Usually, BITS does not allow any change in the centre or exam date. However, since last year, the institute has been providing the facility for upgradation. The month of April and May are packed with entrance examination, due to which a lot of exams clashes.
When BITS receives numerous request from the students for the change due to the clash in the entrance examination, it provides the facility. The candidates appearing for BITSAT 2018 can submit the request for the change in exam centre, exam date, or slot between May 10 to 13, 2018.

Candidates who will be appearing for the examination on any of the date or slot must carry the admit card. It is an important document of identity and without it, the permission to enter exam hall shall not be granted. Candidates will have to carry two copies of the admit card, in which they must have affixed their passport size photograph.
During the examination, the candidates will have to solve 150 questions, which will be of multiple choice type.
