KVPY 2017

Hey guys, how many questions did u did in KVPY 2017 SA?

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.

HOw many of u cleared Stage 1 @Md Zuhair,@Arvind Murali,@SUKRIT AGGARWAL,@Rajdeep Dhingra,@Kaustubh Miglani ???

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 5 months ago

I didnt qualified. I got 46. Stull no name. I got -2 in bio. If I knew bio I would have nailed 8t with 60+ marks

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 5 months ago

Wait a sec... how did u know I got 46 ?? BTW my name is there in the list.

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Aakhyat Singh – U also got 46? I also got 46.. but there is not my name.... and i also saw ur name.... i know u.. i rem. u....

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Md Zuhair – No, actually IDK how much I got...but when u told I got 46 I was surprised....coz they told they will give marks in April 2018....

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Aakhyat Singh – Oh ok.. No i calculated it... U r a topper.. I am looser

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Md Zuhair – PLEASE dont put blade bro, it was just one exam....also there were many people whose got more marks due to retest(the retest itself was stupid-50% q from the paper we wrote and the rest from previous years- any hardcore mugger would have surely scored centum in it). Also in the intial comment u typed u had done a typo due to which i misunderstood it.

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Aakhyat Singh – THIS YEAR's KVPY was the most flawed one-conducting retest at centres just because some computers crashed there and that too making it free for all the candidates of that centre-including those whose computers ran well is the dumbest thing any1 cud evr do..

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Aakhyat Singh – No its not true that everyone was given the oppurtunity to give. I was not.

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Md Zuhair – But in Chennai, although only 40-45 computers crashed(that too all on one floor) in a center where more than 200 students were writing the exam, all of them were eligible to write the retest( in fact many of them did not go thinking that the retest paper would be too tough, but they got a big bulb). Luckily, I wasn't in that center..

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Aakhyat Singh – The worst part- think if this happens for JEE Mains/Advanced.

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Aakhyat Singh – Yeah.. really bad.. This time.. KVPY is flawed... and is kindof fake. LAY JAIN , AIR 1 KVPY SA 2016 didnt had his name in the list. SO Allen filed a case against IISc. Lets see

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Md Zuhair – Whoaa...never got to know about that..

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Aakhyat Singh – Are you in Aakash? Or fiitjee?

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 5 months ago

@Md Zuhair – Fiitjee.

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 4 months ago

How did ur interviews go @Rajdeep Dhingra, @Kaustubh Miglani ??

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 4 months ago

I heard one of my friend was asked to prove Scrondingner Wave Eqn.

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 4 months ago

Whoa..that is quite difficult.

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 4 months ago

@Aakhyat Singh – Yeah i know. And he was also asked more tougher things.

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 4 months ago

@Md Zuhair – In my centre, there were 2 committees. Out of them, the 2nd one was grilling the students a lot by asking very tough questions. And the prediction did emerge true-it happened only for students who scored borderline marks in STAGE 1(46-60 marks) or wrote the retest, got very high marks(thanks to their mugging abilities). Whereas the students who scored really high marks were asked very dumb questions.

Aakhyat Singh - 3 years, 4 months ago

@Aakhyat Singh – No. One of my frnds estimated her score to 56-57.

But she was asked, find the gravitational field of due to a rod on a sphere

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 4 months ago

It was easy , general easy questions.

Rajdeep Dhingra - 3 years, 4 months ago

BTW, how much are u expecting in Stage 1 ?? Also who got highest mark in Kota and how much ?
