BITSAT-2017 Test Format:

 BITSAT-2017 will be of total 3-hour duration (without break). The test consists of four parts:There will be 150 questions in all.

Part 1 Physics - 40 Questions

Part 2 Chemistry- 40 Questions

Part 3 English Proficiency (15 Questions) and Logical Reasoning (10 Questions)

Part 4 Mathematics/Biology- 45 Questions

There is no time limit for individual parts of the test. The candidate can go back and change any of his/her answers among the 150 questions.

 If a candidate answers all the 150 questions (without skipping any question), the candidate will have an option of attempting 12 (twelve) extra questions, if there is still time left. These extra questions will be from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology only; four questions from each part.

 Further, once the candidate has opted for extra questions, he/she cannot go back for correction of any of the earlier answered 150 questions. The questions are so designed that a good student will be able to answer 150 questions in 180 minutes. The extra questions (a maximum of 12) will give a chance to highly meritorious candidates to score higher. However, candidates should keep in mind the fact that there is negative marking for wrong answers and any attempt to answer the questions by pure guessing of the answers is not likely to have any advantage, but may result in a reduction in the total score.
