BITSAT Exam Analysis: The BITSAT 2025 Session 2 Day 1 Shift 1 exam, held from 9 AM to 12 PM on June 22, is now over. Candidates who appeared for the first shift can now check the paper’s overall difficulty level along with expert reviews and student reactions. The exam was reported to be moderately difficult, with Mathematics being the most time-consuming section, while Chemistry was rated as easier and largely NCERT-based.
Physics included conceptual and numerical problems, and Logical Reasoning was balanced with straightforward questions. English proficiency was generally simple, focusing on grammar and vocabulary. Experts observed that the pattern remained consistent with previous years. Many students shared that efficient time management and mock test practice helped them attempt the full paper confidently within the given time.
The BITSAT 2025 Session 2 exams officially began on June 22, with the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) conducting the entrance test across multiple centres in two daily slots—morning (9 AM–12 PM) and afternoon (2 PM–5 PM). This marks the beginning of a five-day schedule ending June 26. The test is crucial for aspirants aiming for undergraduate admissions at BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses.
Candidates appearing for today’s exam reported smooth entry at most centres, with strict checks on admit cards and valid ID proofs. The paper is conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) format and includes 130 multiple-choice questions spanning Physics, Chemistry, English, Logical Reasoning, and Mathematics/Biology. Each correct answer yields +3 marks, while incorrect responses incur a -1 penalty.

- Physics was rated moderate with a few tricky numerical-based questions.
- Chemistry was NCERT-based, favoring theory-heavy questions.
- Mathematics appeared challenging due to time-consuming problems. Logical reasoning was considered easy to moderate, and
- English was basic.
Expert and Student Reactions
Experts commented that the paper maintained BITSAT’s standard with a slightly higher emphasis on problem-solving in Physics and Maths. Many students found Chemistry easier, and appreciated the clear division of sections.
Student reactions were mostly positive. One candidate said, “Maths was a bit lengthy, but Physics was fair. Chemistry was a breeze if you know NCERT.” Another reported good management of time due to prior mock test practice.
Answer Key & Score Estimation
Memory-based answer keys and question solutions will be released after each shift. Candidates can calculate tentative scores using:
+3 for every correct answer
–1 for every incorrect answer
0 for unanswered
This helps candidates estimate ranks and evaluate the possibility of securing their preferred branch.
Stay tuned for daily analysis, slot-wise reviews, and official results expected shortly after Session 2 concludes.
