(b) Logical Reasoning
The test is given to the candidates to judge their power of reasoning spread in verbal and nonverbal areas. The candidates
should be able to think logically so that they perceive the data accurately, understand the relationships correctly, figure out
the missing numbers or words, and to apply rules to new and different contexts. These indicators are measured through
performance on such tasks as detecting missing links, following directions, classifying words, establishing sequences, and
completing analogies.

5. Verbal Reasoning
5.1 Analogy
Analogy means correspondence. In the questions based on analogy, a particular relationship is given and
another similar relationship has to be identified from the alternatives provided.
5.2 Classification
Classification means to assort the items of a given group on the basis of certain common quality they possess
and then spot the odd option out.
5.3 Series Completion
Here series of numbers or letters are given and one is asked to either complete the series or find out the wrong
part in the series.
5.4 Logical Deduction – Reading Passage
Here a brief passage is given and based on the passage the candidate is required to identify the correct or
incorrect logical conclusions.

In this more than one set of figures is given in the form of a matrix, all of them following the same rule. The
candidate is required to follow the rule and identify the missing figure.
6.5 Rule Detection
Here a particular rule is given and it is required to select from the given sets of figures, a set of figures, which
obeys the rule and forms the correct series.

Sir I want to give the BITSAT exam so am I eligible after the 12th board from National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS)

[Shaleen]

Hey buddy the NIOS is a recognised board and BITSAT will definelty accept it.

BITSAT Pattern

BITSAT- will be of total 3-hour duration (without break). The test consists of four parts:

Part I : Physics

Part II : Chemistry

Part III : (a) English Proficiency and (b) Logical Reasoning

Part IV : Mathematics or Biology (For B. Pharm candidates)

All questions are of objective type (multiple choice questions); each question with choice of four answers, only one being correct choice.

Each correct answer fetches 3 marks, while each incorrect answer has a penalty of 1 mark (-1mark).

No marks are awarded for questions not attempted.

You can skip a question, the computer will not allow the to choose more than one option as correct answer.

There will be 150 questions in all.


Eligibility

You should have obtained a minimum of aggregate 75% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects (if he/she has taken Mathematics in BITSAT) or

A minimum of aggregate 75% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects

Only Students who are appearing for 12th examination or who have passed 12th Examination are eligible to appear in the BITSAT-2015 test.
