BITSAT Syllabus
The BITSAT syllabus is based on the NCERT curriculum for classes 11 and 12. The test is divided into four parts, covering Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology, and English with Logical Reasoning.
The exam tests your knowledge across four distinct parts. Part I is Physics, Part II is Chemistry, and Part III is Mathematics for engineering aspirants or Biology for pharmacy aspirants. Part IV is unique to BITSAT and covers English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning. While the science syllabus is similar to other engineering entrances, the inclusion of Part IV requires dedicated preparation for language and reasoning skills.
Part I: Physics
- Heat & Thermodynamics Covers thermodynamic processes, laws of thermodynamics, and heat transfer.
- Mechanics Includes kinematics, Newton's laws, work, energy, power, and rotational motion.
- Electricity & Magnetism Topics range from electrostatics and current electricity to magnetic effects of current.
- Optics Focuses on wave optics, interference, diffraction, and polarization.
- Modern Physics Covers atomic structure, nuclear physics, and the photoelectric effect.
Part II: Chemistry
- Physical Chemistry Includes atomic structure, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and equilibrium.
- Inorganic Chemistry Focuses on chemical bonding, periodicity, and properties of s, p, d, and f-block elements.
- Organic Chemistry Covers hydrocarbons, stereochemistry, and organic compounds containing halogens and oxygen.
- Biomolecules & Polymers Questions on the structure and function of carbohydrates, proteins, and polymers.
Part IV: English & Logical Reasoning
- Vocabulary Tests knowledge of synonyms, antonyms, analogies, and one-word substitutions.
- Grammar Focuses on error detection, sentence correction, and arrangement of jumbled sentences.
- Reading Comprehension Assesses ability to understand and interpret information from given passages.
- Verbal Reasoning Includes questions on analogy, classification, and logical deduction.
- Non-verbal Reasoning Covers pattern completion, figure formation, and analysis of visual information.
