BITSAT is a competitive examination conducted by BITS (Birla Institute of Technology & Science), Pilani. It is a computer-based entrance examination, which is meant for selecting candidates for B.E, M.Sc, and B. Pharm courses.
BITSAT is an easier examination in comparison to that of the JEE Mains in terms of difficulty in association with the questions. But, the number of questions that the students must appear in BITSAT is more than that of the IIT.
If you are willing to get into the field of engineering or Pharmacy through a UG course in any of the colleges of BITS, then clearing this examination is of utmost importance. In this article, you will get an insight into what BITSAT is and how you can prepare yourself to crack the exam.
The candidates are required to pass the 12th class examination from some reputed State or Central board, with Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics as mandatory subjects. You should have proficiency in English. The students who are currently appearing in Class 12 are also eligible for giving this examination.
There is no minimum or maximum age limit for you to apply for the BITSAT examination. However, as of 2023, the students who appeared in the Class 12th examination before 2022 aren’t eligible to appear in this examination.
The minimum marks required from the students to sit for the BITSAT examination include 60% or 6.0/10 CGPA in each of the subjects, including Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics in the above examination.

Here are some of the preparation tips for you to prepare yourself well to crack the BITSAT examination in one go:
You must source the best study materials, either online or offline, by getting in touch with your teachers or tutors. If not, you can also get in touch with any known students who have cracked BITSAT in the past year. Take the help of those reference materials to get a better fundamental understanding of the lessons of various subjects.
Without time management, you are literally going nowhere with your preparation. As there are 6 subjects within the syllabus for your preparation, you need to devote enough time to them all. You cannot feel stuck in one subject while reducing the preparation time for the others. Each subject can give you those qualifying marks, and lagging on any of them can result in your failure. So, be assured you manage your time well to prepare every subject with equal emphasis.
Whenever you get the opportunity, give those mock tests in order to assess your level of preparation. You need to keep in mind that mock tests aren’t for demoralizing you or breaking your confidence. Instead, it is a pre-check of your capabilities, the result of which will enable you to enhance your potential and do better in the main examination. So, do not refrain from taking as many mock tests as possible.
