BITSAT Physics Syllabus 2026 - BITS, Pilani has uploaded the BITSAT 2026 physics syllabus in the PDF format. The BITSAT syllabus is available on the official website, bitsadmission.com. It is based on the class 11 & 12 syllabus. The question paper will be prepared according to the BITSAT 2026 syllabus. The physics exam pattern includes 30 questions from Class 11 and 12 NCERT-based topics, such as mechanics, electrostatics, modern physics, and more. Candidates must be familiar with the BITSAT syllabus while preparing for the exam. Along with the syllabus, candidates must also be familiar with the BITSAT exam pattern. The authority will conduct the BITSAT 2026 exam in two phases in online mode. The session 1 exam will be held from April 15 to 16, 2026, while Session 2 will be conducted from May 24 to 26, 2026.

Hi! If you mistakenly selected PCM during your Session 1 registration for BITSAT but wish to appear with PCB for pursuing pharmacy, you may get an opportunity to correct it during the application correction window—provided the exam authority allows editing for that session. If you apply separately for Session 2,
Yes, you are eligible for BITSAT 2026, provided you meet the specific marks criteria in your new exams.
