the question sets are of
comparable difficulty level, content, question type etc. In this
matter, the decision of the expert committee will be final and binding
on the candidate.
All the questions and instructions of the test will be in English only.

Eligibility Criteria
Top
For admission to any of the above Integrated First Degree Programmes, candidates should have passed the 12th
examination of 10+2 system from a recognized Central or State board or its
equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. 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, and Mathematics subjects and should have
adequate proficiency in English.
Students who are appearing
for 12th examination in 2010 or who have passed 12th
Examination in 2009 only are eligible to appear in the BITSAT-2010 test. If a candidate has taken
more than one attempt in 12th class or its equivalent, only his
latest performance is considered, provided this attempt has been for the full
component of subjects/courses prescribed. Students who have passed 12th
examination in 2008 or earlier are NOT eligible to appear in BITSAT-2010.
Students who are presently studying in BITS at any of its campuses are not
eligible to appear in BITSAT-2010
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-2010. 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. First rank students of all
the central and state boards in India
for the year 2010 will be given direct admission to the program of their choice,
irrespective of their BITSAT-2010 score as per the eligibility criteria
mentioned above. Further details about this scheme will be available at BITS
website by 20th May, 2010.
