Exam Pattern
HITS has not published a HITSEEE 2027 pattern. The model question paper linked from the HITSEEE page (uploaded 13 November 2025, for the 2026 cycle) shows this structure.
| Feature | Details (2026) |
|---|---|
| Questions | 60 multiple-choice questions (the sample paper has four options a, b, c, d) |
| Duration | 60 minutes |
| Subjects | Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and General Knowledge, 15 questions each in the sample paper |
| Marks per question and negative marking | Not stated in the model paper or on the HITSEEE page |
The older HITS admissions page gives a different description: a 2-hour online test with 120 questions covering Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, with a rank list prepared from the entrance score and Class 12 marks. The two descriptions conflict, and HITS has not said which applies to the next test. See the model question paper.
