@Anonymous 1: Arrihant Mock tests are a bit tough....if you spend your time concentrating in the topics which you are weak and the concepts in which you are confused you can easily score above 320

is laptop compulsory in bits.what is the fees structure too including mess and hostels.is it completely residential. or day scholars are permitted too.

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

Please post it in the appropriate sections

Laptop is not compulsory in Bits...but having a computer is desirable
Fee structure can be seen here Click here

Bits is completely residential....Day scholars are allowed only in Pilani campus(that to if your permanent residence is in Pilani)

@Anonymous above laptop question- I havent put tests from any other website or coaching centre....Infact most of those questions were collected from individual students notes during their 11 and 12 class

Would appreciate somthing like this for math. In JEE my math score is coming to only 29, while chem is 77 and phys 76... And math is most imp for bitsat rit? most weightage...

Ya, but jee phys and chem could be solved to a good extent with only thorough knowldge of ncert and some logic... but not math, most of the stuff is above ncert. But is ncert+MTG bitsat explorer enuff prep 4 bitsat(math)? I have just over a month left!!!

Dylan Colaco · 8 months ago

Cuz over 50% aieee math is ncert level sort of...(at least 07& 08 ppr) :)

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

NCERT syllabus is more than enough for AIEEE and BITSAT - but the big question is the number of models and problems you practise....As I always see be thorough with your basic....By heart all basic formulae.....it will really help in the exam :) especially coordinate geometry

You must have solve every model before entering the exam(ideally :) )

Dylan Colaco · 8 months ago

so no need of tangents and chords and all for circles/conics? All dat is not in ncert...(tangents and normals r ok if they involve differentiation, but the other stuff like radical axis and all)

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

First check if the topic is there in the BITSAT syllabus....If it is there then prepare from NCERT book

you said that NCERT syllabus is enuff. but from where should one lookout for probs esp in phy also what kind of brushup is needed for eng and logical reasoning.

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

There are two phases of preparation - Theory and Practice - For theory prefer NCERT books...for practicing problems follow some books like TMH or Arrihant...For Physics one can also opt for HC VERMA both theory and problems....but at the same time see to it that those topics are present in both BITSAT and NCERT syllabus :)

English and Logical reasoning nothing more than what you have learned till your 12 and basic brush up of grammar

sir please tell me which book is sutaible for maths,physics& chemistry for bitsat preparation

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

hello,plz tell me where to practice bits for bits,like sdktechnologies or any mtg explorers??

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

Rapid Chemistry????No idea...best thing is to prepare from NCERT books or books like O.P.Tandon or Arrihant

Try MTG...SDK is also good

SriRam · 8 months ago

hi sir,rapid chemistry is a product of mtg,which i think is squeezed form of ncert....so i got it,there are some short flowcharts...regarding organic reactions..so i asked you,plz can u tell me the book which i can prefer in the last minute preperation for maths??

SriRam · 8 months ago

what are the weighted topics for maths??like differential and others...in chem then to read physical part what are the steps to follow,like lokking all formulae or concentrating more on theory??and also in english time it takes to complete,within 1/2 month??plz reply me it`s urgent

SriRam · 8 months ago

sir for chemistry to prepare perfectly!!approximately it takes for about what time??20 days??

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@Sriram : If you have time study NCERT...but I am not sure if rapid chemistry will help

There is nothing like last moment preparation for any subject...try revising from whatever books you have followed till now....revising formulae and practising basic problems in Maths

Ya for english revise basic grammar

20 days...depends on how much effort you have put in the last 2 years....If you havent studied anything it is impossible to complete chemistry syllabus in 20 days

Jithin Sarma · 8 months ago

Is there any need to prepare for THEORY and PROBLEMS for BITSAT as I'm already going for IIT-JEE coaching.../ should I concentrate more on time management ?

2.
Which book is the best for BITSAT ENGLISH section and also for LOGICAL REASONING ?

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 8 months ago

@Jithin : There are some topics in CHemistry and Maths which are not taught in JEE syllabus...try to complete those topics....Simultaneously revise all the basic formulae and model problems....
If you feel you are confident to take the exam then solve atleast on model paper every day

There is no specific book for english and logical reasoning except for some online resources.....

will i get a descent discipline in iit and is it worth it? and how are the level of Q's in bitsat(compared to jee and aieee) ?
please help me out.

@Anonymous : 225 is decent score to qualify but I am not sure of you getting a good branch in the top IIT's

Anyways when is your BITSAT - if it is in the later half try to complete the extra syllabus practice papers and concentrate on your mistakes

If it is very close (i.e. before May 15) do a revision of chemistry and study new topics only in Chemistry....practice many papers...one per day

SIR,
I AM BASICALLY FROM CBSE.
I HAVE NEAR ABOUT 30 DAYS FOR MY BITS EXAM.


WHAT ALL BOOKS SHOULD I READ, SO AS TO GET A VERY GOOD RANK (NOT JUST CLEAR CUT OFF).

FOR CHEMISTRY SHOULD I JUST READ NCERT OR GO FOR OPTANDON.
EVEN I HAVE SRI CHAITANYA AIEEE MATERIAL (ALL SUBJECTS).

SHOULD I EVEN BUY MTG BITS EXPLORER OR SHOULD I PRACTICE MTG MONTHLY MAGAZINES WHICH I ALREADY HAVE OR JUST KEEP PRACTICING ANY ONLINE PAPERS.

ALSO ADVICE FOR OTHER SUBJECTS (BOOKS & WAY OF PREPARATION).

YOU RECOMMENDED TO REFER CAT MATERIAL FOR ENGLISH, BUT IS IT NOT MUCH ABOVE BITS LEVEL.
PLZ DO GUIDE ME…..

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@Anonymous 1 : Thanks

@Anonymous 2 : Wait bro....don't rush...
Since you are from CBSE you must have already studied from NCERT books....so practice from O.P.Tandon/Arrihant/Any other good chemistry book/Narayana/Chaitanya material

There are some topics in BITSAT Chemistry which are not present in NCERT...prepare these topics from the above books/material

But whatever you do you must complete the syllabus and practice enough problems

10 days before the exam start practicing online papers...till then don't think about solving online papers

Refer CAT material for some basic practice...Anyways we have lots of other online resource to practice BITSAT English...

Try revising grammar and stuff...don't start English from scratch...no point doing that

And for other topics just check the topics in Blog - How to crack Physics and Maths :)

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@Vivek :
a)if it is not in the syllabus it wont come in the exam
b) If I am not wrong you have done all these experiments in your 11 and 12 class...so every experiment is important...you cannot say that experiment 1 is more important for Bitsat than experiment 2...

@aditya: I have no idea about IndiaTimes BITSAT package...So I cannot compare it with Arrihant...As far as I know Arrihant/MTG BITSAT packages are good

And for free I have given a huge list of free BIITSAT Sample Papers...many have found it useful

yes sir ! :P ........ dude cud you give me some advice on how to prepare for organic ? i think i can manage physical because i've studied physical before and also it is sorta conceptual and all .... but organic is like sooooo huge and is like sooo boring ... so for bitsat do we need to study all the mechanisms also or is it good enough if we just memorise the named reactions and stuff ????? - thanks a lot for replying :)

rohit · 7 months ago

all of the topics in the Bitsat syllabus are covered in NCERT but what I was confused about was the depth required .... because there is quite a bit of a difference in the volume of matter provided in books like OP Agarwal or Arihant and ncert textbooks (e.g. you could find many more reactions in organic chem in a book like op tondon(op tondon is probably 10 times the size of ncert) than in ncert) I was planning to stick to ncert but will it be sufficient to score really well (if done thoroughly)?

rohit · 7 months ago

and also ... should one know the detailed mechanism for each reaction in organic chem or is just the basic details of the reaction(reaction equation) enough

would greatly appreciate any help and advice

ARVIND THATIKONDA · 7 months ago

@rohit : I have always said that NCERT books are there for studying the theory part...the things you miss in the theory part are covered while practising for problems....Where NCERT books lay the foundation for the subject i.e. tha bare minimum to study before writing BITSAT your performance also depends on the level of practice..

So in short NCERT is the minimum...Practice problems from the standard books...And based on the time you have judge the level which you want to study

The more you understand a topic the better your performance..so in organic especially try to learn the detailed mechanism...it will help a lot
