IITJEE 2008 (part 2)

Hi.

I happened to come across this page which would be immensely useful to you all. This webpage happens to give the opening and closing ranks for all the courses offered by IIT last year.
Click here to goto that page

Hope that answers a lot of questions for you. With new IITs in the pipeline, the cut-off ranks might drop very slightly, but that might be only for the courses which aren't very popular.

Get back to us if you have any questions...till then

IITJEE 2008

Hello

Firstly, I would like to congratulate all those who secured a rank in what is supposed to be the toughest test at the undergraduate level in the world - IITJEE.

It might very well happen for most of you that you might not be satisfied with the rank you got and must be expecting something much better. But, I would suggest you not to fret over it and be jubilant of your achievement. Finding your name among IITJEE qualifiers should be reason enough to cheer you up. No rank is bad in an exam which gives you a ticket to the best institutes in the country.

Those who missed out, should not feel disheartened for it is not the end of the world. There are a galore of options open for you including AIEEE and various state level exams.

At this juncture, the first question which comes to one's mind is - 'What options will I get at my rank and what should I opt for?' It is very important that you get a clear perception of what discipline you want to take. This has been a shortcoming of our education system where you have to select a discipline without having a proper idea of what it offers. But then, that is the way it is.

It's exactly this problem we offer to address through this forum. We invite questions from students who have cleared the exam and have myriad queries unanswered. Ask us anything ranging from what you can get with your rank to what kind of courses are available at the IITs....

With as many as 6 new IITs to begin operation this year (yes, it's 6 now), it opens up a plethora of opportunities giving an outside chance for students with a low rank to get into an IIT. Also, many students have confusions about the 4 and 5 year courses IITs offer.

We would be more than pleased to answer all your queries in this forum. Looking forward to a fruitful discussion which helps you all to make effective decisions...

WBJEE 2008 (contd)

Hey everybody,
I would like to thank a couple of people for bringing to our notice two mistakes in our solutions to the physics paper of WBJEE 2008. Here are the correct solutions to those two questions:

31. The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is 24 cm and the image is magnified by 1.5 times. The object distance is: (a) 20 cm

37. A silicon and a germanium diode has identical physical dimensions. The band gap in silicon is larger that that in germanium. An identical reverse bias is applied across the diodes. (c) The reverse currents are identical in the two diodes


We also regret not having been able to upload the solutions to the mathematics and chemistry papers. This has been due to a very busy schedule we've been subjected to. Though, we are happy that we were the first ones to upload the physics solutions.


Here is a link to solutions of all the papers of WBJEE 2008 as given by a coaching institute: Aakash
BIOLOGY
PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY
MATHEMATICS


Hope these prove to be useful. If you face any doubt regarding any question in the papers, you are free to discuss with us in this forum.

The pilot

So here comes the episode one.Getting into engineering is a tough task and so is getting into its business.So we started with the state of west bengal.Hope you folks out there have a good time reading our solutions while holding the paper in ur hand........
Good Bye
Take care

WBJEE 2008

WBJEE'08 which was scheduled to be held in April, due to reasons which are quite well-known, was shifter to 24th day of May'08 - that is today....

Students gave their exams amidst lots of speculations over what kind of subjective questions does the board plan to give....they did turn out to be tough - as the general opinion said. Though, they carried double the marks of their objective counterparts, thereby justifying their difficulty :)

Now, a quick analysis:
Physics was definitely the easiest of the lot. A more or less decent preparation would get one through with a very good score. Chemistry and Maths were almost on a similar platform. Though, certainly slightly tougher than Physics. Chemistry, in particular, had a good dose of organic chemistry and those who are comfortable with it, would have found it quite easy as well. Maths, as always, had a slight tinge of 'lengthiness' attached to it, but nothing which was not doable.

The deciding factor would almost certainly be Mathematics.


Here, I and my friend have provided the solution for the Physics paper (the objective section only). Due to paucity of time, as well as resources, we haven't yet come up with the other subjects' solution. But, we are trying our best.

We are, but humans (oh yes :D ). And hence, mistakes are indispensable. We would love to know if we made any mistakes in the solution. Also, because of lack of time, we have just given the answers (and not the solutions or the other options). If, you have any doubt as to how we reached a particular answer, you are free to contact us here. We'll try to reply you at the earliest :)

Here is the link:

hey to all!!!

hello world!!!
this blog sees light at almost midnight, as almost all blogs do :P

but this one, has a purpose to serve. we embark this journey to help those students who spend atleast two years of their lives in the eleventh and twelfth standards dreaming of a career in engineering...having been through the turmoil, we kind of have a feeling as to what is needed by students and when.

i would cut this one short, coz i had a really tiresome day...and would give way for what this blog has been given birth :)
