Criticism...

sombudho tho chale iit !

which iit are u joining

kgp ??

i want to say sumthin tht it is gud to discuss higher level ques(means which r harder nd more tougher nd logical) but i think tht simple ques are continously being neglected by users .....this has happened in the case of mine only thtss why m saying this .............

everybody needs to understand that a prob lookin easy to sum1 may appear as tuff to another.................

@sonne...ya joining kgp EE

i agree that most of the easy Qs r left unanswered..b'cos ppl here come 4 more challenging problems...its like" arre bahut aasan hai..koi aur reply kar hi dega...lets try more difficult ones"

The thread was started to discuss about threads with non JEE problems. There's no point complaining about such behaviour as it takes all kinds to make the world.

Nishant has provided alternative sub-forums like Fundamentals, Olympiad etc to address the needs of members who like to discuss beyond JEE subjects. They can certainly use them.

Well, this is an online forum and so the same market forces that drive a market will be mirrored here. Seen from that point of view, the average IIT aspirant will leave the simple problems unanswered as he has nothing to gain by spending time thinking about them or typing out a solution.

Paradoxically, from the senior member's point of view, the feeling is, "this will anyway be answered sometime". Less charitably, "if you need to ask such questions, hmm, you might like to reset your goals".

So a practical solution is: If you really need a solution, get in touch with a senior member, and point out you need help. This can be over email too, if the member feels comfortable with it

@sandeep - you must try to know enough before you shoot off your mouth like that. Soumik had set his sights on ISI (he even started a blog of sorts if i remember). There will be some who find the present JEE pattern, which emphasizes speed over basics, quite distasteful. Its started a pattern of shortcuts teaching which is destroying the beauty of these subjects. JEE would have lost its appeal for such students.

Not all have the courage to follow their heart and I'm proud that Soumik stuck to his goal and achieved it.

yes.........

especially ricky aka gallardo.....solves high class probs

but not all can.....

btw....no contest needs such an high level at +2 stage....

and at higher levels ....eventually everyone scales the same height...

har koi ramanujan nahi hota , har ko hardy nahi hota....

hota toh normal insaan .....supergenius onki duniya alag hai.....

use alag rehene do....

well.......post a warning b4 every "hard" question

CAUTION: HARD QUESTION AHEAD
may damage your brain. Question contributor and site owners do not take responsibility.

similar for "hard" solutions :P

i think, sir u were hearing this criticism at this time of every year.

IITJEE is not about solving tough questions but much more than that. What you need is accuracy, speed & patience and obviously you need to master all the basics.

Not that very tough questions are asked, neither have been asked but IITJEE has some special level of difficulty which one automatically realizes when he is 100% into his preparations.

Asking or solving too hard questions may not help it. I wonder if IITJEE asks for over intelligence. But on forums like TIIT or goIIT this has been quite a fashion. A trend , following which you can get sympathy or respect from the community all of which are useless. And the thing which should hurt is that this over excellency is shown by regular members mostly.This over stuff makes the forum boring.

yup i agree

its not only abt IIT

we shudn't study to be successful

but study to be capable.............

No qualms about high level questions being posted; but you would do better by classifying them as per difficulty level, perhaps by a 5-star meter. Even then, newbies would abuse that system and post every question as a 5-star rated question, when all it would be is some simple but time consuming problem.
Rather I'd suggest you split targetiit into two different sub-forums. One for competitive preparation, and the other for questions on which the mind wanders, or for high level questions. Include the olympiad section in the second sub-forum. Even then, we would risk the chance of no one replying in that sub-forum due to high level questions.
You can't help about that. Like SR(soumikamandal) said, not everyone is a genius.
Sonne has given the most balanced solution for that...pursue your favourite subjects but give more time to competitive prep; after all the competitive prep will decide your career and the favourite subjects may not, because in this age you can get 30 Einsteins per 7 continents, as opposed to 1 Einstein per 7 continents in the 20th century. They will hog up your "This is my favourite subject, I'll excel in this, competitive prep doesn't matter" areas. Then only your competitive preparation will be left to save you.

On a sidenote, if you really want people to attempt high level questions, you will have to guide them on every such question and develop their interest in these problems. Not everyone will respond the same way however.

Kuch Jyada Hi Ho Gaya , [1][1] Mujhe Dar Tha Ki Aplog Mujhe High Class Problem Dene Ke Liye Nikal Na Dein . . . . . . . . . . . .( Just Joking [3][3] )

perfectly said by shubonmoy

but my sir used to tell the class : u can do ur Phd level thinking after u make into iit ...first make it and then do ur research

i feel this statement has everything inside it ...

neverthless there are guys (mostly in top 500 ) who manage to do both .....
