Guys, this thread is created to discuss various olympiads conducted by HBCSE which was held on 28th and 29th January 2017.
Please post your marks. Over time, we should be able to comprehend the cutoff of the national olympiads.
This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science
related to those challenges. 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.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Yes its enough.don't stress yourself.trust me you are through start preparing for ocsc.you won't get much time as was the case with me and sarthak last year.Congo.to me the paper seemed difficult than prev.
Everyone here is fretting about what the cutoff would be
in my opinion, the cutoff won't surpass 38 or 39
there are two reasons for this.
1. THE PAPER WAS REALLY VERY TOUGH AND A HELL LOT LENGTHY
2. NOT MANY PEOPLE TURNED UP FOR INJSO
this was the case with my region.
In MP, 10 out of 19 turned up for the exam
and I can't see the cutoff being far away from INJSO 2015 which was 39
The paper was way difficult than that!!!
and with the corrections in answer key, you can have a better chance.
And IAOSP candidates have all the joy.
Very few turned up for it, 4/19 in MP
so if you are getting between 38-45, don't worry
yo will get selected for IAO OCSC, if not for IJSO OCSO
The Junior Astronomy paper was about the same level as of previous year, just a little easy. Cutoff for junior last year was 37 . It would be about 40 this year, I think.
Just to add what sarthak said last year the cutoff in injso was 49.25 and the cutoff 37 was for those group that gave astro through junior science.for those with nsea it was above 50s.
INJSO paper was too tough and lengthy. AoPS is saying this year might have the lowest cutoff in INJSO history. Currently, the lowest is 35 in INJSO 2014 or 2015
About 10 people all india have marks 50+. Now around another 10-15 people have marks of 45-50. Now we have left 10 seats for people below 45. Now I know that around 30 people have marks of 40-45. So the cutoff should be closer to 45 as to 40.
aaryan, seeing the difficulty level of the paper, I don't think there will be 30 between 40 to 45. and ten people above 50 is probably an exaggeration.
everyone please tell your INJSO and IAOSP marks. we will do some stats and then tell the prediction
as almost all here are getting 37+
correct me if I am wrong
I expect none, but there are some which come like a good samaritan to some when answer key is changed. I am sure there will be more than one change. as in the question of volume of oxygen, oxygen used is to be taken 5% of the total volume or 5% of 20% of total volume. (i think its the 2nd last question)
well, I nearly fainted when you typed 55.5. But you are class 11. So you are in the senior category. I don't have any idea, but you should go to AoPS. There is a lot of discussion going on. I am also heading for the same
I am getting 39.25 in INJSO. I think the cutoff should be around 40. All india highest is which is 58.75. taking around 10 people 50+ and 20-25 people 40-50, the cutoff should linger around 40. I myself am on the borderline. So lets hope cutoff is 39. Also should I apply for re-evaluation?
city? , coaching institute? For making estimate sufficient data of various places is required, but same is not forthcoming. If you have broad details of marks for students in your city or your coaching institute, please post it here. After combining the inputs we may have a guess for cut off
Just got to know from another blog that 19 have got 40+ in Allen(all India Allen).So taking at least 3 students from other 5 (any) coaching institutions. That makes it 34.So surely cutoff will be above 40 about 43-45.Maybe more
So as on now other than allen confirmed 40 + marks are Somya Tripathi Lucknow (40.5); harry jones(42.25);
this makes 40 + total 21, if anyone have further input , please share; else we may consider cut off 38 or so
None in my city. I got the highest. I live in Bhopal. And I am ROM Aakash. No one from Bhopal except me gave the test. There were only three selections and I got the highest among them in NSEJs
All 40 + are likely to be from coaching institutes like allen resonance etc. who give special coaching for marks , injso. Going by level of exam it may not be possible to clear second round i e.injso just by school level study
As per aops site highest in andhara and telngana is 48.5, this info enhances chance of cut off being 2 or 3 marks below 40. As of now only one in whole india to have 50 +
summary of all inputs till now 50 + , only 1; 45 to 50 : 5 to 7; 40 to 45: 15 to 17
If no data is missing cut off 38 most likely. total selection from allen may be 20 +
However probably missing details include resonance students, they had a batch at kota for injso prep.
So all on this blog may please obtain details
@somya tripathi I am Googlu15 on aops. So don't worry !!! And its good that u didn't send your paper for reevaluation as in most cases they don't change the marks after reevaluation.
FOR ALL THE SENIORS WHO HAVE BEEN TO IAOSP OCSC :
1. DO I HAVE TO READ ALL THE EDITIONS OF ROY AND CLARKE?
2. WHAT ALL TOPICS SHOULD I STUDY FOR SELECTION IN INDIAN TEAM?
3. WHAT NIGHT SKY OBSERVATIONS SHOULD I DO?
4. DO I HAVE TO STUDY ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT TOO?
5. DO I HAVE TO STUDY IOAA CONCEPTS LIKE NEUTRINOS?
6. WHAT KIND OF THEORY AND DATA ANALYSIS QUESTIONS DO THEY ASK?
all the selected people for iao ocsc please come on artofproblemsolving.com community and search for my topic IAO OCSC 2017. I have brought some people from the 2016 Indian Team to guide us in the topic
as per https://www.resonance.ac.in/answer-key-solutions/IJSO/2016-17/Stage-2/Analysis/NSEJS-IJSO-Stage-2-2016-17-Analysis.pdf; cut off is likely to be 39 to 41

What should be the cut off for inao junior
Log in to reply
What are Ur marks. Mine are 45 But the cutoff will be lower for me as I gave paper thru INJSO ie IAOSP
Googlu15 on aops said that he got 42.25 marks. The 40+ list is growing.Now about 24.I am thinking now that I should have sent for revaluation.
Log in to reply
you will be selected
I had already made a list.See downwards.New additions-43.5,48.5,56.25
Any idea about injso 2018 cut off
Guys, start publishing marks you have got from the key that was released today.
Quite unlikely that many will participate.just switch to another such forum that exists already.
ok please give the link.
My are about 40. Is it enough?
What do you all think the level of Junior Science and Junior Astronomy paper was?
The Junior Astronomy paper was about the same level as of previous year, just a little easy. Cutoff for junior last year was 37 . It would be about 40 this year, I think.
Log in to reply
Just to add what sarthak said last year the cutoff in injso was 49.25 and the cutoff 37 was for those group that gave astro through junior science.for those with nsea it was above 50s.
My inpho about 48. Is it enough.
Log in to reply
It is easy but I guess your performs depends mainly on q 5 and 6.class??
Last year, cutoff was 34.5 out of 50.
Have you seen this year's paper. Was it tougher or easier than last year.
This was my first time and thus I have no experience and need help.
Class 12. Did not have time to complete quest no. 5
I also thought that due to last 2 questions it was tougher.
Is this thread only for junior Olympiad.
And INPHO too..
Guys getting nearly 38 to 40 in INJSO and 43-46 in IAOSP. Is there any chance Getting worried
Is there any for inbo here. Getting 184.5. Chance?
Log in to reply
Yes, I think you will qualify.
Please tell about me
What might be expected cutoff for INJSO
INJSO paper was too tough and lengthy. AoPS is saying this year might have the lowest cutoff in INJSO history. Currently, the lowest is 35 in INJSO 2014 or 2015
I am getting 43.5. I feel the cutoff for injso should be 45.
About 10 people all india have marks 50+. Now around another 10-15 people have marks of 45-50. Now we have left 10 seats for people below 45. Now I know that around 30 people have marks of 40-45. So the cutoff should be closer to 45 as to 40.
Log in to reply
I don't think so
aaryan, seeing the difficulty level of the paper, I don't think there will be 30 between 40 to 45. and ten people above 50 is probably an exaggeration.
The all india highest in injso is 62 from resonance
Log in to reply
😨😨😭😭
Who?
I don't think so he/she is a homo sapiens. (Hybrid generation.... )
@Arun Krishna, what do u think the cutoff will be?
This year the paper was really lengthy and the physics was tough.
Any news about inpho.
And what are your comments on IAOSP
everyone please tell your INJSO and IAOSP marks. we will do some stats and then tell the prediction as almost all here are getting 37+ correct me if I am wrong
45
any one from allen kota on this page?
actual marks given by hbcse please
they will give it later today
I am getting 43 but i have taken a range from 37.25 to 44
and there will be changes in answer key too
Log in to reply
what changes you are expecting?
Log in to reply
I expect none, but there are some which come like a good samaritan to some when answer key is changed. I am sure there will be more than one change. as in the question of volume of oxygen, oxygen used is to be taken 5% of the total volume or 5% of 20% of total volume. (i think its the 2nd last question)
No such key changes
Any guesses about INPhO?

What r u guys getting in InPho and incho? Does anybody have any idea what the cutoff may be around?
I am getting 39.25 in INJSO. I think the cutoff should be around 40. All india highest is which is 58.75. taking around 10 people 50+ and 20-25 people 40-50, the cutoff should linger around 40. I myself am on the borderline. So lets hope cutoff is 39. Also should I apply for re-evaluation?
Log in to reply
Who is 58.75? Allen highest is 59.5 as per other blog
who is all india highest?
do any one have institute wise data? allen and resonance had special batches for injso, how many from such batches are 40+

I am getting 42.25 marks in injso 2017.Is there any chance of selection? Everyone is saying that cutoff will be around 40.
I am also active on aops.
It seems only one from kota (59.5) is above 50 as no one else has confirmed above 50 from any city. Now above 45?
Log in to reply
Probably 3 or 4 from allen are above 45
Please post more marks
Log in to reply
which city / coaching class you belong to?
can we conclude that only one student at above 50?
i.e injso above 50
can some one post highest score in individual coaching class. like allen 59.5.... someone may please post for injso resonance , brilliant etc.
marks from sri chaitnya techno, hyderabad? highest and 40+ ????
@Manish Mehta I am from Mumbai.

Highest and 40 + marks in mumbai,?
My friend got 36.75. Any chances
Log in to reply
city? , coaching institute? For making estimate sufficient data of various places is required, but same is not forthcoming. If you have broad details of marks for students in your city or your coaching institute, please post it here. After combining the inputs we may have a guess for cut off
Log in to reply
He is from Fiitjee bhopal
And mine is too low 25
In JS
Just got to know from another blog that 19 have got 40+ in Allen(all India Allen).So taking at least 3 students from other 5 (any) coaching institutions. That makes it 34.So surely cutoff will be above 40 about 43-45.Maybe more
Log in to reply
Those 15 may be below 40😓😓
@Abhideep Khare Hoping so.My marks are 40.5 which is surely in the top three or four in my city Lucknow.
Log in to reply
40.5 appears to be just on border. Out of 19 allen most are betn 40 to 45.
Can you specify exact marks for 40 + students in lucknow
Any chance for 39.25?
Log in to reply
Wish good luck
Which place you belongs to, what is range of marks of other students?
I got 57.75 class10th
@Aman Gupta - 57.75 in injso or astronomy
@somya tripathi in inao
So as on now other than allen confirmed 40 + marks are Somya Tripathi Lucknow (40.5); harry jones(42.25); this makes 40 + total 21, if anyone have further input , please share; else we may consider cut off 38 or so
My friend is getting 46.5 in inao junior
One user on aops is getting 48.75 marks.
48.75 other than allen? as allen list also has 48.75
@Manish Mehta, where is the Allen's list?
Log in to reply
It is on ijso blog partially , rest info collected from other students
Anybody sending paper for reevaluation?
@Harry Jones- I am not sending. Anyways. Marks I have gathered till now other than Allen 40.5,41.75,42.25,32,37.75,34,41.75,35.5,30.75,36.75,39.25
Do now we have 19 + 4 i.e. 23 above 40 based on input bu somya Tripathi . Is this 4 at mumbai only?
Log in to reply
So now..... by somya...
30.75 I know it's low but will help the stats
I too am not sending for re-evaluation but my expectations and reality had an 8 mark s' difference
Log in to reply
4 to 5 marks difference in expectations vs. reality is for many students
How any 40 + from your town / coaching institute?
Guys, my real name is Pragyansh
None in my city. I got the highest. I live in Bhopal. And I am ROM Aakash. No one from Bhopal except me gave the test. There were only three selections and I got the highest among them in NSEJs
Log in to reply
All 40 + are likely to be from coaching institutes like allen resonance etc. who give special coaching for marks , injso. Going by level of exam it may not be possible to clear second round i e.injso just by school level study
Btw a Fiitjee Bhopal student viz. Ajitesh mohan has got 36.75 from Bhopal
As per aops site highest in andhara and telngana is 48.5, this info enhances chance of cut off being 2 or 3 marks below 40. As of now only one in whole india to have 50 +
In the list that I have posted, 41.75 was mistakenly written twice. So 3 above 40
Anyone knows Jeevesh's marks?
Log in to reply
42
42
One more input from aops, santi TN 48.5, so one addition in 40 + list
Log in to reply
Sabri , not santi
So now 40+ =23 Hopes continuously decreasing:-(
Log in to reply
40+ includes 2 student with 40, so you are likely to be in
summary of all inputs till now 50 + , only 1; 45 to 50 : 5 to 7; 40 to 45: 15 to 17 If no data is missing cut off 38 most likely. total selection from allen may be 20 + However probably missing details include resonance students, they had a batch at kota for injso prep. So all on this blog may please obtain details
Does anyone have the mark list of the 19 Allen students
Log in to reply
i am aware that two are 40.00
@somya tripathi I am Googlu15 on aops. So don't worry !!! And its good that u didn't send your paper for reevaluation as in most cases they don't change the marks after reevaluation.
Yeah I realized that after you said that you were from Mumbai.
Kunal has got 56.25 ( aops)
Krunal from which place? In the same post in aops it is said that allen top is 51 which is wrong , it is 59.5
So maybe there are three 50+ scores -51,59.5,56.25:-(
No one is 51 in allen
I got 68 marks in INAO 2017
Class 12 got 68 out of 100 in inao is my selection for ocsc confirmed
Log in to reply
Don't know bro. I am a ninth grader, gave INAO thru IAOSP (INJSO general promotion, without any prep) and I got 45
@Sejal Mehta-I think Kunal is from West Bengal. He got AIR 16 in nsejs,just saw his name in nsejs national 1%
One more input vedant garg delhi 43.5
Can you make one list of all ino scored? In my knowledge in Mumbai Allen there is one guy who scored 59
Log in to reply
Who? There is only one 50 + in allen ,59.5,
I can't find list of ino score
I predict the cutoff to be 43.
Log in to reply
On what basis?
Do you have any input which is not in this forum?
Till now there are about 25 40+ students. Without taking into consideration many FIITJEE and Resonance students.I think cutoff will be 39-42
Log in to reply
Why details of fiitjee and resonance is not forthcoming?
@Sejal Mehta -What will be the cutoff according to you?
Log in to reply
39
No one is able to score much barring isolated exception, those who have not taken professional coaching can't get above 40
When nsejs topper is getting 42, cutoff can't be above it
Are you sure that Jeevesh has got just 42-@Sejal Mehta
Log in to reply
Yes it is the fact
Hopefully cutoff is 39 as you say.😁
@Sejal Mehta I am just guessing the cutoff to be 43.
What about Fiitjee students? Especially Delhi region?

I and my friend are Fiitjee students. Getting 40.5 and 36.75 respectively.
