I got 90 in physics, 93 in chemistry but 57 in maths, am I eligible for bitsat exam

Shilu Singha 27th May, 2024

Hello!

The minimum marks required in class 12 examination for BITSAT is aggregate 75% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics subjects (if the student has taken Mathematics in BITSAT) or the same in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology subjects (if the student has taken Biology in BITSAT). In addition, the student must also score at least 60% marks in each of the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/ Biology subjects.

Since, you have scored only 57 marks in Mathematics, you are not eligible for this exam.

Please visit the website by clicking on the link given below for more information:

can I write nios a year after passing 12th and is it acceptable for jee and BITSAT

Nitin Kumar 23rd May, 2024

Yes, you can write the NIOS exam a year after passing 12th standard. There is no restriction on appearing for NIOS based on the gap since your previous 12th board exams.  NIOS qualification is perfectly acceptable for JEE Mains. You just need to meet the eligibility criteria, which includes passing 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. JEE Mains considers the year of your first attempt at 12th board exams (NIOS or any other board) to determine eligibility. You can only appear for JEE Mains for three consecutive years after that first attempt year.

Similar to JEE Mains, BITSAT also accepts NIOS qualifications. BITSAT eligibility is based on the year you passed or appeared for your 12th board exams (current year and previous year). So, you can appear for BITSAT the year you take the NIOS exam and the following year as well.

I hope it helps!

I got 41 percentile in jee mains session 1. If i will start my preparation now onwards for BITSAT can I get or should I prepare again for JEE main.

Devyani Prakash 20th Feb, 2024

Hello student,

I would suggest that you start upgrading your preparation for JEE Main second session. BITSAT questions are easier than JEE Main and require recollection of the appropriate formulae. The questions asked in JEE Main are more conceptual and require deep knowledge of concepts and techniques. So, a student preparing for JEE Main can easily appear for the BITSAT exam as well. The major difference in the syllabus of the two exams is the presence of English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning in the BITSAT.

What you can do is, alongwith JEE Preparation, you can also start preparing for Eng. and logical reasoning. That ways, you’d be easily able to cover both the exams.

While JEE Main is for admission in government engineering colleges, central and also for several states. BITSAT is only for the various campuses of one of the private colleges in India. So JEE definitely opens up more options.

If you want to check your rank range based on your percentile, then you can refer to the Careers360 JEE Main Rank Predictor: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-rank-predictor?

If you need more information regarding which colleges you would be eligible for based on your marks and details, then you can refer to the Careers360 JEE Main College Predictor: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor?
