Sorry friends , was busy with my intern (PS2) in QualComm.
So here is a small analysis of BITSAT 2009 - As usual in points :)
1) The level of exams remained same with greater emphasis on basic concepts and formulas and memory based questions in Chemistry.
2) The cutoffs increased drastically because of the increase in positive perception about BITS - also people are more informed about Dual degrees now.
3) Though I hate to talk about it but reservations had a negative effect on IIT's and NIT's - many bright students who couldn't get a better rank in these exams preferred BITS.
4) The LPBP - Let us promote BITS Pilani program started by the BITS alumni was successful and many parents had their myths about BITS cleared.
5) The competition to get into BITS has increased and with the increased % of students aiming for a good and competitive engineering college will make BITSAT entrance even tougher.
6) But as I have always told the cutoffs are close to 270 (266 for M.Sc. Bio Hyd and 255 for B.Pharm Hyd) which in my opinion is not that tough to cross if one has a good plan - BITSAT preparation is not much different from your 11 and 12 board preparation - you just need to be quick and memorize a bit more
As I have told I am busy with my intern - We have some good plans for BITSAT 2010 and will need your help - People interested can contact me or Santosh (can expect some remunneration :) )
Also I have been working on my new blog http://diamondsdealer.net and Santosh is working on his new startup Colon K - Do check out and post your comments
