Is the Official Syllabus Out on the Website?

The official syllabus for 2025 academic year is not out yet. Along with the information brochure, the authority will publish the syllabus around January.

Will the Deleted Syllabus of the NCERT come in the BITSAT 2025?

Ans- The chances are high but it depends on the question pattern of JEE. If JEE does not ask questions from deleted chapters then BITSAT will do the same. However, it is unpredictable .

What are Extra Topics Which I need to Focus on for the BITSAT Which Are Not in the Syllabus of the JEE?

Ans- This Answer will help you with previous questions too. Here we are going to mention some chapter’s names which are important for BITSAT but not in the syllabus of JEE.

From Mathematics:

  1. Exponential and Logarithmic Series
  2. Linear Programming

From Physics:

  1. Poisson’s Ratio
  2. Universe and Solar System

Chemistry:

  1. Amorphous Solids
  2. Bragg’s Equation

Before We proceed with the syllabus it’s important to check the weightage of total marks in the Exam.

BITSAT Preparation Strategy

What Should Be Your Preparation Strategy?

If you start your preparation now, you will get 10-11 months for your preparation. So, use your time wisely. It is advisable not to pick up any random exam-centred book from the get-go. Instead, start your preparation with basics. To prepare well, break your schedule in a 5-5-1 format.

Initial Stage (5 Months)

In this stage, you will have to focus on the basic parts. As Mathematics has the most weightage on the syllabus, our suggestion is to pick Mathematics first.

  • For Mathematics, try to solve every chapter from your NCERT textbooks.
  • Note down all the basic formulas and their application.
  • However, you must remember that besides Mathematics, you will have to prepare for other subjects as well. So 3-4 hours daily is enough for one subject.
  • After being familiarised with all the basic rules, you can pick advanced maths. For advanced maths, you can pick the books mentioned above.
  • For Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English and Reasoning you will have to follow the same method.

Advanced Stage (Next 5 Months)

  • At this stage your focus should be on the quantity. It means. you will have to keep track of your time limit.
  • Summarise the concept and highlight the special problems
  • Pick any random chapters for revision. In this stage you will have to solve practice papers as well.

Final Stage (Last One Month)

At this stage you can not start any new chapter, just revise from the short notes, practice papers and give as much mock as you can.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Ques. Can someone who could not crack the JEE MAINS crack BITSAT and get into BITS?

Ans. Yes, you can. With proper strategy and the right guidance, you can crack BITSAT. There are a lot of students who could not rank well in JEE Mains but cracked BITSAT with the same preparation. Just focus on the basic part and keep practising.

Ques. What should be my strategy for cracking the BITSAT in around 10 months?

Ans. Just Follow the detailed road map of preparation that we have mentioned above. Keep your strategy simple and focus on building the concept first.
