Most people who appear for BITSAT and clear it are good at PCM. Most of them also rank well in JEE Main and JEE Advanced too (these only tests PCM). Since the BITSAT syllabus covers PCM, English, and Logical Reasoning, your total score depends a lot on how you perform in the English section.

The English proficiency test of the BITSAT syllabus is as follows.

Sections

Syllabus

Grammar

Agreement, relative pronouns, tense, parallel constructions, determiners, adjectives, modals, prepositions, voice, phrasal verbs, questions tags

Vocabulary

Synonyms/antonyms, One word, homophones, spelling, odd words, analogy, contextual meaning, jumbled letters

Reading Comprehension

Content, rewording, idioms, vocabulary, referents

Composition

Paragraph unity, rearrange, linkers

So, put a little effort into preparing for the English section. Given below are a few tips which can be helpful for the preparation.

  • Follow and practice from Arihant’s BITSAT Books. It has lots of questions and practice papers.
  • Study English newspapers daily to remain up-to-date with the examination announcements. In addition, it will also enhance your vocabulary.
  • Before examinations, practice test papers too. 

Good marks in the non-PCM subjects can be the difference between Goa, Hyderabad, and Pilani. It can also be the difference between branches. If you are generally good at English, you can easily do well in the section. Otherwise, practice well and try to perform your best in the exam. Preparing for English does not take much time but it can be quite helpful to secure a good score.
