To be in these respective merit lists, candidates must score at least 5% in each subject and 17.5% in aggregate. (viii) Tie-break : The tie-break criterion in the various merit lists adopted for awarding ranks to the candidates who have scored the same aggregate marks is as follows: Higher rank for higher marks in Mathematics, followed by marks in Physics and same rank in case both the candidates have the same marks in each of the three subjects. Note: Obtaining a rank in JEE (Advanced) - 2017 does not guarantee admission to any of the courses available in IITs and ISM Dhanbad. 6

YG ( YOUNG GENIUS ) FILE YOUR ACE OF TRUMPS No preparation for JEE can be considered complete without Brilliant's legendary Y.G. File Objective Preparation for the JEE involves intensive training in answering objective type questions, and solving tough problems, both short and long, combining speed with accuracy. Whatever be the degree of preparation of the student, there is always an element of surprise in the actual JEE Question Paper. This element of surprise will stimulate, but not demoralise, if the student has had sufficient experience in tackling problems of the JEE standard. It is precisely this experience that our Y.G. File aims to provide. The Compendium The Y.G. File does not contain any detailed theory but it has hundreds of problems of the brain teasing type. To help solve Y.G. File problems, we provide a Ready Reference Compendium, a collection of important formulae, equations and data in Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. All New Problems Each year, Brilliant s Y.G. File offers you a collection of 1500 tough problems to tackle in Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. Y.G. File comprises Y.G. File Part I and Y.G.File Part II, each consisting of objective questions in each of the three subjects. The objective questions step-by-step will be presented topic-wise, so that the student can attempt the problems in any topic as and when he/she feels comfortable with his/her level of preparedness in that particular topic. Questions and problems that cover more than a single topic will be given together, at the end of each subject. In Y.G. File - Part I, there will be a total of 750 Questions (250 Questions in each of the three subjects Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics). Y.G.File - Part II will have another 750 Problems on a similar pattern. The solutions to all the questions will be sent with the respective questions. 13

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY... June 10, 2010 The Test Series helped me prepare myself before the final IIT-JEE. It helped me get the right temperament and focused mind required to give two-three hour tests. The Course helped me tune my mind for the actual exam. The problems helped in exhaustive topic coverage. The Sit-down Tests are good. The course material provides necessary multiconcept coverage and time bound practice. The Y.G File problems helped in proper practice in the final stages of preparation. (A.I.R 3) Himanshu Gupta, EYGB10 02314 June 16, 2010 Brilliant s books were very good, to the point, especially in Chemistry. The Mind Maps are excellent.

The tests gave me a good idea of my strengths and weaknesses. The course I joined in class IX and X helped me build my basic concepts. I would recommend the correspondence course to others as all topics are covered in a small number of books. Brilliant s Chemistry books are excellent and they played a major role in the drastic improvement that I underwent in organic chemistry in class XI. (A.I.R 5) Vipul Singh, EELB10 00148 June 02, 2010 The Course helped me in giving appropriate practice for preparation for JEE, and securing a good rank.
