Hello,

Thanks for sharing that—it's totally okay to take a step back and plan for a stronger comeback!

Now, regarding BITSAT eligibility and whether you'd be considered a dropper:

BITSAT Eligibility Rules:

As per the latest BITSAT norms (usually consistent year to year):

1. You are eligible for BITSAT only in the year you passed 12th and the following year.

   So if you:

   1. Pass class 12th in 2025 (as a private candidate) → You can appear for BITSAT in 2025 and 2026 only .

   2. You cannot appear for BITSAT in 2027 , as that would be the second year after your 12th .

What counts as “year of passing”?

It’s the year printed on your final Class 12 marksheet , not your original attempt.

So since you plan to repeat and officially pass in 2025 , your valid BITSAT attempts will be:

• BITSAT 2025

• BITSAT 2026

Dropper status?

• BITS doesn't officially use the term "dropper" in eligibility.

• You’ll be treated as a fresh candidate in 2025 , since your Class 12 pass year will be 2025.

Summary:

• Yes , you can appear for BITSAT in 2025 and 2026.

• No , you won’t be eligible for BITSAT 2027.

• Repeating Class 12 as a private candidate is completely valid for both JEE and BITSAT , as long as you meet age and attempt criteria.

BITS Pilani and BITS Hyderabad do not accept state board marks for direct admission, except for board toppers. Here’s what you need to know:

Admission Criteria for BITS Pilani/Hyderabad

1. BITSAT Exam – You must qualify for BITSAT, the entrance test for admission.

2. Direct Admission for Board Toppers – Only Telangana state board topper gets direct admission, not all high scorers.

Yes, it's definitely a good idea to take the BITSAT exam if you're interested in pursuing a degree at BITS Pilani or its other campuses. BITS Pilani is a prestigious institution known for its high-quality education, research opportunities, and strong campus placements. By writing BITSAT, you open the door to a wide range of engineering and other programs at a top-tier college. Just make sure you're well-prepared, as the exam is competitive but rewarding if you do well.

Yeah, it's definitely a good idea to write BITSAT if you're aiming for a solid engineering college. BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad have a great rep — strong placements, chill campus life, and no reservation system, so it’s all about your performance.

The exam’s a bit different though — it’s fast-paced and includes English and reasoning along with PCM. But if you’re already prepping for JEE or CUET, it’s totally manageable and gives you another great shot.

Hello,

Most colleges, including those accepting JEE Main and BITSAT scores, require a complete marksheet from a single board. Mixing subjects from CBSE and NIOS may not be accepted.

For JEE Main , NTA usually requires candidates to pass five subjects in a recognized board. If NIOS is your main board in 2025, then all five subjects should ideally be from NIOS .

For BITSAT , BITS Pilani requires Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics along with adequate marks in English. They generally expect a single marksheet from one board.

Hope it helps !

Hello there

• The main thing in your preparation is to be perfect in NCERT topics class 11 and 12 where most of the questions are asked from,finish solving book back questions of ncert
• The other topics to be concentrated are Mechanics , Organic Chemistry and calculus which consist of 50% weightage.
• Try attempting 2-3 full length mock test daily which makes you to get to know about the areas you are weak.
• Solve MCQ's in each subject by number of questions of your choice, try solving 1 MCQ withing 1 Minute.
• Do learn Grammar , Vocabulary and Puzzles daily for English and Logical Reasoning part.
  
  Wish you Best Of Luck

To prepare effectively for BITSAT in 2 months, focus on a structured study plan, prioritize key topics, practice with mock tests, and analyze your performance to identify areas for improvement.

BITS Pilani requires candidates to have completed their 12th standard (or equivalent) in a single attempt in the same year with at least 75% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) and at least 60% in each subject individually. Regarding NIOS On-Demand Exam in 2025:

1. BITSAT Eligibility Criteria: BITS accepts NIOS students, but the key condition is that you must have completed 12th in one single attempt in the same year.

2. Your Case: Since you passed 12th in 2023, and if you appear for NIOS in 2025, it would count as a separate attempt and not a fresh 12th completion in one go.

3. Conclusion: You will not be eligible for BITSAT 2025 if you appear for NIOS in 2025, as it won’t be considered a fresh 12th attempt but rather an improvement.

Alternative:

If you wish to appear for BITSAT, you would need to have completed 12th in 2024 or 2025 in a single attempt, which is not possible in your case as you already passed in 2023. You may consider other engineering entrance exams that accept improvement exams for eligibility.

Hello,

Here is an overview :-

• UGEE SUPR Section: The SUPR (Subject Proficiency) section tests conceptual understanding. While BITSAT-style questions (speed and accuracy-based) help, you must also focus on JEE Advanced-level conceptual problems, as UGEE questions are deeper.

• UGEE Hope: An 85 percentile in JEE Main is not ideal, but UGEE focuses on understanding rather than just speed. If you improve problem-solving, logic, and reasoning , you have a good chance.

• Preparation Strategy: Revise JEE concepts thoroughly, solve Olympiad, JEE Advanced, and past UGEE questions for best results.

• Interview Round: UGEE includes an interview. Strengthen your fundamentals and communication for success.

Hope you find it useful !
