BITSAT is one of the most sought after engineering entrances of the country. BITS entrance exam is the only ticket that can give you an entry into the premier institute of Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad. The exam is quite different from other entrances as it is conducted only in online mode. Moreover, unlike other national exams like the IIT JEE, BITSAT not only tests the knowledge of subjects, but it assesses the entire personality of aspirants since it has sections on logical reasoning and English proficiency.
The exam has become all the more challenging considering the mounting competition. With the BITSAT date approaching all too quickly now, the thought of competing with lakhs of candidates starts taking a toll on the life of candidates. It is time for the students to brush up their skills instead of fretting over what and how to study.
We are here to help you in your journey of preparation. We list here certain top dos and don’ts for those preparing for BITSAT so as to help the aspirants in fetching maximum scores:
