BITSAT Exam Pattern 2022- No. of Questions

There will be 130 questions in all. There is no time limit for individual parts of the test. You are free to go back & forth to change any of your answers among the 130 questions.

12 extra questions

If you answer all the 130 questions (without skipping any question), you’ll have an option of attempting 12 extra questions, if there is still time left. These extra questions will be from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics only; four questions from each part. Once you’ve opted for extra questions, you can’t go back for correction of any of the earlier answered 130 questions.

These extra questions are designed so 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, you must remember that there is negative marking for wrong answers and any attempt to answer the questions by guessing 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. Blank sheets for rough work will be provided, if required. Calculators and logarithmic tables are not allowed in the test centres. Candidates are not allowed to bring any other personal belongings such as mobiles.
