My score did not increase after moderation in bitsat 2022. My friend's score increased by 8 marks. They also wrote the same shift . How is moderation done?

Hello Aspirant,

Your positive score depends not only on the number of questions that you solve correctly but also depends on the number of questions that you have solved incorrectly during the exam. It can happen that, you might have solved some questions incorrectly which resulted in negative marking. Your friend might not have made those silly mistakes and that is why he ended up scoring more than what you have scored.

Marking Scheme In BITSAT: 3 marks will be given for every correct answer. 1 mark will be deducted for incorrect responses and no marks will be given for unattempted questions.

As you can see, the negative marking can affect your total positive score. You should avoid this mistake in future. Only attempt the questions for which you are 100% sure. Random guessing/ Silly mistakes should be avoided at all costs.

Moderation is done after the scores are released. Moderation is done for ranks and not for marks.

TIE BREAKING RULE IN BITSAT:

All candidates who appear in BITSAT 2022 and interested in admission requires to submit Admission application form with 12th marks and preferences to different degree programs offered at Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad campuses. The authorities will prepare a merit list of such candidates on the basis of marks secured by the candidates in BITSAT 2022. If two or more candidates will obtain the same marks as per the BITSAT result then the authorities will use the following tie-breaking rule.

• In case of a tie, candidates with higher scores in Mathematics/Biology will be given higher rank.
• If a tie still persists, candidates with higher scores in Physics will be given higher rank.
• If a tie still persists, candidates with higher scores in Chemistry will be given higher rank.
• If a tie still persists, PCB/PCM marks obtained in Class 12th will be considered to resolve the tie.

I hope your query is resolved.
