The Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT) is a national-level computer-based entrance exam for admission to integrated first-degree programs (B.E., B.Pharm, and M.Sc.) at BITS campuses in Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad. Known for its high emphasis on speed and accuracy, the exam consists of 130 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 3 hours. It covers five subjects: Physics, Chemistry, English Proficiency, Logical Reasoning, and Mathematics (or Biology for B.Pharm). A unique feature of BITSAT is the bonus section, allowing students who finish all 130 questions to attempt 12 extra questions to boost their score.
