BITSAT 2018: Important exam topics to cover!

The Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani is one of the best institutions in India offering technology and engineering programmes as well as other professional courses. BITSAT (BITS Admission Test) is a computer-based admission test conducted by BITS- Pilani for its integrated first-degree programmes offered by all its three campuses – Pilani campus, Goa campus and Hyderabad campus.

Like many other competitive exams, BITSAT is a reiteration of NCERT syllabus of Class 11 and Class 12. So, students are advised to pay special attention to their school studies and refer the NCERT textbooks as their BITSAT Bible.

Students are advised to cover the entire syllabus of BITSAT but we shall help you in getting acquainted with some of the chief chapters which demand extra attention. We consider the different subjects one by one:

Chemistry:

Some of the topics are extremely important and one cannot imagine missing out any of them. The most vital areas which generally fetch good amount of questions include chemical bonding, atomic structure, p-block elements, carboxylic acid & its derivatives, mole concepts etc. Some other topics which are equally important include s-block elements, solid state, general organic chemistry, chemical kinetics, environmental chemistry. Domains like gaseous state, redox reactions, surface chemistry, solutions and polymers should be practices only once you are done with the rest of the syllabus.

The important chapters with their weightage in the exam are tabulated below:

Physics:

The table given below illustrates some of the vital areas which must be practiced thoroughly. Focus on topics like heat and thermodynamics and wave motion. Refer the chapters on vectors, physics of nucleus etc. only if you have extra time with you else you may even skip these chapters.  

Mathematics:

Chapters like ellipse, area, mathematical induction, statistics and inverse trigonometry should be studied only once you are done with all the remaining topics. These areas either don’t fetch any question or fetch nominal number of questions. So, even if you are not able to prepare them, you won’t be at risk. Various important topics have been tabulated in order of their weightage in the exam:

English Proficiency:

English Proficiency test is designed to test the knowledge of basic grammar and vocabulary of the candidates as well as their ability to express themselves in real-life situations. They should also be able to read English fast, comprehend it and write effectively. Some of the vital areas are tabulated below:

Logical Reasoning:

Logical Reasoning test is designed to evaluate the ability of the candidates to use reasoning to solve verbal and non-verbal problems. Candidates should be able to think logically, interpret data correctly, understand relationships, find out missing numbers or words, and apply rules to new and different contexts. Candidates should be able to complete analogies and missing links, follow directions, classify words, and establish sequences. The important topics are:

This list of topics is highly significant in the sense that it reveals the chief areas which you cannot dare to ignore. But, that does not mean that you can completely rely on these topics. Suppose, if a single questions was asked form a particular section in 2013, it is quite possible that it may fetch around 3-4 questions this year. This list is only to give lead your preparation in the right direction.
