For entering into the BITs, you need to qualify BITS exam. And for cracking this exam with a score of atleast 380 marks, you need some best study strategies:
1. Understand each topic clearly.
2. Do smart work and not hard work.
3. Make smart and good notes.
4. Revise all the formulaes.
5. Solve as many as previous year question papers.

From my experience, I would like you to take note of the following things:
Speed is the key
BITSAT paper pattern: 150 questions in a 3-hour duration.
This accounts for an average speed of 0.833 question per minute.
Comparing this with JEE Mains (90 questions in 3 hours), we get an avg. of 0.5 question per min. Apparently, you need to be almost twice as fast.
So, here are some tips to increase your speed:
(Note that you need to inculcate these in your habit, keep them in mind while you are preparing)
Write as less as possible. Skip unnecessary steps and calculations.
No need to solve till you get the exact answer. Try predicting the range of yo

Write as less as possible. Skip unnecessary steps and calculations.
No need to solve till you get the exact answer. Try predicting the range of your answer and select the most appropriate options.
Take advantage of the MCQ pattern. Have a look at the options before you start solving. This is very helpful in maths (trigonometry, integrals, etc.) as you get an idea of the form the answer is required in.
Do not spend too much time on one question. Develop a habit of gauging a question in the first look. If you have no idea how to go about it, skip it straight away.
Strategy for attempting the paper:
Have a look at one or two sample papers (sample questions are available on the BITS site) online or in some books. It will be the best if you attempt at least one paper at the designated time and plan out a strategy for yourself. The following suggestions may be useful:
Chemistry in BITSAT is more theoretical than numerical. If you remember the theory well (tip: revise it a day before), you will be able to complete the section in 30-45 minutes.
English and logical reasoning section may seem new to you if you had been preparing for JEE as well, but it can be a rank booster. Practice logical reasoning questions beforehand so as to get an idea. For English, I won't suggest you prepare beforehand. This section should take you another half hour at maximum.
If physics is your strength, you can score pretty well in BITSAT. Try attempting them all but also do not engage yourself too much.
Now, the make-or-break section for your score is maths. The level of questions is similar to JEE Mains only a little less lengthy. Keep up with the speed as well as accuracy. (TIP: if a question seems to be very complicated or long, most probably you're getting it wrong. Reread the question with a fresh outlook. Such questions are not included in the paper).

For scoring atleast 380 marks in BITSAT, you need to work really hard as the competition level is on a high rise. But don't worry, all you need to do is to just practice that you have learned in your 11th and 12th standard. Start from getting aware about the syllabus and exam pattern and make a strict routine for the time left for preparation. Schedule fixed slots in days for each subject. Try to learn the basics concepts of physics, chemistry and mathematics and give emphasis on all the three subjects, not on a single one. Grab your hold over English and reasoning also. The books that you may refer are The Pearson Complete Guide to BI

All the graduate entrance exams for engineering cover almost same topics with little bit tweaking.
Practice online BITS mock tests, take a BITSAT mock series from any coaching center to understand more about the pattern.
Plan your studies as per the time available to you.
