BITSAT-2025 Test Format:

Each session of BITSAT-2025 will be of 3 hours duration (without break), comprising the following 4 parts:

• 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).
• Attempting all the questions is NOT mandatory. No marks are awarded for questions un-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.

• 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.
• The questions are so designed that a good student will be able to answer 130 questions in 180 minutes. The extra questions (a maximum of 12) will give a chance to highly meritorious candidates to score higher. However, candidates should keep in mind the fact that there is negative marking for wrong answers and any attempt to answer the questions by pure guessing of the answers is not likely to have any advantage, but may result in a reduction in the total score.
• The questions will be selected at random from a large question bank. Different candidates will get different question sets. An expert committee will ensure that the question sets are of comparable difficulty level, content, question type etc. If a candidate finds any question to be potentially incorrect during the exam, they can bring it to the notice of the invigilator present in the room, immediately. Such reports are duly recorded at the test center. Following the completion of all test sessions, a detailed moderation process is undertaken by our expert panel. During this process, if any question is found to be ambiguous or incorrect, appropriate credit is awarded to all affected candidates, in line with the established guidelines.
• In this matter, the decision of the expert committee will be final and binding on the candidate. All the questions and instructions of the test will be in English only. Candidates should bring a pen for the purpose of rough work, signing etc. A scratch pad for rough work will be provided. Calculators and logarithmic tables are not allowed in the test centers. Candidates are not allowed to bring any other personal belongings such as mobiles.
• Each candidate who registers for BITSAT-2025 will be instructed to download a ‘Hall Ticket’. Candidates with the hall ticket only will be allowed inside the Test centers. All centers are closely monitored for security reasons and candidates’ identity and activities will be recorded using web cameras and/or closed circuit TV cameras fitted in the test centers. Candidate’s finger print and photograph will be taken at the time of the test (BITSAT-2025) and will be matched at the time of admission at particular BITS campus. Anyone violating the rules of the test center will not be allowed to continue with the test and will automatically be disqualified.
