My experience -
In P1, chose 1, 2,3,5,6
The p1 sec b was designed such a way you have to face 1 bouncer question of 15 marker.
So went with q6, as I thought will try to solve virtual work if time permits.
So , in last 5 min tried to do something, agr time hota aur 5 min ,could have solved (15 marker)
Q5e (ii) two principal normals - no idea
Rest I find it doable , so good attempt over 220+ , if image plane wala question we take like what mathocrat has solved .
Paper 2
I saw first question, relieved , then I saw q2, q3 and I shivered my deepest corner of my soul and I panicked , how i am going to attempt the exam.
Then thought to solve q5 compulsory, solved all 5 ( due to misreading - 5e went wrong, I started to find stream function 😭) and a silly mistake in one of binary
Then was relieved with Q7 and Q8
Q7a PDE , was unable to make c1 and c2 in one equation, so wrote separately both conditions
Q7 (c) , could not find pressure of velocity flow - bhut gnda calculation
Q8(a)- I had no clue how to solve it , as it was not reducible to canonical
8b and 8c were easy
Then went to q4 , all 3 were doable , surprised with space given in Reimann integral and Assignment problem( very less)
So , around 200-205 correct in P2 , could have been 220-225 .
Problem is even after scoring this much there is chance , one may not be selected. Gs+essay me 510-15 lane honge and I don't see that happening with me with math
@Animesh_Maths Yes correct, one of my friend did that using bernaulli , he chose 1,3,4,5,7 and did great job .
I also attempted 220 , I had no idea about canonical and just left at euler equation. Rest I think there was not a lot of scope in error in questions which I chose 1,4,5,7,8.
Personally I feel P2 220 was doable , some people I know who did it. Even in my scenario, I misread Q5e otherwise 215+ correct was possible.
This was my first attempt and have not got marks in maths so I am not eligible to speak about whether maths is good optional or not. But till now intrinsic voice is positive about it .
@tedmosby bhai , I agree with your every statement. I have the same fear , even after too much optimistic hypothesis, I get 300 in math there are. Equal chances not to be clearing Even mains ( I saw 2 marksheets like this of 2023). GS4 and Essay I fear the most .
