The difficulty level of Chemistry:
A total of 32 questions in 2019 were claimed to be difficult while 55 questions were claimed to be moderate. Thirty-six questions were simple.
The difficulty level of Biology:
The previous years' papers consisted of a holistic variety of questions being descriptive, straightforward, diagram based along with picture identification questions. Identification, function-based and analytical questions mostly dominated the papers.
The difficulty level of Mathematics:
Mathematics was a moderate section in BITSAT. According to many candidates who sat for this this examination claim only ten questions were difficult to attempt. The majority of the questions came from Application of Derivatives (almost six to seven questions). A total of 26 questions came from Class 11th books.

BITSAT 2021 PREPARATION TIPS:
Physics:
- The candidates must distribute equal time for all the subjects; they should not waste their time reading out of the topics in the syllabus.
- Practising the BITSAT previous years papers will help students understand the difficulty level of questions and important topics.
- The candidates must study from relevant books & not try to read a lot of them. Refer from one or two books, solve sample pacers, make notes etc.
- The marking scheme must be kept in mind while preparing for BITSAT; the candidates should only attempt the questions they know entirely as there is negative marking for incorrect answers.
- Revision is one of the essential aspects, and the students must go through the chapters once they are done and make notes, take sample tests, and go through the previous year's question papers.
Chemistry:
- Chemistry is the most effortless subject in PCM with regards to BITSAT &, consequently, the scoring section.
- NCERT is your best source. Many direct questions are asked from there.
- If you are confident NCERT, you might want to refer to J.D. Lee/ O.P. Tandon for inorganic chemistry & Arihant books for organic chemistry.
- The section will be more theoretical than mathematical. Henceforth, the centre is more natural & inorganic.
- BITSAT prefers questions of the kind where you need to sort the given substances dependent on a specific property. Here many students fail as they get confused between rising and diving orders.
- For both organic & inorganic, practice all reactions collectively. BITSAT shall directly question you on them.
- NCERT may not be sufficient for physical chemistry. You can refer to P. Bahadur & M. S. Chauhan for good issues & clear your ideas.
Biology:
- An important step is to thoroughly go through BITSAT Biology Syllabus & draft a study plan. The syllabus includes a wide variety of topics. Therefore it will not be possible for the candidates to study every topic in detail or the common topics without a proper schedule.
- Candidates must also prepare previous years' BITSAT question papers to familiarise themselves with the types of questions, examination pattern, sections etc.
- Before examining the analytical/ understanding portion of the biology syllabus, the candidates must build their base & their basic concepts of the subjects and no better way for that than to refer to the NCERT books.
- BITSAT 2021 is an online examination. Therefore, practising from many test series & taking a sufficient number of mock tests will help them build their confidence regarding the online exam & know how the process works, focusing on time management & accuracy.
Mathematics:
- Candidates must make a well-structured study schedule & adhere to the same altogether in their preparation. Planning is of of no use if it is not performed correctly. Candidates preparing for BITSAT must remember that compromising their studies will lower their chances of getting a seat on any BITS campus.
- Knowing the latest & updated syllabus is essential. Ensure that you are studying all the topics & sub-topics; no topic must be left uncovered while preparing. While preparing for the maths section, candidates must dedicate sufficient hours to each chapter. Topics like Circles, Calculus & Trigonometry attract many questions.
- Refer to the books recommended by the toppers. The books referred by BITSAT rank holders for the Chemistry, Physics & Mathematics sections help a lot while doing the preparations. Also, thoroughly going through the 11th & 12th NCERT textbooks & other study materials assist may assist you.
- Candidates must know the art to manage the available time more constructively. But make sure that you get sufficient time in between your studies to unwind as well.
- Post studying all the topics & sub-topics in Maths, start revising until all topics & concepts are at your fingertips.
English and Logical Reasoning:
- A crucial BITSAT preparation tip encompasses realizing the exam structure, identical to what topics persist as secured ones, the types of problems asked of & the reflecting technique. It relies on the syllabus & exam structure of BITSAT 2021 that your exam upon which interpretation shall exist.
- A candidate must create a schedule. It does not have to be stringent; nonetheless, maintaining an exam structure shall aid you to possess a piece of more excellent knowledge about the examination. For example, on the off opportunity that a student doesn't retain a plan, they wouldn't possess the ability to correctly determine how much development they have formulated and critically their cogency. On circumstance, a student wouldn't be by any averages recalling the junctures they need to concentrate on & instead spend valuable periods by not surviving eligible to prioritize.
- Students must practice the BITSAT sample papers to check their preparation. The sample papers include similar problems to those examined in the foyer assessment, so one's ability to lecture them remains meaningful on how far-off a candidate's understanding of that subject has progressed.
