Ques. Which is better: JEE or BITSAT?

● Top Answer By Tanvi Jaipuriar on 27 Feb 23

Comparing competitive exams or choosing one over the other is a very illogical thing to do. The entire agenda behind a competitive exam is to build your knowledge and test you on the basis of the same. So unless you defer from gaining the right set of knowledge, any competitive exam will bear the same result. I have a very effective technique to tackle this issue. Prepare in such a way that you are appearing for JEE Advanced. This is because the course and structure of Advanced are such that once you are ready to clear that, you can clear every other exam too. This means your focus will not be divided and all you can do is focus on one exam. Keep focusing on the preparation for JEE Advanced and when your BITSAT is around the corner start solving mock tests to improve your speed. Prepare additionally for English and Logical Reasoning questions. BITSAT focuses more on your speed than the clarity of your concepts. So a mere preparation of 3 months before BITSAT is more than enough provided that your concepts are clear from JEE Advanced preparation. So instead of choosing one single exam, prepare for JEE Advanced and target both as the future is unpredictable. ...Read more

Ques. How much should I study to score 350+ in BITSAT?

● Top Answer By Anwita Mukharjee on 24 May 22

350+ in BITSAT is achievable if you are dedicated. You can read NCERT books and 11th and 12th textbooks to clear your concepts. Also, try to solve Arihant BITSAT books completely. To score well in BITSAT, you need to have good speed. Solve as many questions as you can to increase your speed. Aim to solve these questions within a minute. Practice different strategies for solving problems. Take some mocks. You can benefit more by going through your class notes and memorizing formulae rather than buying many BITSAT specific books. ...Read more

Ques. Which date should I chose for the BITSAT: before the JEE (Advanced) or after JEE (Advanced)?

● Top Answer By Saarthak Rai on 01 Feb 21

Many aspirants go through the same conflict. The preference depends on your career priorities and aim. Some points are discussed below which may be helpful in deciding. If you are solely focused on JEE Advanced and have a decent score in JEE Main, then it is better to take the date after JEE Advanced. A good score in JEE Main will give you a backup and you can completely focus on JEE Advanced this way. If you didn’t do well in JEE Main and have lesser hope to score good marks, then you can take BITSAT before JEE Advanced. It is because delaying will increase the pressure. If your priority is BITSAT then it is better to be fully focused on this exam and go for the 3rd or 4th day of the exam. It will give you sufficient time to review the previous paper. If you are not sure about your preference then it will be better to attempt the exam prior to JEE Advance. For most exam aspirants, JEE Advanced is the dream from the beginning and it will be better to end the journey with your initial aim. Thus, you should choose the date as per your priority and comfort. Decide by judging your nervousness, preparation and then give priority to your choice....Read more

● Top Answer By Shubham Gupta on 02 Mar 23

JEE Mains and BITSAT both have similar levels of difficulty in terms of the types of questions they ask. However, JEE Mains questions may be a bit trickier, while BITSAT requires both accuracy and speed. To excel in BITSAT, you should work on improving your speed and accuracy. You may have had the same thoughts about which exam to take, and considering BITSAT.
