Is BITSAT easier than JEE?
Both BITSAT and JEE have similar syllabi for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, with BITSAT having a few additional sections. In terms of difficulty, BITSAT is considered to be on par with JEE Main, requiring good speed and accuracy. However, JEE Advanced is known to be tougher than BITSAT, demanding a deeper understanding of concepts.
When it comes to competitiveness, BITSAT can be seen as more competitive than JEE Main due to the higher number of questions to be solved within the given time. BITSAT has 130 questions in 3 hours, while JEE Main has 75 questions in the same duration.
Comparing admission difficulty, it is generally easier to get into BITS than IITs, considering the level of competition and the limited number of seats available at the top-tier IITs.
Preparation for both exams involves similar study of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. However, BITSAT aspirants need to dedicate additional attention to English and Logical Reasoning sections.
In summary, while both exams have similarities in terms of syllabus, BITSAT is often considered to be equally challenging as JEE Main, but less difficult than JEE Advanced. The competitiveness and admission difficulty may vary, with BITSAT being more competitive but relatively easier to secure admission compared to IITs.
