Key points of BITSAT 2024:
- BITSAT is a computer-based test with 130 questions of multiple-choice type.
- The application procedure for BITSAT can be completed online by visiting its official website i.e. bitsadmission.com.

- Candidates willing to take the exam must have passed the 12th class board examination securing at least 60% marks in each subject with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as mandatory subjects.
- In case, a candidate goes on to answer all 130 questions correctly, the candidate will have the option of attempting 12 more questions if there is no paucity of time.
- These additional questions will be taken from Chemistry, Physics, and Biology/Mathematics, with four questions from each section.
- Moreover, after the candidate has selected extra questions, he/she will be unable to return for rectification of any of the previously answered questions.
- A day afterward the exam, candidates will be able to view their results online. Printouts of the scores are also available.

The BITSAT questions will be structured in a manner in which an excellent student will have the ability to respond to 130 questions in a period of 180 minutes. The additional problems will allow highly qualified candidates to score more.
