Top NewestSo the kvpy interview is over.I am gonna share my experience.For me it was scheduled to be held at 9:00 am in NISER,Bhubaneswar. I reached there by 8:15.quite a far place.abt 22km from Bhubaneswar.It was adjacent to IIT,Bbsr.My interview started at 9:45 am after the completion of 2 students.The first one is a friend of mine(I don't know him much) who said after his that the interview board is quite friendly.that seemed a good gesture.So when I entered I just introduced my self,what I liked to do.etc.They asked what I had for breakfast and it was maggi for me.so they readily asked(chem) what chemical led to the controversy in maggi case.I didn't know.but anyways the person had himself told that this is not related to interview.so now of started.my topic was wave-particle duality,photoelectric effect and modern phy....somi was asked to explain photoelectric effect.on board which I did.then the physics prof asked me to split the work function into constituents.I did that it was binding energy+energy to remove that from the influence of all other interacting forces.then the mam asked on wave prop.then maths.I knew him as he is the director of institute of maths(where I had attended inmotcs in class 10,11)even he had felicitated me this yr for being 3rd in state in rmo.so he asked to prove that sum(j^99)j=1,2,3,4,5.was divisible by 5.I did that quite easily and could even generalise the case although it wasn't asked.the interview board seemed quite happy.I proceeded to factorise and proof the generalisation. And he didn't allow me to complete as he saw the first few steps and said "oh come on you can do after this quite easy" then something on relations.which I replied that I have not studied.and he said that it wasn't a big thing.I could do it anytime.then I was asked some conversions in organic although I didn't know them he didn't tell much and asked what I will do in future I said that I will do research (in mathematical aspect of physics) and they seemed quite impressed.and the next was a staple q(do you really want to join jee or do research)I genuinely replied research(as that's what I really wanna do).it came to an end and theybjust asked if I wanted anything to get clarified. I just asked what I can do to promote my interest as a student.The chem one replied that I was doing really well and I will do so.that made me feel quite ecstatic.and that was the end.later the director of niser(perhaps)wanted to meet my father.as he seemed to be quite happy with my perforomance.Later I went to canteen(some drinks)and returned.Believe me it was very big and great campus.and on way I even went to IIT bbsr.it is still under construction.nothing much but the field there is quite big.and it will look beautiful after some years.

Your interview went quite well plus aptitude marks = top 10 for you.
Congrats!
Log in to reply
No chance of top 10.I know a guy paean who is scoring as high in 90.and mine is 73.so its quite tough.but I expect a rank of within 100.BTW what's the highest in kvpy from yours state.I don't know sarthaks but his is mostly in 78-80.

Ohk.
Log in to reply
Well according to your interview experience . you will easily get 80+ or even 90.
According to that if you equalise last year your rank will be in the range 25-50 (considering difficulty the same as last year).
I Got about 70 in test and 81 in interview ended with 59 .
My friend got 73 in test and 75 in interview ended with around 50.
Log in to reply
Yeah top 10 is really difficult . one of my friend got 86 in test and 64 in interview lasty year to get air 14

Can you please help me? A particle of mass 'm' moves under a force given by F= -kx^n.Find time period of oscillations if spring constant is k. Here n is any odd integer.
Log in to reply
Ha Ha it reminds me of my friend's interview last year . he was asked the time period for F = -kx^3 . IDK But the professor told him F = -Kx where K = kx^2
Hence time period = 2pi*sqrt(m/kx^2) i know its not logical at all but one of professors of the panel told my friend this :P :P
Log in to reply
Did they tell the actual answer ?
Log in to reply
Ya its of the form \(8x(o)^((1-n)/2)/w(n+1)int(sin@^\((2/n+1)d@)\)).with @ varying from \(0-π/2\) and \(w^2=2k/m(n+1)\) Here the numbers \(2/n+1)\)accompanying \(sin@\) is the power that sin has been rairaised to.and the no\(1-n/2\)accompanying the x(o)term is a power .
Log in to reply
Why will it not depend on amplitude?
Log in to reply
Ya it will intact the amplitude is the x(o)term.Hey try putting \(.sin@=e^(iy)-e^(-iy)/2i.\)Most probably the binomially expanding yieldmsome thing but then that's not in closed form. No don't work it becomes tedious.
Log in to reply
OK so it has a value of \((√π)/2T\((n+3)/2(n+1)\)/\(T(n+2)/(n+1)\)). T is the gamma function
Log in to reply
How did you do it?I tried doing it with normal integration and things are getting very tedious?
Log in to reply
Ya substituted=x(o)(sin@)^(2/n+1).Although I don't know whether its closed form exists of the integral.But next let me Think
Log in to reply
Well this kind of problem has been asked in jee but was somewhat easier . If i can reckon correctly it had something proportionality constant (alpha)
Log in to reply
Yup the problem mentioned smthing additional like small amplitude,i also remeber.
Log in to reply
Well i did SHM arhive in september 2015 but i marked that question coz i was not able to do that at first shot thats why i remember otherwise there are 100's of problems in archive
Log in to reply
I found this question in some PDF related to SHM.
Log in to reply
How did you solve it?
Log in to reply
Yup closed form does exist use beta function and then gamma function done.
Log in to reply
Well that's not in scope of JEE Atleast although i love gamma and beta functions.
@A E Can you share pdf?
Log in to reply
But many trignometric integrals as well as integrals of the form (x)^a(1-x)^b can be solved under 1 minutes (and it has appeared as a previous jee question where normal method was very long).
Thus it is worth learning even from jee point of view i guess.
Log in to reply
I learnt it coz i loved integrals when it was taught to us! and yeah that helped only in AITS :p
Log in to reply
Did you had any backlogs at the end of class 11?
Log in to reply
Yep many i had . one of my backlog is still there which i haven't overcame FLUID MECHANICS . In chemistry i mostly didn't got Organic of 11th which i improved in 12th . in maths combinatorics troubled me and it still sometimes coz its a kind of topic which you cant master completely .
Log in to reply
I don't have it now,but it was in some PDF related to MIT's open course ware.Try googling it,I suppose its still on their site.
Log in to reply
So what did you get I don't know beta functions much.

Log in to reply
I have not solved it till end.You may directly use beta function's defination to evaluate that integral.Just look up on brilliant wikis.

Be confident , there main target is to check your confidence , they will try to just confuse you in your concepts itself and they will question you continuously , you just need to answer them with full confidence and correctness . And never answer those q which you don't know as wrong answers are not encouraged there and be upto the point , don't add extra waste things to your answer .
Log in to reply
Thanx for your suggestions.will they be asking questions from all the 4 subjects.
Log in to reply
Depends , for me , they ask my favourite subject (Physics ) and then they asked for maths also .
Log in to reply
What was your stage 1 marks?.does it any way matter in stage 2??
Log in to reply
My score was low due to Bio, it was 66.5 , however in second stage they dont ask your scores , they are not interested in that.
Log in to reply
my score in bio is just 11.total 72.75.did you chose any special topic of interest for it??and tell me how did you prepare?we have got mock interviews organised by our school.And they call scientists for that even.so even those who qualify the first stage by a small margin perform well in interview.any way I am also planning to go with phy.
Log in to reply
Your score in 1st stage matters for selection , in second stage its obvious that u will get good score , I didnt do anything special for interview , just searched net for other people experiance.
My score in Bio was just around 6 :P
Log in to reply
11 is big no in bio my score was 0.75😂
Log in to reply
will bio question would be asked to a pcm student

I can't really gurantee that , but according to me they won't do such things . They understand the problem of students .
Log in to reply
Yup all the best @Harsh Shrivastava
I Will give just one advice. clearly say if you dont know an answer . dont blindly guess . stay calm, cool take your time to think upon the problem. you will rock it

I Would not say difficult (class 12) just its a bit bigger than class 11 in terms of syllabus . but class 12 mostly has 55-60% weightage in JEE So you can understand its importance.
Log in to reply
@Harsh Shrivastava.can you share with me some questions that theyasked you in your interview.

I was the last one to be interviewed so they asked me easy questions.
First they asked me C1+C2+C3+C4+....Cn prove this in two ways.

Ya it went nice.In Physics I think one and didn't match.That rolling one It must be \((8/35)v/ug\).
Log in to reply
I think answer is matching, coming out to be 3/7 v/ug many of my fnds also got 3.
Log in to reply
Well the friction will change its direction may be I did some calc mistake but its like this initially it acts backward so time taken for w to become zero=(v/2R)*(2/5MR^2)/fR.=v/5ug.and for v to become zero its v/ug.So w becomes zero first then v=4v/5at that instant.Next friction supports rotation and opposes translation so 4v/5-ft/M=5ft/2M(t=8/35)OK then we needed to add with the initial.so that t=3/7..Oh I missed that......Got it thanks.

Hey spandan, one doubt in the question posted by aniswar , I solved it by iaor method.But then I tried solving by force torque method that is by drawing individual fbds but could not solve it.My doubt is what forces will act on the particle from ground frame?

Weight of the particle,contact forces by the rim..........But we need to analyse what sorts of acceleration it has.

@Spandan Senapati -- in that 65th question how to relate the rate of increase of temperature and speed of piston?? i tried something like PdV + VdP = nRdT. dV=Adx & dP=kdx/A since P=kx/A. and then divide both sides by dt. but then i am not getting that 3/8 in the answer.
Log in to reply
For 64 make use of the fact that the max theoretical increment in temperature accounts for the increase in internal energy =Increment in potential energy so \(nCv(T-To)=Mgh\) and \(nRTo=(p+∆p)V\).It's a valid supposition that initially the Tempnof the air inside is \(To\)
Log in to reply
Hey there is a thing that the piston is nt massless so Weca t equate the forces perhaps.

@Spandan Senapati @Harsh Shrivastava A question!
A parallel plate capacitor is completely filled with a dielectric sheet of thickness d and relative permittivity k is placed on a horizontal tabletop. The lower plate is glued with the tabletop and the dielectric slab is glued with the lower plate. The plates are square of edge length l and mass of the upper plate is m. The plates are given a charge +q and -q, then the upper plate is shifted horizontally by a small distance x along one of its edges and set free. Find the period of oscillation of this plate. Thickness d of the dielectric is much smaller than the edge length l.
Log in to reply
Thanks let me try.
Log in to reply
Us the answer.\(.T=2\pi L/Q(2m\epsilon kd) ^(0.5)\).I solved using energy conservation as there would be fringing fields here and directly calculation of the force may be difficult....
Log in to reply
In the answer there is a factor of 8. I don't know how they got it. T=(8l/q)(e0kmlx/d)0.5 and pi is not there!!
Log in to reply
Yes I know it's not gonna be a shy. It's gonna be a periodic motion with probably constant acceleration(I think) I will retry it.i didn't notice that the width of the dielectric is quite less. That's the error.
Log in to reply
Try this way let an external agent displace the upper plate by a distance X then \[W(agent) +W(capacitor) =0\] .Since for an isolated system in the absence of dissipation forces the energy remains conserved. Now since electric force is conservative \(W(capacitor) =-dU\) Where the second term represents the change in potential energy. Since no external potential is applied\( U=Q^2/2C\).Now when we displace the plates by \(x\) say then \( U=L^2\epsilon /\sqrt d^2+x^2\).Now put that in the equation \(F=dU/dx\). and terms of the order \(x^2\) can be neglected. This gives \(F=\psi x\). But we don't have any agent performing so the force applied by other charges on this is \(f=-F\). So the plate exhibits SHM.Find \(T=2\pi /\omega\)
Log in to reply
I am sorry. It's incorrect. Didn't notice that the dielectric has thickness much smaller than the edge length....
Log in to reply
It would be better with a diagram. But I don't see what thickness means here. Anyways we begin by noticing that when the plates of a capacitor are displaced then the capacitance of the system is given by \(A\epsilon/d.\)where \(A\) is the projected common area.So Here \(A=L(L-x)\) . Now \(C=kL(L-x) /d\). Force by the other charges on this plate is \( F=-dU/dx\). \(U=Q^2/2C\).Note that the charge remains the same but \(\sigma\) changes..Using this you get \(ma=-kQ^2d/2m\epsilon L^3.\) Now that we have acceleration as negative means it's gonna come back to its natural position, overshoot and head to an amplitude, return back. So \(t=4\sqrt (2x/a)\) The constant \(4\) for in one complete cycle it covers\( 4x\) distance.So this yields\[ t=8L/Q\sqrt (mk\epsilon Lx/d) \] .I used d as the distance between the plates. God knows how it's the thickness. Lol. Got It? And the thing wrong in the previous solution was the expression for capacitance...
Log in to reply
Nice one!!
This means we must not expect everything to be shm!!
Log in to reply
And to the other question(on pressure) that you had posted I got \(V^2=\alpha b/(k^2-1)\).If the dielectric slab completely fills the space then studying the distribution of charges the net field at position ofa face of e dielectric is \(\sigma /2\epsilon (1+1/k)\).The charge on the face is \(\sigma (1-1/k)\)(on!y magnitude).Thus thethe pressure is \(b=\sigma^2 /2\epsilon (1-1/k^2)\)(for the limiting case).Again \(\sigma =CV/A=k\epsilon V/d\).Plugging in the prev exp gives \[b=V^2\epsilon /2d(k^2-1)\]Thus \(V^2=\alpha b/(k^2-1)\).....Although I think if not completely filled then the dependence will be on C specifically(and thus \(t,k\)
Log in to reply
I took the field to be sigma/k. But we must consider the field due to other charges excluding the charge layer itself

Yes...I hope you got it

Chem was as usual bad in paper 1 involving some pretty bad inorganic chemistry . as a result i got 62 in paper 1 .
Physics was quite easy . the reason for my not so good in physics (66 in paper 2 and 68 in paper 1 ) was that i hadn't done fluids at that point coz i missed classes of surface tension. so i left 2 problems in paper 2 and one in paper 1 of it .

Log in to reply
Sorry to interupt but last year's AIITS 3 (class 11th one) Was horrible for us atleast. with a pretty bad pattern (10 Multi correct 10 integer) and -2 marking made it hell. for a top 50 rank only a score of 105 was needed of 210!
Log in to reply
Ya this year was exactly the same.I am scoring 151 as per the answer key.fiitjee sometimes surprises students with such pattern.I had last encountered such in class 9 aiits-3.and I had just screwed up the paper.and no sorry this is an open forum and you can post freely anytime.
Log in to reply
Can you tell what's the general scenario of students as they move from 11-12.as in our centre I used to see that a guy used to top I all exams.but in class 12 that guys best rank is 65(most probably).I can't just account for this.Is it that students do better in 12??
Log in to reply
My Rank almost remained constant in class 11 as well as 12 . My average rank in class 11 was about 15-20 and in 12th it is about 20-25 . but yeah sometimes it happens . my one friend used to get top 10 ranks in aiits in class 11 but he is getting 300-400 rank dont know why although he is too good at PCM.
One of my other friend was getting 300 rank class 11 but now he is consistently getting in top 50 .

Gave it but really really sucked it.Made many unworthy mistakes :(
How was yours ?
Log in to reply
Went well.I didn't do many mistakes as I attempted anly those I knew.but I think mi could have done better in chem if I had studied b-c family.

In this problem ain't answer coming out to be 4.75 something?
Exact answer : \(\sqrt{\frac{7(\pi (\pi + 2))}{5}}\) ??
If not,can you please post the solution bro? thanks!

OK as much as I recall I had got the and as 4.01.o I entered it as 4.

Hmm
Basically what i did was to use the fact that normal reaction is providing restoring torque here.
Am a right?
Log in to reply
Its the weight that will provide+there can be friction as well.as its not slipping.so what I did was wrote the energy and since friction is static I differentiated it.something that we do in Lagrangian mechanics.this is irrelevant here.but you can try out this approach.static friction ensures that energy is conserved
Log in to reply
Oh yes!Energy conservation is useful here.I forgot the torque due to friction.
What resources do you use in physics,also how can i improve in physics?
Log in to reply
I am passionate about the sub.currently I am working out a guide to physics problems part-1(springer) for inpho.is is a collection of problems from the PhD exams of MIT,Moscow tech etc.also I follow Arthur beiser(seriously try this if you wanna feel the essence of modern phy)and David morin.a simple advise I can give is love the subject ike you do basketball.then everything becomes interesting
Log in to reply
You know what i love physics and maths.
Being not good in physics can't steal my love for it.I enjoy every moment i spend on thinking hard on a tough physics problem and get the best feeling when i can sometimes crack them.
Log in to reply
Yeah!that's the spirit. don't worry dude you.eep working and you will surely succeed.and I think there is nt any notion like Mr x is not good is not good in this subject??BTW what are you doing for inmo??
Log in to reply
I am reading about inversions in geometry coz they seem to be pretty good for solving problems involving a circle and some points.But i did not studied for inmo in the last week bcoz of some backlogs in jee-maths and physics and chem..
Log in to reply
And chem?? 😀😀
Log in to reply
Organic chemistry seems to be good.
But hate inorganic from bottom of my heart and i am okay with physical.
wbu?
Log in to reply
I like chem.but don't pay enough time to it.so I secure a bit less.
Log in to reply
And what do you use for maths.....BTW I too love physics and maths a lot!!!!
Log in to reply
Grt!!for maths I don't do anything special.I was more focused on olympid maths in class 10 but now jee math is good.so I mainly do q from packages,some Olympiad problems related to jee.and class notes.

Grt....and all the best for your interview

Here is my experience
My score in aptitude test wasn't that good (about 71) due to my poor performance in biology (6 or 7).
But my interview went quite good (i was give 81/100 in interview).
My interview was held at one of my dream places IIT,Delhi . It was a nice day and my interview was scheduled in the evening slot from 3 pm . Me and my mother reached there via Metro at 2:30 pm and my dad came there directly from his office. Then in three Cars (most probably they were Toyota Innova's :P) groups of scientists and professors came who were going to conduct the interviews. After completing all the formalities (submitting some forms and documents) i was told to wait till my name is called up. My name was third in the list. i still remember the person before me entered at 3:30 pm and he came out at about 4:25. From his face it seemed that he had a terrible experience .my father consoled me and told me you will have a great interview go ahead . My name was called i entered the room . it was a big room with lot of books and there was a large parabolic table and my chair was the vertex all the professors were seating around that table and lot of food (Sabzi , roti , dal , juices ,cold drinks) were kept there . it seemed that they were having lunch while taking the interview. i was asked to sit down and then a professor read out by self appraisal form. As i had written my favourite subject as maths quite naturally they started with it . i was directed towards a lady professor and she told me to get onto the board. she told me to draw a 8*8 chess board (i am not good at drawing :P) . She asked me some trivial problems number of squares , number of parallelograms , number of rectangles . i dont remember but in one of these problems i replied the answer as n^2(n+)^2/4 . she told me can you link it with some summation . i readily said it is the square of the sum of first n natural numbers . she told very good and she said isn't it sum of cubes of natural number i readily said yes .then she asked me to derive this . i explained her two ways by induction and other by taking difference. she told me good and then she stopped. then i was directed to the chemistry professor. there was a coca cola lying on the table and he asked me what does it mainly composes of . i told him carbonic acid and gaseous co2. he told good and asked me how can i determine the molarity of carbonic acid in that bottle . i readily replied titration . he said i give you a known amount of NaOH Draw the titration curve . i drew the conventional curve for strong base and weak acid . he told there is a error in it can you figure out?. after thinking i said no sir i cant figure out he told me you wont be able to detect end point as its black colored . can you make appropriate changes in the graph ?
i could not figure out and i told him that . he said no problem and then i was directed to biology mam.she asked me to sit down and take some juice and be relaxed . after 1 minute she asked me what have i studied in biology . i readily said cell theory as that was the only topic i studied for interview. she asked me some basic questions what is a cell , tissue , organalle's , name some organalle's and there functions. in explaining all these i said the word disease . she turned the topic to disease and asked me what is a disease name any three viral , bacterial disease . in the last i told here cholera (bacterial disease) then she asked me which bacterium causes cholera . i couldn't recall and i told her . my interview was over and they asked me whether i will go for iit or not i told not yet decided :P
i was happy but not very satisfied came out my dad told me that my interview lasted exactly 18 minutes .
i had snacks at the iit canteen (burger , pizza) etc and came back home .
just remain confident dont give wrong answers thats it
all the best

How was inmo?
I don't know why the hell the coordinator changed timings here and it was from 12 to 4 here :(
And I could not know about this change thus lost 1 hour :'(
Did 1 complete ,2 almost complete and 75% of one.Could have done better if time was there :(
Log in to reply
Never mind.you put your best efforts and that's what matters.mine was fine.I was not prepared but somehow managed to solve 5,6,1,4,3.(the last I am not sure)but I think I could have solved all 6 if I had prepared right from the start.let's wait for results.BTW the timing for us was also 12-4.just chill now.

So how will you manage with IMO and IPHO?
Congrats for your selection in INMO!
So is IIT your aim?
You can post images easily by using this trick.I assume you know how to post pictures in questions , so just go and post any image you want to post in post a problem section and then copy the link thatll come and paste it to comments.
Log in to reply
No inmo is quite tough.cutoffs will be high and they don't give much partials.let's hope for best.I am not so serious abt it.ya I am targeting ipho.quite early to say as I am exploring different fields.but I want to do research in the field of physics.as for jee I don't mainly polarise my attention to that.

@Prakhar Bindal.how are your preparing for INO.I wanted to know abt astronomy.I had given INAO in class 10.but that was like the worst exam.for me.can you advise some thing.thanx.
Log in to reply
Actually i am not preparing for INAO And might not give it too . It has indeed clashed with my board practicals which cant be neglected and postponed. I Might give INCHO+I feel its high time for me just work on my weak topics for JEE coz this time only 6 days are there between board exam end and JEE Mains .
Log in to reply
Guyz @Prakhar Bindal @Spandan Senapati can you please suggest me how not to make silly mistakes in the exam and how to keep calm temperament during tests? Thanks!
Log in to reply
I won't be the perfect one to advise.but in exams I don't become so happy even if I solve e toughest problem.I just move in with the hope of completing the entire paper(if not at least trying it full)and for avoiding silly mistakes you need to be very careful right from filling the omr to completing the exam.just after you solve a q read the opt. carefully and then only mark.1-2 silly mistakes will ocurr even with toppers but notmaking many distinguishes them.also it would be beneficial if you solve subjective q as then you can reach the final Sol.

I Am trying to work on them . might be increasing concentration will help

mine was Average. Organic was doable but That coordination compounds question and last deuterium one sucked .
And yeah i felt paper was lengthy for 3 hours .
I Had a bad time struggling with calculator . they gave pretty bad values in physical and i am not good at using a calculator
