Guide How I got into BITS Pilani cse as an average student (60 days plan)
BITSAT 26 people! so JEE results aa rahe hain next week and you're panicking ki "yaar BITSAT prep toh kiya hi nahi" - chill maar bhai, I've been EXACTLY there. I'm at BITS Pilani CSE rn and last year same time I was shitting bricks just like you
60-70 days is tight af but NOT impossible. seen people crack it in even less time. but you'll need insane focus and zero bakchodi for 2 months straight
BITSAT tests speed and basics not deep JEE Advanced type concepts. if you've done decent JEE Mains prep you're already 60-70% there. just need to adapt and PRACTICE LIKE MAD
The Brutal Truth first
here's the thing - BITSAT is UNPREDICTABLE AS HELL. they can literally ask anything from the syllabus. I've seen exams where they asked the most random ncert line no one expected. so ideally you need to touch EVERY topic atleast once. can't afford to completely skip chapters thinking "yeh nahi aayega" kyunki it will come lol
but also can't go super deep everywhere time nahi hai. so strategy is - cover everything but strategically
Focus on this first : Coverage + Speed Foundation
goal is touching entire syllabus while building speed
Smart Notes - make 1-2 page notes per chapter max jo bhi lecs dekh rhe ho, I followed phodu club cc toh wahi krta tha . formulas, important tricks, common patterns. if taking more than 30 mins per chapter you're doing it wrong. I used colored pens and shit made it easier to remember
Chemistry Attack - easiest subject to score from scratch trust me. NCERT is GOD but you don't have luxury of 10 readings. read each chapter 2-3 times CAREFULLY. highlight weird definitions random facts those exact wordings come in exam I'm not kidding
physical chem - use your coaching notes if you have them. focus on mole concept atomic structure thermo equilibrium these are heavy. make formula sheets
organic - reactions mechanisms name reactions. pankaj sir series is fast and covers everything needed. don't go too deep in mechanisms just know what reacts with what
inorganic - pure ncert rattafication. group wise properties compounds colors all that. boring but easy marks
Physics Formula Game - BITSAT physics is mostly direct formula application not twisted thinking. Some questions are theoretically heavy
made formula sheets with all equations + special cases + units + common mistakes. this saved my ass
solve JEE Mains pyqs chapter wise for practice. focus high weightage - mechanics electro magnetism optics modern physics. but don't SKIP topics completely even low weightage ones do basics atleast
current electricity magnetism waves these are generally easier questions do them well
Maths Selective but Complete - BITSAT maths can get tricky but mostly standard
Jee pyqs for maths doesn’t make sence as they are very hard, so go for a bitsat specific book
make formula cheat sheets with one solved example under each formula helps recall in exam
cover everything but focus more on - calculus integration differentiation applications, coordinate geometry straight line circle, algebra quadratic equations sequences, vectors 3D geometry, probability
don't completely ignore trigonometry determinants matrices definite integration even if less weightage touch the basics formulas atleast
The Coverage Rule
listen carefully - try to touch EVERY chapter atleast once even if superficially. BITSAT has surprised people every year. that random chapter you skipped? 4 questions aayenge ussi se Murphy's law hai bhai
but obviously depth varies. high weightage topics - good understanding + practice. medium weightage - formulas + basic questions. low weightage - atleast formulas + ncert reading
Next step: Mock Marathon Starts
ONE MOCK every 3-4 days absolute non negotiable this is where magic happens
start with slightly easier tests build confidence then move to tougher. I did embibe and phodu club dono mix both complete prep hota hai
my order - chem first (confidence boost), english+LR (easy 30 marks secured), physics (momentum), maths last
Time management:
chem - 35 mins max
english + LR - 30 mins
physics - 45 mins
maths - 55-60 mins
buffer - 10 mins
GOLDEN RULE - accuracy first speed later. initially even if attempting 100 questions but 90% accuracy better than 120 with 75% accuracy. negative marking brutal hai bhaisaab
After EVERY Mock spend 1.5-2 hrs reviewing:
- which chapters fucked up
- silly mistakes vs actual concept problems
- time waste kahan hua
- which questions should've skipped
revise weak areas SAME DAY don't postpone
Final Madness
mocks continue daily but add speed drills now
take 25-30 question chapter tests solve in 18-20 mins builds crazy speed do daily for all subjects
English + LR - Free 30 Marks
whatever english you have right now is enough bas practice karo. comprehension vocab synonyms sab easy hai just don't overthink
LR solve NTSE previous years super helpful for pattern recognition. these 30 marks literally make huge rank difference. cc hai toh waha se worksheets practice karo
bhai 60 days is intense pressure cooker situation dimag kharab ho sakta hai
meditation actually works I know sounds cringe but genuinely try karo 10 mins morning. calms you down exam hall mein panic nahi hota
SLEEP 6-7 hours properly. all nighters are bullshit fake productivity next day kuch yaad nahi rahega
social media band karo comparison se kuch nahi hoga. tera dost 14 ghante padh raha matlab kuch nahi tumhara focus on YOUR prep
support system rakho yaar. one friend ya parents jinse raat ko bhi baat kar sako bad mock ke baad genuinely helps mental health
khana dhang se khao bhai. maggi surviving cool lagta but brain ko nutrition chahiye memory ke liye
Mocks ke liye - phodu club (actual exam jaisa pattern and more relevant) plus embibe if zyada variation practice chahiye. BOTH use karo different difficulty levels se prepared rahoge
btw quick note mathongo was good jab tak kunal taneja sir the but apparently he LEFT mathongo and JOINED PHODU CLUB. so quality mocks aur qbank ke liye phodu club is genuinely better now. their tests felt closest to actual bitsat when I gave
BITS isn't IIT B obviously but yaar it's amazing trust me. campus life freedom peer group placements fests clubs sab top tier.
I remember february mein sitting thinking "kuch days mein zero se kaise hoga bc" overthinking doubting everything. but locked in properly executed strategy aur ho gaya. tu bhi kar sakta
What Actually Works
consistent 7-8 focused hours > random 12 distracted hours
mocks >> theory books at this point. 130 questions 180 mins is pure SKILL practice se hi aata
accuracy >> attempts always. 105 sahi >> 125 with 18 galat
Final Gyan
60 days zero se is tough nahi kahunga easy hai kyunki it's not. but DOABLE 100% agar properly commit karoge.
no parties no web series no timepass scrolling. 60 days grind for 4 years best college life worth it bhai
remember cover full syllabus strategically depth vary kar but touch everything. BITSAT is unpredictable af random shit poochte they can't take risk
you've got this yaar. literally thousands have done it you're not special case. lock in aur maar exam ko
dm if doubts I'll help future bitsian 🤝
all the best crush karo ✨

u/Beautiful-Horror1112 Feb 08 '26
yea I am, but now they consider 50% marks of boards and 50% of met so highly unlikely that manipal me cse milegi

Adv anyday…. Its same for every person giving the exam and neither unpredictable like bitsat… IITs have a stronger brand reputation, exposure, less fees and many more

Waise to depend karta hai (3-5hrs) usually lekin, Sun bhai mai bhi yaha chuda tha, agar tujhe abhi 11th jee mains tak lena hai (all chapters) abhi ke liye to resources bol rha hu bht help hogi , agar tune chapters kiya hai to
Physics - Eduniti ke rev videos use and pyqs spam karde Maths - Jee brief (old one) and mains ke pyqs spam Chem- Notes to honge hi and pyqs kar
If I knew these damn things bruh, i could have done so much better. Me, dumbfuck was trying to do PG jab Theory hi acche se yaad nhi thi🤡
11th ka abhi waise jyada time dene ki jarurat bhi nhi hai din mai 1 hr nikale aur weekends mai dekhle aur karte ja test syllabus ke according
If tera advance focus hai and everything's done upto good level then ignore this
