IIT JEE is a scam, its not about intelligence but parroting and solving unnecessary formulas.
In a usual physics book designed for IIT JEE preparation, each chapter contains an average of 50 complicated short cut formulas, and there are about 24 chapters, so in total there can be about 50*24 = 1200 formulas. An almost impossible challenge to be memorized by an average student, which makes the entrance so hard to crack. IIT JEE preparation is not about critical thinking, it's about remembering the formulas, and speed of executing the formulas. This is the 2018 solved paper: Not a single seems to have without formula. https://drive.google.com/file/d/16HkkgWtiOT7T4p0ajYhis9gTqBT2SPGo/view?usp=sharing Please go through the book: Paul Hewitt Conceptual Physics Each chapter contains not more than two to three important formulas, that's all required because all other short cut formulas are based on it. An example question from the book of Paul Hewitt, that helps you to understand conceptual understanding, not executing complicated formulas: An e...
