3. English Proficiency & Logical Reasoning
This section is unique to BITSAT and tests communication and analytical depth.
- English: Grammar (Tenses, Voice, Modals), Vocabulary (Synonyms, Antonyms, Phrasal Verbs), Reading Comprehension, and Composition (Rearrangement).
- Logical Reasoning: Verbal Reasoning (Analogy, Series Completion, Chart Logic) and Non-verbal Reasoning (Pattern Perception, Figure Matrix, Paper Cutting).
4. Mathematics
For those seeking admission to B.E. programs, the Math section is crucial.
| Category | Topics |
|---|---|
| Algebra | Complex Numbers, Quadratic Equations, Progressions, Determinants, and Matrices. |
| Trigonometry | Identities, Inverse Trigonometric Functions, and Equations. |
| Calculus | Limits & Continuity, Differentiation, Integration (Definite & Indefinite), and Differential Equations. |
| Geometry | 2D/3D Coordinate Geometry, Vectors, and Conic Sections. |
| Statistics & LR | Probability, Measures of Dispersion, and Linear Programming. |
Important Preparation Notes
- NCERT Foundation: The syllabus is largely based on NCERT curriculum for Class 11 and 12.
- Negative Marking: BITSAT follows a marking scheme where incorrect answers result in negative marks.
- Bonus Questions: Candidates who complete all 130 questions within the time limit can attempt 12 extra bonus questions.
