BITSAT 2012 – Test Format and Syllabus

The examination (admission test) will have objective type multiple choice questions (MCQs) only. There will be total 150 questions each with 4 alternatives in BITSAT. The questions are of objective type. 3 marks is given for every correct answer. One mark penalty is for the incorrect answer. If the applicant did not attend any question, there is no mark for that question. There are four parts like Physics (40 Qs), Chemistry (40 Qs), English Proficiency (15 Qs) & Logical Reasoning (10 Qs) and Mathematics (45 Qs). There is no time limit for individual parts of the examination. The aspirant can go back and modify any of their answer 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, and Mathematics 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 in BITSAT 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.
