How different is BITSAT from JEE Mains? Is BITSAT more difficult?

Hello Sourav,
BITSAT and JEE Mains are equally competitive and important exams.
JEE Mains is for admission into NITs, IIITs and GFTIs, whereas, BITSAT is used only for the admission into the campuses of BITS.
JEE Mains is more concept-oriented so you need to have more knowledge of the concepts and only then you can attend many questions.
There are totally 90 questions for 3 hours time. The questions could be solved only if you have a good knowledge and solving skills.
In case of BITSAT, the questions are not that tough as compared to JEE Mains but you need to solve many questions within the given time.

Hi Sourav,
BITSAT is not difficult from JEE Mains , but certainly it is quite different. Time management is the key for success in BITSAT. You have to solve 150 questions in 180 minutes. A large number of questions are there to create pressure on the candidates. Though the questions are less conceptual than JEE Mains and some are also direct formula based. So, for cracking BITSAT, you need to practice a lot and try to be good in accuracy and time management. This you can accomplish by giving mock BITSATs.
All the best. -
Difficulty level depends upon the level of preparation and this can only be judged by the candidate.
The pattern is little different.
