Further details about this scheme will be available at BITS website by 20th May, 2009.
3.Details of BITSAT-2009:
‘Computer Based Online test’ means the candidate sits in front of a computer and the questions are presented on the computer monitor and the candidate submits the answers through the use of keyboard or mouse. Each computer is connected to a server, which prepares the question set and delivers it to the candidate on the computer. This is unlike the traditional paper-pencil based test, which is generally offered on a single day to all candidates. BITSAT-2009 will be offered over a period of time and the candidate can choose the center, the day and time of his/her convenience to take the test, as described in the later sections.
BITSAT-2009 Test Format:
BITSAT-2009 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
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.  No marks are awarded for not attempted questions. While the candidate can skip a question, the computer will not allow the candidate to choose more than one option as correct answer.
There will be 150 questions in all. The number of questions in each part is as follows:

There is no time limit for individual parts of the test. The candidate can go back and change any of his/her answers among the 150 questions.
If a candidate answers all the 150 questions (without skipping any question), the candidate will have an option of attempting 12 (twelve) extra questions, if there is still time left. These extra questions will be from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics only; four questions from each part.  Further, once the candidate has opted for extra questions, he cannot go back for correction of any of the earlier answered 150 questions.
The questions are so designed that a good student will be able to answer 150 questions in 180 minutes. The extra questions (a maximum of 12) will give a chance to highly meritorious candidates to score higher. However, candidates should keep in mind the fact that there is negative marking for wrong answers and any attempt to answer the questions by pure guessing of the answers is not likely to have any advantage, but may result in a reduction in the total score.

The questions will be selected at random from a large question bank. Different candidates will get different question sets. An expert committee will ensure that the question sets are of comparable difficulty level, content, question type etc. In this matter, the decision of the expert committee will be final and binding on the candidate.

All the questions and instructions of the test will be in English only.
Each candidate who registers for BITSAT-2009 will be instructed to download a ‘Hall Ticket’. Candidates with the hall ticket only will be allowed inside the test centers. Candidates should bring a pen for the purpose of rough work, signing etc. Blank sheets for rough work will be provided, if required. Calculators and logarithmic tables are not allowed in the test centers. Candidates are not allowed to bring any other personal belongings such as mobiles.
All centers are closely monitored for security and candidates’ identity and activities will be recorded using web cameras and/or closed circuit TV cameras. Anyone violating the rules of the test center will not be allowed to continue with the test and will be automatically disqualified.
Syllabus:
The BITSAT-2009 test will be conducted on the basis of NCERT syllabus for 11th and 12th class. The detailed syllabus is given in the Annexure. Candidates may refer to the NCERT textbooks for the contents. A sample test will be made available to the registered candidates at the BITS website on which he/she can practice as many times as desired.

4.      BITSAT score report:
At the completion of the test, the computer will announce the result to the candidate in terms of number of total correct answers and wrong answers, with the score. The candidate can also check and print his score report at the BITS website after all the tests are completed. No student will be allowed to repeat the test in the same year.
5.      Merit List for Admission:
As explained earlier, a candidate who has appeared in BITSAT-2009 will be eligible for admission only if he/she gets the required minimum marks in the Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects of 12th examination as per the eligibility criteria described already. All candidates who have appeared in BITSAT-2009 and are interested in admission will be required to submit Admission application with 12th marks and preferences to different degree programmes offered, on or before 30th June 2009.
The merit position of such eligible candidates (i.e., those who have appeared in BITSAT-2009 and have submitted the application for admission in the prescribed form with 12th marks, preferences and the required fees) will be prepared on the basis of their scores in BITSAT-2009. The cases of bracketing, if any, will be dealt with as described below.
When the score of two candidates are the same, first their scores obtained in Mathematics in BITSAT will be considered for separating them, If the tie still exists, then their scores in Physics in BITSAT will be considered for separating them. Further tie is eliminated using their scores in Chemistry. Finally, their PCM total marks in 12th examination will be considered for their separation.
6.      Test Centers for BITSAT-2009:
In order to facilitate a large number of students all over India to participate in this test, apart from Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad where it is expected that a large number of students will take the test, the Institute is also planning to offer the tests at dedicated test centers in several cities. The planned test centers are in the following cities.

EAMCET

EAMCET 2009 Eligibility Criteria

EAMCET 2009 Eligibility Criteria - New proposal to ensure only Intermediate second year students to apply for the entrance test.

The Department of Technical Education in Andhra Pradesh, is considering a proposal to prevent first year intermediate students appearing for EAMCET. It is a common practice that students who are in their first year of Intermediate do appear for the EAMCET entrance examination to get a feel of the real exam and also to see how they perform one before their exam.

As per the proposal, students applying for EAMCET will have to attach a photo copy of their Intermediate second year Hall Ticket. This proposal, if approved will prevent the first year students in taking the test as a practice for the real exam.

Earlier, the authorities announced that the Intermediate (10+2) score will carry 25% weightage in Engineering and Medical admissions from EAMCET 2009 onwards. As per this rule, the 600 marks of the group subjects (Maths/Biology, Physics, Chemistry - including practicals) will have 25% weightage in EAMCET 2009.
