The preparation strategy for almost every entrance examination is somewhere the same. Every applicant aims to qualify for the entrance examination in one go. Therefore, we present some of the effective ways to prepare for BITSAT, VITEEE, and SRMJEEE in one go.
It is extremely important for candidates to understand the importance of time management to qualify for the exam. Many times, candidates complain about not being able to complete the exam on time and this is due to the lack of time management. It is essential to understand the amount of time they should give to a particular question. The aim of time management is to manage time in such a way that you reach your target within the specified time.
Solving practice papers will help you ace any exam be it BITSAT or VITEEE. The sample papers are prepared on the basis of the actual question paper format. This will not only help candidates to understand the question paper pattern but also the strengths and weaknesses of a candidate i.e. which topic requires more attention. Solving sample papers will also help in maintaining speed, time management & accuracy. Candidates can find the sample papers of BITSAT 2026, VITEEE 2026, and SRMJEEE 2026 in the table given below.
Having the right study material is again an important part of preparation. Candidates must know the books they should refer to in order to boost their preparation and increase their chances of qualifying for the exam in one go. Along with books, candidates are also advised to prioritize the topics. Note: You can refer the combination of the following for SRMJEE as the syllabus is almost similar.
Missing out any topic is said to be a BIG NO. Candidates must ensure that they have covered all the topics that are mentioned in the syllabus of the entrance exam. Along with the syllabus, candidates are advised to understand the pattern of the exam. This will help them to understand the topics from where the questions will be asked in the exam and what will be the nature of the questions.
Lastly, revise regularly. It is a must. It will help in remembering the formulas, facts, and topics that must have been done a long time ago. Start revising the topics that you find difficult. This will help in boosting the overall confidence level. Also, while revising, try to make notes that summarize the topic. Here is a master table to help you visualize the similarities and differences of the three exams so you can strategize and prepare accordingly:
Aspect | BITSAT 2026 | VITEEE 2026 | SRMJEEE 2026 | How It Affects Preparation |
Conducting Body | BITS Pilani | VIT University | SRM Institute of Science & Tech. | Helps target previous year papers from respective institutes. |

On Question asked by student community
Since the student is in Aakash Institute for JEE prep, her prospects in JEE Mains, BITSAT, and Telangana EAMCET depend on factors like her consistency in mock tests, accuracy, syllabus coverage, and exam temperament. Aakash provides regular All India Test Series (AITS), which is the best way to benchmark her performance nationally scores above 200 in AITS usually indicate a strong JEE Mains rank (<50k), while 300+ marks in BITSAT mocks show good chances of Pilani/Hyderabad/Goa admission. For Telangana EAMCET, securing 80%+ accuracy in state-level practice tests typically ensures a government seat in CSE/ECE. Regular mock analysis, improving weak topics, and comparing her percentile trends will give the most reliable measure of her admission chances.
Hello Aspirant,
From your BITSAT score of 210, BITS Hyderabad entry supports a very focused choice of integrated M.Sc. (like M.Sc. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics or Biology). Generally with this score, admission into the M.Sc. programs at BITS Hyderabad is likely competitive. Based on past trends, the cutoff's for the M.Sc. programs at Hyderabad have ranged 220 to 250. While 210 will typically be below the cutoff marks for most M.Sc. courses, you might still have a small chance / opportunity during the last / spot rounds, provided the cutoff trend is slightly lower that year.
Hello Aspirant,
With a BITSAT score of 172 and SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 14,110, securing top branches like CSE at BITS Pilani, Goa, or Hyderabad is unlikely, as their cutoffs are much higher (around 240–270+ for lesser-known branches). Similarly, SRM KTR campus for CSE closes within ~2,000–5,000 rank, so core branches at SRM KTR may not be possible, but Ramapuram or Vadapalani campuses might offer CSE or allied branches.
Now, comparing your other two options:
VIT Bhopal
Part of the reputed VIT group.
Newer campus but decent infrastructure.
Better academic reputation than CU.
Good placements mainly for CSE/IT streams.
Chandigarh University (CU):
Known for aggressive placement marketing.
Good exposure, foreign tie-ups, and more affordable for North Indian students.
Decent placement packages for CSE/AI/ML, but mass placements are often on the lower side.
If you get CSE or CSE-related branches at VIT Bhopal then you take admission at VIT Bhopal.
If not, Chandigarh University is a decent alternative, especially if you’re from North India and want affordability and exposure.
All the best for your admission process.
