BITSAT Chemistry Syllabus 2026 - BITS Pilani has released the BITSAT 2026 chemistry syllabus on January 25, 2026. The BITSAT chemistry syllabus 2026 has been released along with BITSAT 2026 brochure on the official website, admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in. . 30 questions will be asked from BITSAT 2026 chemistry syllabus, accounting for 25% of the total paper weightage. The section consists of all multiple-choice questions with four options available for each question. The BITSAT chemistry syllabus 2026 is divided into 3 parts- Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. The BITSAT Chemistry section is considered the least time-consuming section among the other five sections of the paper. Candidates are advised to study the NCERT regularly for better scoring in the BITSAT 2026 exam. In this article, Careers360 will discuss the BITSAT chemistry syllabus, exam pattern, and much more.
