BITSAT 2026 – Syllabus

The BITSAT is one of India’s most competitive engineering entrance exams, opening doors to BITS Pilani, BITS Goa, and BITS Hyderabad. With BITSAT 2026 on the horizon, candidates need to get laser-focused on the syllabus — because this exam doesn’t just test rote memory, it tests speed, accuracy, and conceptual understanding.

The BITSAT 2026 syllabus is based on the NCERT curriculum for Classes 11th and 12th, covering Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (or Biology for B. Pharm candidates), English Proficiency, and Logical Reasoning. No major changes have been reported in the syllabus in recent years.

FAQs

Q1. Is the BITSAT 2026 syllabus the same as JEE Main?

Ans. Broadly yes, especially for Physics, Chemistry, and Math. However, BITSAT 2026 includes two extra sections — Logical Reasoning and English — not present in JEE Main.

Q2. Does a candidate need to study topics outside NCERT for BITSAT 2026?

Ans. Not really. NCERT covers 90–95% of the syllabus. But practicing from additional materials like HC Verma (Physics), OP Tandon (Chemistry), and RD Sharma (Maths) can help strengthen your concepts.

Q3. How is the difficulty level of BITSAT compared to JEE Main?

Ans. BITSAT has slightly easier individual questions than JEE Main, but the sheer volume and time pressure make it more challenging in terms of speed and accuracy.

Q4. Should a candidate prepare differently if they are aiming for B. Pharm instead of B.E.?

Ans. Yes. B. Pharm aspirants take Biology instead of Mathematics. Focus on NCERT Biology and strengthen English and Reasoning skills.

Q5. Are there any changes expected in the BITSAT 2026 syllabus?

Ans. As of now, BITS has not announced any major syllabus changes for 2026. It’s always a good idea to check the official website regularly for updates.
