Paper Pattern

• BITSAT is an online test where candidates are required to face questions on the screen.
• Each candidate gets a different question set as the computer selects random questions from a question bank in the server.
• Each correct answer fetches 3 marks, while every incorrect answer has a penalty of 1 mark (-1 mark).
• No marks are awarded for questions not attempted.
• While the candidate can skip a question, the computer will not allow the candidate to choose more than one option as correct answer.
• There will be 150 questions in all.
