Every right answer will be given 3 marks, while for each erroneous response, the candidates will be granted -1 which implies that the entrance exam has negative marking. In this manner, candidates must be extremely cautious in picking the appropriate response alternatives. It ought to be a mystery which will be profoundly disadvantageous for them. For unattempt questions, no marks or zero marks will be given.

In the event that candidates can answer every one of the 150 answers within the given 3 hours (without skirting any inquiry), at that point they can attempt an extra 12 questions (four each from Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry just), in any case, they won't have the capacity to roll out any improvements in the 150 questions they have endeavored before.

Candidates must note that the questions in BITSAT paper are arbitrarily chosen from an expansive question bank. Accordingly, candidates will get diverse question sets. A specialist board of trustees guarantees that the inquiry sets are of similar trouble level, content, question compose and so on.

The question paper of BITSAT 2020 is planned in a way that a normal candidate can finish it inside the given 3 hours, while a sharp candidate will get the chance to take an additional 12 questions. This gives deserving applicants the chance to score high.
