Top Exam Pattern

‘Computer Based Online test’ means the candidate sits in front of a computer and the questions are presented on the computer monitor and the candidate submits the answers through the use of keyboard or mouse. Each computer is connected to a server, which prepares the question set and delivers it to the candidate on the computer. This is unlike the traditional paper-pencil based test, which is generally offered on a single day to all candidates. BITSAT will be of total 3-hour duration (without break).
The test consists of four parts.All questions are of objective type (multiple choice questions).There will be 150 questions in all. The number of questions in each part is as follows :

Parts	Subject	No of questions
Part I	Physics	40
Part II	Chemistry	40
Part III	(a) English Proficiency and (b) Logical Reasoning	15 10
Part IV	Mathematics	45
	TOTAL	150

• 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 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.

Further, once the candidate has opted for extra questions, he cannot go back for correction of any of the earlier answered 150 questions.
