ARVIND THATIKONDA · 9 months ago

@ anonymous 1: Ya you can.Even I am from Andhra Pradesh and our state syllabus for Inter 1st year and 2nd year Mathematics is very good.Try to prepare from Narayana or Chaitanya material.it will save a lot of time.

I am a slightly below average student (especially in physics ) can I have any hope of cracking BITSAT if I prepare for 16 hrs per day, for 2 months till the exam. IF YES
PLZ suggest me how to manage

THE WORRIED ABT FUTURE · 9 months ago

hey i am a normal student unluckily a long term candidate still i think i improved a lot lot times better But still a small doubt of acheivement is in my mind;can u help me out of this trouble not by tests and my weakest sub is chemistry i am unable to get it and ppl say it is easiest so plz help me

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 9 months ago

@Anonymous - 16 hrs a day is too much of time to spend with books...It kills your memory power and creativity....Initially concentrate on topics which you are very confident in Physics...prepare all such topics perfectly....then go for the others....Physics is more tricky than lenghty so you must understand the topics perfectly...

@Worried about Future:
It simply shows that you don't want to spend time with chemistry books...The only way to beat this is to keep a schedule where you are going to spend 1 hour on chemistry everyday to study a new topic apart from your daily preparation

what is d avg starting salary for a person qualified from bits. is it higher than iit,nit.which is better nit or bits

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@Anonymous:These are my frank opinions about placements:


Considering the economic recession the placements have taken a major setback in BITS....many options are being considered by Bitsians(not only bitsians all engineering students)

The previous year avg was 4lpa...which was pretty less compared to many IIT's and NIT's(only some)...the placement scenario current year is very bad...Nothing can be speculated about current years average as many are yet to be placed...

But decent number of Bitsians have made it top colleges in US and cleared CAT

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

Cant tell until a decent number of students give a review on how tough BITSAT was.

I am not expecting the cutoff to increase this time for Pilani campus...but Goa and Hyd campus it might increase

Anonymous · 8 months ago

hello sir i am preparing for bitsat seriously now i want to get into pilani at any cost i am studying 5hours a day is it ok or i should start working minimum 1o hrs......plzzz help sir

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@Anonymous: There is no problem if you just study for 5 hours a day if you think you are completing your syllabus at a decent pace and confident that you will be well prepared for the final exam

The 10 hour strategy is just for people who don't have confidence that they can complete the syllabus for Bitsat(or any other engineering exam)

What is also important is what you do with the other 19 hours...Friends...Internet...Television...
Cricket...Football...News...Politics....Career...The choice is obvious

Anonymous · 8 months ago

u hav said in previous posts that 16 or 10 hrs a day is too much for preparing for bits.. but i am a below avg student..if i dont study for so much hours then how will i b able 2 crack bits even if my course is complete..please comment

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@Anonymous 1 : Click here for the papers

@Anonymous 2: That is what I am telling...the amount of time you spend should be such that you complete your syllabus.....The point that you can complete your syllabus itself means you are not a weak student....It is just your attitude that makes you feel you are weak

Anyways if you are able to complete your syllabus you can spend your time practicing as many papers as possible

Anonymous · 8 months ago

what should be the ideal time for completing the syllabus give that i have started preparing for it just a few days ago( i didnt knew about it) but i am ready to work hard to my max limits. and that i am an above avg student but with no coaching.

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@Anoymous : When you solve BITSAT papers and get a good score say 270-330 then your preparation is good :)...
Many students leave some easy topics in which they can score marks without much efforts....to all those guys complete the syllabus

@Anomymous 2: Ideal time would be a week before BITSAT...practicing many papers during that 1 week :)

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

When is your BITSAT...coz based on that one can decide the strategy to study

sunaina · 8 months ago

Hi :)
Btw, I really liked your blog, found it usefull and informative :)
Now I have a slight problem..
Rather conflicting situation but anyway, I'm really keen on going abroad but in case that for some reason doesn't work out, BITS would be at the top of my list..
I have just finished my CBSE-2009 board exams and will be appearing for the BITSAT this may..
And I am not in the least bit confident about it..not even a month left and I've started preparing..
So the most likely case is that I'll be dropping a year, not just because I might not pull it off this time but also because I would like to give admission into a foreign university a chance first( this was a recent decision so I will be sending in applications for the year 2010 anyway)
So what my question is, is there any particular cut off that I would have to cross in the BITSAT this year to be eligible to write it next year..??
For example in the hypothetical situation that I do pathetically( like a 100 or worse ), will they allow me attempt it next year..?
Is there any preferance for candidates applying in the same year as their board exam as against droppers..??
Anyway, thanks :)

sunaina · 8 months ago

In the situation that there is such a system of cut offs(I hope not..!!!!!), would 1 month be enough to prepare to cross those cut offs..??
Considering I get above 80% in my board exams that is..( which I'm pretty sure I will :) )

And yeah, 1 more thing, in the case I stay back next year, I will be going for iitjee coaching..
Is it better doing that or is it better to solely concentrate on BITS stuff cuz the IITJEE syllabus has a whole lotta extra stuff..
But there again, most people who do the iitjee also do the bitsat, so they would obviously be more prepared..or would they..?? :P
And I guess AIEEE coaching wouldn't be enough( teamed with going through BITS papers)..would it..?? I mean for a pretty high score cuz I'd like to do comp or electronics..

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@Sunania : A long but a genuine doubt..So will answer in points :)

1)If you cross 80% in 2009 board exams you can write both BITSAT 2009 and BITSAT 2010 irrespective fo your score in BITSAT 2009

2)There is no preference for direct applying students compared to the droppers

3)With a month of preparation and hoping that you have performed well in your 11 and 12 you can easily get a score of 270+ if you spend your time judiciously

4)A JEE coaching or AIEEE or BITSAT coaching doesnt make any difference...only your determination to study will....If you think JEE coaching is too hectic go for AIEEE or BITSAT coaching :)

5)Most importantly - wasting a year in your life is something which you should avoid....You would find your friends enjoying and you trying to study which is very tough...Most droppers dont get a better rank only becoz they loose interest at the end and stop studying...So try to utilize this one month judiciously and crack BITSAT :)

sunaina · 8 months ago

Oh ok.. that really clears a lot of things for me.. :) And relieves me..!! Thanks a lot for that..!! And yes, I do understand what you're saying and wouldn't like staying back a year, so I'll try my best these next few days to crack it..!! :)
Thanks a ton, that really helped :):)

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@TG : Online examination practice is important to crack BITSAT...if you can afford it do join...Better go for MTG or Arrihant BITSAT material...they offer more practice papers

@monk : Obviously...In my 4 year....last few days....was busy with my farewell yesterday :)

@mani : Concentrate on the topics you have not completed till now...it should really help especially chemistry

@varun : :) Tell your friends

mani · 8 months ago

Thank you. another doubt i had was whether the difficulty of bitsat is comparable to that of aieee in general.Because if it was then wouldnt it be tough to attempt around 130 odd questions when we find it hard to complete the 90 questions in aieee??

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@mani : AIEEE is too lenghty....it is not tricky....BITSAT on the other hand is tricky....It is more theory oriented...Maths may be lengthy but AIEEE Mathematics is tooo long....

mani · 8 months ago

so most questions would be direct application of formula if you can figure out the concept right??? and thanks a lot for the help!!!!

TG · 8 months ago

thanx...but i did MTG and ARIHANT papers last year and infact they misguided me, the level of questions was too easy(compared to bitsat) so i got completely off the track and that thing ruined my bitsat...now i'm thinking of joining TIME online test series they have posted an sample paper on their site time4bitsat.com i think it was matching the bitsat standrd...can u sggst anything?

X4 · 8 months ago

sir is bitsat maths at cbse level or beyond that u have earlier said that problems are tricky are they time consuming ?? or can we get the ans quickly .im asking for an average student . also if i work out mtg bitsat explorer does it cover 100% of bitsat i mean i wil do a-z of the book is it gud enuf then i want eee pilani / goa .

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@mani : Ya kind of....but there are also some lenghty problems....but more tricky and short ones

@TG: Hmmm MTG/Arrihant are very good....You might not be lucky to get a decent paper in BITSAT...it happens...anyways joining any course for BITSAT is simply your choice....I have no idea about time coaching but it should be good

@X4 : Say out of 45 questions 20 are a bit lenghty....25 are short and tricky :)
No check the BITSAT syllabus for more information...do a search in this blog for more info :)

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@yash : Have you seen the article how to crack Mathematics?? If not do check it :)

Try to give one Maths paper everyday and check out what your mistakes are....not down the mistakes and revise topics in which you are consistently making mistakes....

Also try to by heart the basic formula/problems in Mathematics...Everyday one topic 2 hours only by hearting stuff.....you will surely pass with flying colours :)

Hey ,
I didnt do tat well at AIEEE and expecting a score of arnd 165-180 .My BITS test is on 12 May.I wanted to know how i shuld go abot my studies as BITS is the last option I have left and am desperat to get into BITS ......I have'nt bought any books specially for BITS so plz recommend me some good books .
And ,sry this is off topic - what do you think of Manipal as a university .I have cleared their test and confused whether to drop a year and study for AIEEE/IIT/BITS again.So what do you say sir,shuld i just go for Manipal (ECE) or try again another year.
PS: I am pretty confident i can clear AIEEE atleast well next year.
Plz help ,e out.

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@rohit : I think I have answered you question...If you can elaborate our question and be abit more specific you would get a better answer as the below person gets

@samarth : Your AIEEE/JEE performance doesn't matter....only your BITSAT does....practice atleast one online paper every day...dont waste your time on a single question rather try to by heart the standard model's

Don't start any topic from scratch but only revise them...but Chemistry is an exception...you must study new chemistry topics for 1 hour everyday....
Spend extra time on studies these days and try to rectify your mistakes

These 2 weeks of hard work will determine your future for the next 10 years....If you care about your life you will come out with flying colors...

As for Manipal you talk to me after your BITSAT...for now no comments

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@teja : 260 is a good score in AIEEE...dont worry...Just believe in yourself....Your determination will decide your fate

The problem is with our state board chemistry syllabus(I am from Andhra Pradesh)...So spend more time preparing topics from NCERT books....
If you cannot get NCERT books try to prepare from Arrihant / O.P.Tandon or Narayana /Chaitanya AIEEE material...Dont forget to study the extra topics in Chemistry - How to Crack BITSAT Chemistry - Click hereBITSAT race papers are tough...but it is good you write such tests....if you can concentrate on your weakness and improve on it you surely can score above 330

Anyways I scored 309 in BITSAT...I dont remember my individual subject wise marks...It has been 4 years

I joined BITS Pilani - Pilani Campus with a Civil Engineering degree....After my first sem I got transferred to M.Sc.(hons) Biological Science

After my first year I got a dual in computer science and a transfer from M.Sc(hons) Bio to M.Sc.(hons) Mathematics

So finally I am doin M.Sc. Mathematics with B.E.(hons) Computer Science dual

And after my first year i have not opened my books never studied...attended very few classes and enjoying my life :D

BITSAT is a different test...a different day...If you can get your basics right...you will succeed....There are so many guys who got ranks below 500 in AIEEE qualified JEE but screwed up BITSAT for many reasons...

Sir, my IIT as well as EEE went pathetic....
IIT: 56 and EEE: 108... So no chance in them... Sir, please suggest how can I manage to crack BITSAT wid a gud rank!

Are NCERT and K.C. Sinha sufficient for Maths?

My weaknesses:
MATHS: conics,3D,
PHYSICS: rotational dynamics, fluids, SHM
CHEMISTRY: physical esp. thermodynamics n equilibrium.. plz suggest whether NCERT is enough for these!

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@XYZ : I dont know about K.C.Sinha ( does not mean it is a bad book) but NCERT for theory part is more than enough

It is good that you have identified your areas of weakness...after revising them try to take tests only in those topics...it will help a lot

I think NCERT is more than enough for the theory but for the problems and stuff read below

Mathematics go for standard books like TMH/Das Gupta if you can afford it...else revise those topics from the books you follow

Rotational Dynamics is very tricky - I was always confused in that topic...later I realised with some practice and by hearting of basic model problems I could attempt easy to moderate questions...so do that...

Thermodynamics is more of formulae and stuff ...it is not that tough...and SHM is good in HC VERMA/Arrihant

Chemistry NCERT anyday

And for other colleges I am no one to comment until I know your BITSAT score

Hey .... I wrote BITSAT yesterday and i landed up with a score of 320. How good is it ? Actually i ws hoping for more(10 more marks wud do ) . I think anybody who is serious about BITSAT should aim to do some online tests. I did only one pseudo bits admission thing . It really is I think a bit different on the computer.

Hello sir,can you please tell me if the level of questions in bitsat is comparable to this year's aieee? Also can you please suggest from what material to prepare for chemistry and whether hc verma is enough for physics in bitsat?

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@seshu : That is what I have been talking all time...take online tests :)...I have answered your question else where

@ANonymous : Should be easier than AIEEE 2009...And HC VERMA is more than enough...but practice problems also
For chemistry NCERT for theory...Arrihant/O.P.Tandon/Some other good book available in market for practicals

hi ..
m currently at jaypee noida doing ECE(thru aieee 2008), i am appearing for bitsat on 6th june, and college exams are getting over on 20th may. I haven't been able to study properlyfot bits till now and not until 20thmay. I ave a mock test(MTG) but could only manage 285. Do you think i can prepare well in only about 15 days? and also is it worth leaving jaypee noida ECE for Bits pilani..i mean in today's scenario? i personally feel it is.. would like ur comments on it.

dj · 7 months ago

i also wanted to ask that bitsat offers 10 additional questions to the ppl who answer all 150 questions provided they have time left. I wanted to know if those 10 questions are easy to score or not as in is it worth taking that chance of attempting all questions or not

Abhinav · 7 months ago

Hi Sir.. i gave BITSAT today. scored 327. Do u think thts gud enough for a decent branch (mech n above) in Pilani?

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@dj : I cant comment on you leaving Jaypee Noida as I dont know much about colleges in North India ( other than BITS and IITD :) )

But 15 days is a short time to prepare for BITSAT..give it your best shot...i can only say that...

And for that extra 12 questions ( not extra 10) search for the post Extra 12 questions ...you will find your answer

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@Abhinav : Please post it under the current section..... Mostly you should get Mech in Pilani campus

nithin · 7 months ago

i'm gettin 140 in jee n 210 in aieee.pls say whether it would be more useful doin arihant or concentratin on weaknesses.
And is it necessay that i should complete the syllabus.i thot i would leave out practical organic chem,gaseous state, atomi structure.
i'm cbse,so quite familiar with ncert chem and brilliant tutorial notes.but u recommened books like tandon,is it necessary & is there time.my exam is on 27th

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@nithin : please follow the notes you have...Why do you want to spend your time studying a different book

I have always told you to use the regularly used books apart from the NCERT text book....your brilliant material is more than enough for BITSAT preparation but see to it that you study only according to the BITSAT syllabus and complete your syllabus

Concentrating on completing and revising your syllabus for now...from 18 May start practising online test one per day...and try to find to correct your mistakes

Dont write more than one test everyday...it is useless....instead try to study the extra topics everyday for atleast 1-2 hours

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@Anonymous : May be mech...cant say...border case according to last year cutoffs

Hyd is a good college...will develop into one of the best in Andhra Pradesh but it will take some time...Goa on other hand has already shown its mark...it is a very good cllege

I am an average student from AP board....i have been preparing from mtg series for bitsat...in inorganic and organic chemistry will the questions come from mtg??...and if i cross 300 in these mtg tests..will i be able to cross 300 in the main xam??

nithin · 7 months ago

hey bhaiyya,

in chem,am i expected to know stuff like
(why transition metals form large no of complex compds,exact ans is,vacant d-orbital,high ionic charges,smaller size of metal ions}
these r things which we studied for boards

my friend got 234,he says in chem,qs were theoretical,not involvin problems

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@tejaswi : Inorganic and organic questions are bit tough..dont worry practising fom MTG will help....Dont expect any direct questions but similar questions...You need to score 330-350+ in MTG tests...it will help to improve your confidence..dont worry..Even I was
like you 4 years ago...sheer determination helped me to cross 300 in BITSAT

All the best

dimpy singh

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@Dimpy Singh : revise all the forumals and model problems....practice one test per day and try to correct your mistakes...by heart any memory based question you come across in the mock tests...remember that if you aim for 270 you will never cross it...always aim for a higher score 320+ and attempt the paper to score 320 + ...you will end up with your correct score

Hi!

First of all - I feel I should have taken BITSAT more seriously earlier and started working for it because this site makes it appear darn easy to crack **and I hope it is**..

Well, my problem is that I have my BITSAT on 8th of June 2009. Apart from revising formulae and other things, what must be done? As in... I was going through this BITSAT explorer book by MTG, it has got a lot to be done. But if anyway I manage to finish it, as in, finish is well, does that assure that I will score properly? **considering I am completely banking on this exam**

Also, is it possible for me to start working now and still be able to crack it? I am still confused.

I read Sunaina's comment and I have the same dicey situation about planning to go abroad and such like stuff. So I need help. thanks a lot
:)

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@Anonymous : Try to complete your syllabus...try to read those extra topics in chemistry ...try to by heart the problems...take one test per day and spend enough time on the solutions i.e. try to correct your mistakes

You have ten more days and if you have studied properly previously you will surely get a good score in BITSAT if you spend these 10 days effectively

I’m a CBSE Science Stream XII standard student. Along with JEE I also plan to prepare for either AIEEE /BITSAT. Which of (NIT‘s/ BITS, Pilani-Goa-Dubai) is a better option for me provided I’m planning to do Research in Energy related courses [Pure Science / Engineering].

Jithin Sarma · 7 months ago

Please suggest the best book / books [with CD / without CD] available in the market for perfect BITSAT preparation.

hi sir..

how shold be my prepn plan if i want to score 420+ in bitsat

i have my bitsat on june 5th.

please reply

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@jithin : A dual would satisfy both your needs at BITS...anyways for energy related things both the degrees are eseential....what changes is the exact research you do

@June 5 : Complete your syllabus...by heart all the basic formula and model problems...practice many online tests

Anonymous · 6 months ago

I am going to fill the admission form. If I write two or three choices, the third choice is allotted, but I don't want to take it, rather wait for the next rounds for the first choice what to do? Not accepting the allotted choice-would it cancel my candidature? Or should I accept pay and wait? Pl tell the procedure

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 6 months ago

@Anonymous : Wrong post but genuine doubt so replying.....It is not compulsory to fill all the degrees in the preference form...If you are not interested in some degree why put it in the preference form...

Anyways once you get some degree in any iteration you must pay the fees...else you will not be considered for further iteration

how to clear bitsat easily.Is there any important concepts which usually occurs.plz provide me more information on BITS-2010

Professor Chaos · 4 weeks ago

Hi Alok,
You need to complete your syllabus..There are no specific important topics as your paper comes from a random set of question bank. You can check the posts on How to crack Physics, Maths and Chemistry for additional topics which need some extra reading for BITSAT
