Overview

Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT) is an entrance exam conducted by the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, as a gateway for admissions to undergraduate engineering courses (BE) at its 3 campuses located at Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad. Admissions are offered annually to the candidates into BE, B.Pharma and MSc programmes after qualifying for the admission test.
The entrance examination for the year 2025 will be conducted in 2 sessions, separated by a gap of few weeks.

Important Dates

BITSAT 2025 examination will be conducted in the month of May-June by BITS-Pilani in online (CBT). Given below is the BITSAT 2025 exam schedule.

NOTE- The dates mentioned above are tentative and will be confirmed by BITS officially on their website.

Selection Process

The selection of candidates will be based on their performance in the entrance exam. After qualifying in the exam students should register in online counselling sessions by paying the counselling fee. Seats are allotted to candidates based on their rank, preferences and availability. After the seats have been allotted, the documents of the concerned candidates are verified.

Mode of Examination BITSAT 2025 will be an online entrance conducted in CBT mode.

Medium of the Question Paper The BITSAT 2025 will be conducted in English medium only.

Eligibility Criteria

Qualification

Candidates should have passed the 12th examination of 10+2 system from a recognised Central or State board or its equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics obtaining a minimum aggregate of 75% and adequate proficiency in English. The institute also ensures direct admission to first rank students of State and Central boards in India, irrespective of their BITSAT-2025.

Note Students who are appearing for the 12th examination in 2025 or who have passed the 12th Examination in 2024 are only eligible to appear in the BITSAT-2025 test.

Age limit As per BITSAT admission criteria, there is no minimum age limit to apply for BITSAT 2025.

Syllabus & Exam Pattern

Exam Pattern    

Each session of BITSAT-2025 will be comprising the following 4 parts:

Part I Physics

Part II Chemistry

Part III (a) English Proficiency and (b) Logical Reasoning

Part IV Mathematics

All questions are of objective type (multiple choice questions), each question with a 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 (-1 mark). No marks are awarded for questions not attempted. While   the candidate can skip a question, the computer will not allow the candidate to

choose more than one option as the correct answer.

There will be 130 questions in all. The number of questions in each part is as follows:

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 130 questions.

Note If a candidate answers all the 130 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 and Logical Reasoning only, three questions from each of them. Further, once the candidate has opted for extra questions, he/she cannot go back for correction of any of the earlier answered 130 questions.

Duration of Exam

BITSAT 2025 will be held for a 03 hour time duration (without break).
