BITSAT

The Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT) is a highly competitive, computer-based entrance exam designed for students seeking admission to the prestigious BITS campuses in Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad. It tests candidates on five key areas—Physics, Chemistry, English Proficiency, Logical Reasoning, and Mathematics or Biology—within a rigorous three-hour timeframe. A standout feature of BITSAT is the bonus questions system; if a candidate completes all standard questions before time runs out, they can unlock 12 additional questions to further increase their final score.

For the 2026 session, the BITSAT syllabus is strictly aligned with the NCERT Class 11 and 12 curriculum. Here is the subject-wise breakdown of the key topics you need to focus on:
