BITSAT 2018 exam paper will be based on objective-type multiple choice questions where candidates will be evaluated on the basis of how many answers they give correct.

It will be a three hour duration computer based online engineering entrance exam which will be divided into four sections/parts. Each section will have questions from different subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning as well as Mathematics.

BITSAT question paper will consist of questions in the above mentioned subjects taught to students as part of their Class XII syllabus.

The exam question paper included:

• A total of 150 questions wherein candidates have to select the correct answer from four options.
• For every correct answer candidates will be awarded three marks.
• For every wrong answer one mark will be deducted.

This engineering entrance exam will be divided into four sections. BITSAT 2018 syllabus lists the topics in which aptitude of candidates will be tested. View the detailed syllabus for BITSAT 2018 here. 

There is no section-wise time limit as per the BITSAT 2018 exam pattern. However, candidates have to complete their entrance exam in three hours duration.
