Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

Well, I am getting 418.

Sudeep Salgia - 7 years ago

You are a genius! wow! How much are you getting in advanced?

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

I haven't checked as of now and neither am I planning to do so until the official answer key is released. :)

Sudeep Salgia - 7 years ago

@Sudeep Salgia – Haha...that's the very same reason I am ignoring those questions related to JEE-Adv! :D

Though, I am sure you will be getting a good score. ;)

Pranav Arora - 7 years ago

@Sudeep Salgia – It's all so confusing, because my marks can vary by as much as 12 marks, due to differences in answers in paper 1.

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

You nailed it!

Pranav Arora - 7 years ago

Congrats on your score last year..I got a really low score for mains so I feel instead of following everybody and studying for advanced and then not qualifying it would be better if I focus on bitsat instead.. I have almost 2 months to prepare so..any help as to where to study from and what to focus on ?

Shweta Salelkar - 6 years, 2 months ago

I am getting 403.

Karthik Kannan - 7 years ago

Congrats!!!!!

Sudeep Salgia - 7 years ago

Thanks a lot Sudeep !!! Congrats to you and everybody as well !!!

Karthik Kannan - 7 years ago

Yeah Man , thats awesome ! How much are you getting in Advanced?

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

I got 227 ... nd xpecting 60 out of 360 in advanced ... plss dnt ask y

Arijit Banerjee - 7 years ago

I am getting $374$ out of $450$ . Given my disastrous JEE Advance, I will be joining BITS Pilani. I hope to get CS there.

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

Congrats for your BITS results. I personally think you should wait for the JEE results to come out before you take any decision or narrow down your possibilities.

Sudeep Salgia - 7 years ago

Well, if you see my marks, you will know that there is absolutely no possibility for me to join a good IIT.

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – @Avineil Jain How much are you getting in Advanced?

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya – Not good at all. just 205.

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – Me 2...around that much..Was your paper 1 better than paper 2?

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya – Absolutely not! I am only getting 90 in paper 1 ! and 116 in paper 2 !

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – I don't know how you define a good IIT, but hey! Check out the past year's data. For a score like 205, (and I think the trend this year should nearly be the same as that of last year), you get a rank of around 1700 (that may not be very much upto your expectations - I can't comment over that), and that gives good courses. For example aeronautics in IIT-M (I only remember this, but am 120% sure, that if you see the closing and opening ranks of various courses, you'll find other good courses too!)

Parth Thakkar - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – Yeah definitely that doesn't open doors for CS - anyways, just a comment. Free h, chahe to rakh lo, warna ignore karo ;) :D

Parth Thakkar - 7 years ago

@Parth Thakkar – Can you please elaborate as to why i will not get CS in BITS Pilani? Last year the cut off was only 356 for CS.

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – I presume he was talking about your JEE score. :)

Pranav Arora - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – I meant IITs. Sorry for the miscommunication!

Parth Thakkar - 7 years ago

@Parth Thakkar – OK sorry !

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

Getting 320...seems I am the lowest one over here :D So if NITs/IITs don't look at me, I'd most probably go for a CS in Hyderbad.

Parth Thakkar - 7 years ago

no I am..... 227 ....

Arijit Banerjee - 7 years ago

Ah, that's the exact same score I got previous year. :')

Pranav Arora - 7 years ago

I got 343

Daaman Barara - 7 years ago

I also got the same score

Aabhas Mathur - 7 years ago

What is the difference in the study material for iit jee and bitsat?

Shweta Salelkar - 7 years ago

I got 341 out of 450...

Siddharth Iyer - 7 years ago

i got 343

Aabhas Mathur - 7 years ago

I expect to get Mechanical at BITS-Pilani, and almost any branch at BITS-Goa....Is that a right assessment?

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

You call it moderate? OMG! It's a fabulous score! I got 312, and I seem to be quite satisfied with it. Is it OK for an integrated MSc in math? And btw, pls tell me the pros and cons of an integrated Msc and a (BSc + Msc) course.

Maharnab Mitra - 7 years ago

Thank you very much...Your score is superb too...It can fetch you Electrical & Electronics at BITS-Goa, and it might also get you Computer Science at BITS-Hyderabad..

As for MSc courses, I literally have NO idea about those courses...Im really sorry...But, I think its still better to do those courses than say Mechanical at VIT or SRM

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya – What are your future plans? Planning to join college or attempting the JEE once again?

Maharnab Mitra - 7 years ago

@Maharnab Mitra – No thanks..I wont attempt it again...Ive had enough Chemistry in my life...If I dont get Civil at IIT-Bombay, or say Mechanical at IIT-Madras, then Ill go for BITS-Pilani Mechanical

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya – So dude, you want to do mechanical only?

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – Well, Its not that I want to do Mechanical ONLY...But, for my marks in BITSAT, I wont be getting Electrical or Computers at BITS-Pilani...And the same goes for JEE-Advance..

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya – I am confused. All my teachers say that with 374, i will get CS in BITS Pilani, but with my JEE Advanced marks, i will get mechanical in roorkee, and other integrated courses in other IIT's. So, should I go for the tag of IIT or for the branch of my choice ?

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – Last year's average package for students in CS at BITS-Pilani : 27 Lakhs per annum....Statistics say everything...You have nailed BITSAT..I would suggest you to go for CS Pilani

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya – Well that's what I have been thinking. Its too bad to think all those 2 years of hard work doesn't lead to a good IIT !

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – BITS Pilani is as good as IIT-Kanpur, Kharagpur or even Delhi....Also, BITS-Pilani is called the "Student's dream institute"...What else do you require? You have worked hard, you were destined to score brilliantly in one of the exams, at least..You have done just that..Though, you may get Civil at IIT-Bombay if your score increases just a bit.

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya – Thanks man. I request you to again check your paper 2 with some answer key other than resonance, i am confident you are getting around 110 or even more!

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

@Avineil Jain – But the codes Narayana gave the answer key for is different than mine...Guess Ill have to check the question paper for that code as well.

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

And hey......... what about your JEE ADV P-2 score?

Maharnab Mitra - 7 years ago

Im not sure whether the answer keys released by the coaching institutes are perfectly correct...If I am to assume so, then Im getting just 92 in the second paper, which takes my total to exactly 200. But, im not sure..until the official answer key comes out.

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya – Dont check with the resonance key, check with narayana or any other key. they have given blunders in resonance key!

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

Mine is $371$ . I hope to join BITS this year but I am still not very sure about it.

Pranav Arora - 7 years ago

God, thats amazing

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

Thanks but that score is nothing. I know people having a much higher score than this.

Pranav Arora - 7 years ago

@Pranav Arora – A friend of mine got 390...and one got an astounding 430!

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

@Pranav Arora – Are you kidding? If getting 370 was that easy, everybody would be getting 370!

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

Congrats! Hey, what's your JEE ADV score?

Maharnab Mitra - 7 years ago

How much are you getting in JEE Advanced?

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

No idea about that. ;)

Pranav Arora - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya , @Sudeep Salgia , @Avineil Jain , @Rohan Rao and @Pranav Arora How is jee different from bitsat? Where did you write BITSAT?

Ritu Roy - 7 years ago

337 is awesome score anish......congrats

Max B - 7 years ago

@Anish Puthuraya , @Karthik Kannan , @Sudeep Salgia , @Avineil Jain did you guys choose the EXTRA TWELVE questions at the end? I need to know, bcuz I am writing tomorrow!

Rohan Rao - 7 years ago

I did not attempt all the questions...Only when you have attempted all the questions, you will have the option to choose the extra questions..I attempted around 135 out of 150 problems

Anish Puthuraya - 7 years ago

Yes, I did. I would suggest you not to drop that idea and always keep it in the back of your mind. Seeing the questions and judging by the time that you find yourself spending upon each question, you can take the decision of attempting those twelve questions.

Sudeep Salgia - 7 years ago

Oh , thats why you could crack it! So, it is better to take the extra 12 questions!

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

Ok guys, i wrote it today and thanks for the extra questions advice...i got 396.

Rohan Rao - 7 years ago

That is officially awesome.

Avineil Jain - 7 years ago

Congrats!!!!

Sudeep Salgia - 7 years ago

Thanks, you too, for having done so much better!

Rohan Rao - 7 years ago

Shweta Salelkar - 6 years, 4 months ago
