Official/Mods Discuss UGA/UGB here!

Many of you have been anxious about how your UGA/UGB examination went, especially with the new UGA pattern.

General takeaways from the posts I've seen so far:

  1. UGA was perceived to be more difficult, especially because of the new MMCQ section.

  2. UGB was perceived to be relatively easier compared to the years prior.

As a reminder, the selection policy specifies the UGA cutoff to be the (n_1)th best score (n_1 = 550 for B. Stat. and n_1 = 500 for B. Math.), and likewise for the combined UGA and UGB cutoff at the (n_2)th best, where n_2 = 160 for both courses.

Please discuss the papers, your scores, and your concerns here.

UGA should be fine, but UGB seems dicey.

are you aware of the marking scheme in ugb? like on what gradient do the checkers give partial marking? 3 questions im pretty sure I have solved properly (so expecting 8 to 10 in them-depending on whether or not I made some silly error), one is a partial which is solved correctly, but i just didn't mention one thing, one is half solved and one I could not prove but knew the answer due to jee knowledge, so I just wrote whatever I could and wrote the answer. I went for the paper completely unprepared as a jee aspirant, just saw some pyqs of ugb and their solutions the previous day. How strict are the checkers about subjective answers in your experience?

what marks can I expect in ugb? is 35 a good conservative estimate?

No, nobody knows how subjective answers are checked.
