Students who will be taking or have taken the 12th examination are eligible to take the BITSAT-2021 test.

Admission will be granted solely on the basis of merit. The merit list will be determined by the candidate’s BITSAT-2021 score. However, their admission is conditional on meeting the above-mentioned minimum mark requirement in the 12th grade.

Direct Admission: First-year students from all central and state boards in India will be admitted directly to the programme of their choice, regardless of their BITSAT score.

Exam Pattern for the BITSAT

  • BITSAT is an online computer-based test.
  • The test will take three hours to complete.
  • It will be divided into four sections:
  • Part One: Physics
  • Chemistry (Part II)
  • English and Logical Reasoning (Part III)
  • Part IV – Biology or Mathematics
  • There will be 150 MCQs in total.
  • Each correct answer will be worth three points.
  • For each incorrect answer, a -1 will be deducted.

Note: If two candidates have the same score, the following criteria will be used as a tie-breaker:

  • The scores obtained in Mathematics/Biology (For B.Pharm) in BITSAT will be given first priority in separating them.
  • If the tie still exists, their BITSAT Physics scores will be used to separate them.
  • The remaining tie is broken using Chemistry scores.
  • Finally, their total PCM/PCB (for B.Pharm) marks in the 12th examination will be considered for separation.
