BITSAT Exam Pattern 2022

The exam schedule for the year 2022 is shown below. The majority of the time, nothing will change. The candidate must, however, check the official website.

Mode of examination

The test is conducted entirely on a computer. The candidate should use the keyboard and mouse in the respective test centres to answer the questions displayed on the monitor in the Computer-based online test (CBT). The candidate has the option of selecting his or her preferred test centre, date, and session.

About the exam

• Each candidate will receive a different set of questions.

• The questions will be chosen at random from a large database. The difficulty level of all the question sets will be the same.

• English is used as the medium of instruction.

Exam format

• The exam is held for three hours straight with no breaks.

• It is divided into four sections, with a total of 150 questions.

• The questions are of the multiple-choice variety. Among the four options, the candidate must select one that is correct.

• Each question will be worth three points, with a one-point penalty for incorrect answers. There will be no marks awarded if the question is left unanswered.

• The candidate has the option of skipping some questions and answering them later. There is no set time limit for each part.

• When a candidate answers all of the questions without skipping any, he or she will be able to answer 12 additional questions from physics, chemistry, and biology/mathematics; four questions from each section.

• If a candidate prefers to answer extra questions, he or she will be unable to go back and correct an answer during the exam.

• Answering the extra questions will increase your chances of getting a higher score, but incorrect answers will result in negative marks.
