3. Details of BITSAT-2025: 
‘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 answers the questions on the computer by using 
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. Salient features of BITSAT-2025 are given below: 
• A candidate may appear a maximum of two times in BITSAT-2025. 
• The examination will be organized in two sets of dates, BITSAT Session-1 and BITSAT Session-2, 
separated by a gap of a few weeks. The candidate can choose the Center, the Day, and slot of his/her 
convenience to take the test, as described later in this document. 
• A candidate may opt to appear twice, even at the time of the first application. Such a candidate will then 
choose one slot from the first set of dates and another from the second. 
• A candidate may opt for ‘Session-1’ or ‘BOTH’. 
• A candidate may also choose to appear the second time after the first appearance. To facilitate this 
process, there will be a period during which candidates who have appeared during Session-1 but had 
not originally exercised the option to appear twice, will be allowed to apply to appear a second time. 
• Those who did not apply/appear in Session-1 can also apply to appear in Session-2 during the second 
application window as mentioned in ‘Important dates and deadlines’ below. 
• The application window will reopen for Session-2 after the first date of Session-1 of BITSAT. 
• A candidate who chooses to appear twice will have to pay a sum of Rs. 5500 (for a male candidate) and 
Rs. 4500 (for a female candidate), Rs. 4500 (for a transgender candidate). 
• A candidate who opts to appear once (Session-1 or Session-2), will pay a fee of Rs. 3500 (for a male 
candidate) Rs. 3000 (for a female candidate), and Rs. 3000 (for a transgender candidate). 
• If a candidate who opts to appear to Session-1 only, chooses then to apply separately to appear a second 
time (Session-2), then such candidate will have to pay an additional sum of Rs. 2000 (for a male 
candidate), Rs. 1500 (for a female candidate), and Rs. 1500 (for a transgender candidate). 
• If a candidate chooses Dubai as a test center for either Session-1 or Session-2, then the application fee 
for male/female/transgender candidates will be Rs. 7150 (in INR). However, if the candidate wants to 
appear for both the sessions then the prescribed fee will be Rs. 9150. If a candidate who originally opts

3. Details of BITSAT-2025: 
‘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 answers the questions on the computer by using 
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. Salient features of BITSAT-2025 are given below: 
• A candidate may appear a maximum of two times in BITSAT-2025. 
• The examination will be organized in two sets of dates, BITSAT Session-1 and BITSAT Session-2, 
separated by a gap of a few weeks. The candidate can choose the Center, the Day, and slot of his/her 
convenience to take the test, as described later in this document. 
• A candidate may opt to appear twice, even at the time of the first application. Such a candidate will then 
choose one slot from the first set of dates and another from the second. 
• A candidate may opt for ‘Session-1’ or ‘BOTH’. 
• A candidate may also choose to appear the second time after the first appearance. To facilitate this 
process, there will be a period during which candidates who have appeared during Session-1 but had 
not originally exercised the option to appear twice, will be allowed to apply to appear a second time. 
• Those who did not apply/appear in Session-1 can also apply to appear in Session-2 during the second 
application window as mentioned in ‘Important dates and deadlines’ below. 
• The application window will reopen for Session-2 after the first date of Session-1 of BITSAT. 
• A candidate who chooses to appear twice will have to pay a sum of Rs. 5500 (for a male candidate) and 
Rs. 4500 (for a female candidate), Rs. 4500 (for a transgender candidate). 
• A candidate who opts to appear once (Session-1 or Session-2), will pay a fee of Rs. 3500 (for a male 
candidate) Rs. 3000 (for a female candidate), and Rs. 3000 (for a transgender candidate). 
• If a candidate who opts to appear to Session-1 only, chooses then to apply separately to appear a second 
time (Session-2), then such candidate will have to pay an additional sum of Rs. 2000 (for a male 
candidate), Rs. 1500 (for a female candidate), and Rs. 1500 (for a transgender candidate). 
• If a candidate chooses Dubai as a test center for either Session-1 or Session-2, then the application fee 
for male/female/transgender candidates will be Rs. 7150 (in INR). However, if the candidate wants to 
appear for both the sessions then the prescribed fee will be Rs. 9150. If a candidate who originally opts 
to appear once (Session-1) at Dubai Center and then apply to appear a second time (Session-2), then 
such candidate will have to pay an additional sum of Rs. 2000 (in INR). 
• The application fee is non-refundable and non-transferrable. 
• For a candidate who has appeared twice in BITSAT-2025, and then seeks admission to any of the First 
Degree programmes in BITS Pilani, the higher of the two scores will be considered for admission.

BITSAT-2025 Test Format: 
Each session of BITSAT-2025 will be of 3 hours duration (without break), comprising the following 4 parts: 
Part I: Physics 
Part II: Chemistry 
Part III: (a) English Proficiency and (b) Logical Reasoning 
Part IV: Mathematics or Biology (For B.Pharm. candidates) 
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). No marks are awarded for questions not 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: 
 
Part Subject No of Questions 
Part I Physics 30 
Part II Chemistry 30 
Part III 
(a) English Proficiency 10 
(b) Logical Reasoning 20 
Part IV Mathematics/Biology (For B. Pharm) 40 
 
Total 130 
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. 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
