Truth #1

The Truth of the Engineering


Entrance Exams

I was the other type of student one who bunked most of


my classes in Class XI and XII, had all the fun, and just made
some sensible guesses to get into the IITs.

I am not going to talk about 14 lakh applicants trying out for


JEE Main or the alleged 2% success rate of students in IIT
JEE making it one of the toughtest and most competitive
exams of the world. I was never good in studies and never
followed all the suggested textbooks H.C. Verma, Loney, or
M.L. Khanna. So, excuse me if I cannot actually offer you
any study tips.

How young are we catching them these days? Anyway, let


me come to the point.

About a decade ago, IIT JEE preparation was for students


who were in Class 11 and 12. A few started early and could
be found withIIT JEE syllabus and books right from Class 9.
Then started Foundation Programs for JEE for students from
Class 6th onwards.

It means if you solve 100 questions, you will get (100/4) = 25


answers correct. Multiply it by 3 and you will get 75 marks.
But now, of your answers will be incorrect, which will fetch
you 75 penalty marks. Deducting one mark for each incorrect
answer will mean that you lose 75 marks. The net difference
will be Zero.

[(X/4) x (3)] [(3X/4) x (-1)] =0

It means that if you only mark a for all the questions you
will have at least 25% correct answers. Rest of the 75%
answers will be incorrect. Hence, going by the formula below,
you will get zero marks in the exam.

Marking scheme of the exams gives you +3 marks for all


corrects answer and -1 mark for all incorrect answers.

Believe it or not, in all major exams, answers are equally


distributed among all the four options: a, b, c and d. It
means that 25% of answers have to be a, 25% will be b,
25% will be c and 25% will be d. This is done to make sure
that students do not get marks merely because of probability.

Truth #3

If you dont know the correct answer, sensible guessing can


help you eliminate all the wrong answers and gain marks.

In JEE Main, JEE Advanced and BITSAT, there is a devil


called Negative Marking to discourage blind guessing. But
sensible guessing can help you get the best of it.

Truth #2

Nobody cares how you do it whether you actually


understand concepts, cheat your way through the exam or
just guess the answers and they turn out to be correct.

All the engineering exams in India have objective, multiplechoice questions (MCQs) with four answers to choose from.
You have to just circle the correct bubble.

There are questions where they play on units and values.


Choose the unit mentioned in three options and choose the
value that has been mentioned twice.

4)

In case, there are questions like Match the Following o other


similar questions which do not carry negative marking, you
are free to play. Never leave such questions un-attempted.
Study the marking scheme closely and also read the
instructions given in the question paper carefully.

3)
No Negative Marking means You are in the Safe
Zone

If you have already crossed out two incorrect answers,


gamble on one of the two options in which you are confused.
Use other tips here while choosing your pick such as the first
one mentioned above.

2)

In questions which have answers in numerical values, stay


away from the extremes. In 60% cases, the highest and the
lowest values are not the correct answers.

Domain and Range of a Function

Dimensional Analysis is your Friend in Crime

file:///C:/Users/hritik/AppData/Local/Temp/ZEBX4FDV.htm

Lets say, there is a question in which you have to find


velocity of an electromagnetic field with weird orientation. Its
field values are given as B and E. The options are given as:

I wonder whether administrators put such questions only to


mock students who actually solve them. Sometimes the
options given as answers are just so laughable! Just the
dimensional analysis of the weirdest questions will lead you
to the correct answer quickly and accurately.

6)

Just put in the extreme values of the set in the function and
see if they satisfy the answer. In this question, you can put 0
and 4 for x and 2 and 5 for y. You will be able to get the
correct answer (d) in this case.

In such questions, you do not have to solve the entire


function.

(d) None of these

(c) f3 = {(x,y) : y x}

(b) f2 = {(x,y) : x + y = >5}

(a) f1 = {(x,y) : y = x + 1}

If x = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}, y = {2, 3, 4, 5} and x X, y


of the following is a function in the given set -

Questions related to finding domain of a function in IIT JEE


are usually asked as below:

5)

Hence, we will choose (c) or 60 oC as our answer. This logic


works in 80% of the cases!

Now since three options mention degree Celsius, the correct


answer will definitely have oC in the unit part. Also see that
the value 60 is mentioned in both Celsius and Kelvin. Hence,
most probably it will be the right value.

(d) P + [pg (L-h)(L-R)/L)

Your options are:

Lets take an easy example. You have to find the expression


for Pressure on a Bubble of Radius R in a container situated
at H height from the ground level. The water in the container
is up to height L.

Use this trick for questions in which you have to find general
expressions for certain scenarios.

7)

So, our answer is (c) in this case. You do not really need to
check for 2E as only one option gives you correct
dimensions.

Hence, only E/B gives you the Dimension of Velocity, which


is (L1T-1). We do not need the square root as it will lead to
the root of velocity too.

Dimensions of a Magnetic Field are (M L T A ).

1 0 -2

Dimensions of an Electric Field are (M1L1T-3A-1), and

Now, you already know:

Finding out n-terms in Mathematics

file:///C:/Users/hritik/AppData/Local/Temp/ZEBX4FDV.htm

Put 1 as the value of n. Solving the equations you will get 0


for (a), 1 for (b), 1 for (c) and 0 for (d). Hence, we can rule out
(a) and (d).

Sum of 1 as a natural number should be 1 too.

(d) (n+1) (n-1)

(c) n (n+2)/3

(b) n (n+1)/2

(a) n (n-1)/2

The sum of n natural numbers (1+2+3+.+n) is:

Heres an example for you:

If you have tried up to 3 and you still do not have the


answer, leave it alone. It is most likely to be a high-level
question.

Perhaps the easiest questions in Maths, these either ask for


the nth term or the sum or product of n-terms. The value of n
is mostly 1, 2 or at the most 3. Simply, put in these values
and check whether they fit in.

8)

At the surface of water, h = L and Pressure = P. At the base


of the container, h = 0 and Pressure = (P + pg L). Put these
two values in the equations and you will find the correct
answer (d) in this case.

We know that the Pressure on the surface of water must be P


and (P + pg L) at the base of the container.

Now, we only have third and fourth options in hand.

The dimensional analysis will tell you that the first option is
not correct. Similarly, the second option too gives you a
dimension of Pressure per Unit Area and not just Pressure.

Generalize Questions

m3x2 > n3y2

m3x2 < n3y2

file:///C:/Users/hritik/AppData/Local/Temp/ZEBX4FDV.htm

In questions where you get random inclinations of a plane


(alpha, beta or whatever), check what will happen if the
inclination is zero/90. Put zero or 90 as the value of the plan
and see which of the answers satisfy the condition.

Put these values in the equation. Cancel out 3 wherever


possible and you will soon find the correct answer as (b).

For such questions, approximating values is a good idea.

Hence, heres an alternative. Assume some easy values for


m, x, and n. Lets say, m = 2, n = 3, and x = 3. You will get y
as the fourth root of 24. Approximate it as the square root of 5
(since 5 is the square root of 25). Hence, it can be roughly
calculated to be 2.2.

Solving these will lead you to the hot soup of inequalities.

(d) m3 > y4

(c)

(b) m3 < y4

(a)

For positive real values, it is given that m3x4 = n3y4 and m2 <
n2, then

Heres an example:

Just assume that two or more of the arbitrary values are zero,
one or some other easy value and check your options again.

These are the favorite questions of JEE administrators. They


have complex orientation and you will have to find one of the
variables.

9)

Now we put 2 as the value of n. Solving (b) equation, we get


3 as the answer while (c) equation dissolves into 8/3, which is
not a natural number. Hence, the correct answer is (b).

Even if you dont thoroughly understand a concept, drawing


an approximate diagram according to the given scale can
help you work out the radius, area, equations etc. easily. It

You can delay practicing Kinematics and Trigonometry

Just cram up all the formulae. You just cant let these
questions go. Strangely, it requires one-tenth of the
preparation time you need for Mechanics but fetches you ten
times the marks. 11) Diagrams for Co-ordinate Geometry

Modern Physics with its atoms, nuclei, radiation and all


cannot be just ignored. It fetches you as much 20-25 marks in
IIT entrance level exams and you hardly need more than a
day or two to understand it all.

Isnt it simple? 10) Easiest Topic that fetches you 20-25


Marks

Also, the M.O.I of a rod perpendicular to its axis (for =90) =


ML2/12. Using = 90, only (a) gives you that answer.
(c) and (d) turn out to be zero. So, (a) is the correct answer.

We know that the M.O.I of a rod along its length is zero. So if


= 0, M.O.I = 0 too. Assume = 0 and (a), (c) and (d) all
turn out to be zero.

(c) ML2sincos2/12

(b) ML2cos2/12

Find Moment of Inertia (M.O.I) of a rod along an axis at theta


degrees from its length passing through the centre:

You can apply the same logic to find Moment of Inertia about
a random axis. Heres an example:

So, here are my words of wisdom: Consider NCERT books


as the books from where questions will be lifted from
directly. In Maths and Physics, there might be some
questions from other books but in Chemistry every question
asked in IIT JEE was from the NCERT book. In fact, in
Inorganic Chemistry, some of the lines were directly quoted
from the NCERT book straight away Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V
factor.

To my horror, I discovered what they said was so true!

My teachers in Class XI and XII always used to say that


NCERT books are the Bible for all competitive entrance
exams in India. And I, as usual, did not pay attention to what
they said.

14) NCERT for Chemistry

Make sure you understand it clearly. Read the study material,


go through the answer keys and check past year papers with
solutions. It is easy and fetches you some free marks.

I wonder why no coaching institute pays much attention to


this introductory chapter on Measurements. It is so easy and
you get at least three questions from Dimensions,
Approximation and finding Maximum Error sections.

Many argue are trigonometric methods can help you solve a


number of questions. But what these main questions need
are just the basics, which you will probably learn on your own
between your school classes, homework, coaching classes,
and assignments. For real expertise, you have to be really
geeky and nerdy. So, keep your hands off it until you have
mastered the rest. 13) Re-read Chapter 1 of Physics from
your Class 11 NCERT Book

So, I will suggest you to touch these topics only when you
have extra time and have finished with the rest of your
preparation.

master these two topics. And what do they yield only 2 or 3


questions at the most. In the same amount of time, you can
probably master several other topics and get your hands on
20-25 marks worth of questions.

F Tip: When you feel your spirits floundering in despair, just


plug in your earphones and listen to these songs:

F Warning: Never carry a book or revision notes to the exam


centre. It will just confuse you and stress you out in the last
minute. Just carry your admit card and a pencil box/geometry
box with the necessary stationery. And get at least six hours
of sleep the night before the exam.

That reminds me to give you one more warning and one


more tip:

I got an extra 30 marks in my IIT JEE exam by following this


very approach! No matter what happens, never lose your
confidence. Whether it is during preparation, during exam, or
after the exams, keep your spirits high. I had no
understanding of concepts and yet I made it to the IITs only
because I believed that I could do it. The truth is If I can
make it, anyone can make their way to the IITs too!

}Pull out some sample IIT JEE papers. Use these tricks to
derive the answers to the questions in topics you have not
studied yet and check your score!~

I know what they say about always listening to your heart. But
IIT JEE is about testing your Intelligence and not your
Intuition. So, let the mind decide which answer to tick and ask
the Heart to just be the Motivator for the three hours when
you are taking the test.

15) Let the Mind Rule for Once!
