BITSAT Physics Syllabus 2026 Preparation Tips

The BITSAT physics part is a bit lengthy and complex, yeah. To crack it, focus on conceptual understanding and quick application - that's the key! Make a smart prep strategy to tackle those 30 questions in a limited time, aiming for 25+ marks. Some informative preparation tips have been added below for your reference:

• Master NCERT Books and Their Theory Part

• Focus on covering and preparing the NCERT theory properly. 
• Cover all the definition laws, graphs, and diagrams thoroughly. 
• Do not skip any summary sections, as they can come as questions. 
• Understand the concepts properly rather than cramming them. 
• The NCERT is very important for topics like modern physics, optics, electrostatics, and thermodynamics.

• Focus on Numerical Application

• Avoid spending more time on practicing long derivations.
•  Prioritize formula-based and concept-based problems. 
• Learn to solve problems using direct formulas and shortcuts. 
• Try solving each question within 40-60 seconds.

• Create and Maintain a Formula Notebook

• Create a formula sheet and make notes regularly to revise before the exam day. 
• Maintain a separate notebook for chapter-wise formulas, important definitions, etc. 
• Go through this notebook daily. 

• Practice Speed-Based MCQs Regularly

• Solve topic-wise MCQ questions regularly. 
• Pick MCQ question banks from different books. 
• Avoid subjective problems. 
• Use a timer while practicing MCQs 
• . Focus on improving speed and accuracy.

• Take Topic-Wise and Full-Length Mock Tests

• Take up full-length and chapter-wise mock tests regularly.
• Start with chapter-wise tests, move to unit-wise tests, and then attempt full-length BITSAT mock tests. 
• Analyse your mistakes after every test 

• Prioritize High-Weightage & Scoring Topics

• As per the previous year's trend, some physics chapters are asked more frequently than others topics. 
• If you keep on focusing on those, you will be able to get a good score. 
• Always prioritise the high-weightage topics first. Cover them and then move to the others

The BITSAT 2026 syllabus covers mostly topics from class 11th and 12th NCERT books. Covering high-weightage topics, practicing mock tests regularly, and revising formulas till the day before the exam will help you score good marks. The physics part is 30 marks, consisting of 30 questions. Follow a strategic prep plan to score 25+ marks. Be smart, manage your speed, and revise regularly to crack the BITSAT physics exam.
