Bhaiya, the answer is 50 Mu naught and theta is 53 degrees.

How did you get it?

Bhaiya, B1 is 30 Mu naught.

B2 is 40 Mu naught.

Bnet is 50 Mu naught.

Tan theta is equal to B2 by B1, so theta is 53 degrees.

I didn't understand any of that.

Write it up on the board. Come on.

Explain it in detail.

I asked, "How did you get it?"

You still haven't answered my question.

Bhaiya, does it really matter how I got the answer?

Yes, it does!

This numerical will never appear in the JEE,

but it will appear in the board exams.

And the Boards matter.

Because if you don't score 75% in the Boards,

or score enough to be in the top-20 percentile,

your admission to IIT…

Forget about it.

But, Bhaiya, we can write this out in the Boards.

How will you write it out in the Boards?

Show me.

You haven't defined I1, I2, R1, and R2. You'll lose half a mark.

You haven't defined the magnetic field at the center.

Again, you'll lose half a mark.

You haven't written the formula for Bnet.

You'll lose half a mark here as well.

You didn't include the units either. Minus half a mark.

So, you get two out of four.

Which means 50 out of 100.

There goes your IIT application!

Sit back down.

Let's delve into the details of the what and the how.

Every answer consists of two parts.

"What" and "how."

When we solve for IIT,

the how is what our brains process,

and the what is what we are solving.

When writing for the Boards,

we'll need to present and explain both

the how and the what in our answers.

All derivations will need to be explained,

give explanations through diagrams, specify units,

and write out all the steps.

Only then will you score well in the Boards.

Start taking the Boards seriously.

There are many students who make it to IIT,

but fall short in their board exams.

Will you start preparing for the Boards now?

-Yes, Bhaiya. -Yes, Bhaiya.

Also, once the board exams are over,

we'll need to transition to the IIT pattern.

Because IIT is just as important, right?

-Yes, Bhaiya. -Yes, Bhaiya.

You want to get through, right?

-Yes, Bhaiya. -Bhaiya!

There's an important invitation for you.

-From whom? -The Education Minister.

I told him you're taking a class…

Welcome, Jitendra ji!

I'm Manvendra Chauhan.

I hold the position of secretary in the Rajasthan Education Ministry.

I got the opportunity to watch one of your interviews.

From your words, it seemed that you have some concerns with our policies.

So, I thought we could sit down face-to-face

and learn from you about how we should improve our work.

Sir…

No, sir.

My intention wasn't to teach you your job.

Sir, I just believe that

policymakers need to understand the problems

students face at the ground level.

What impact each policy will have on children, and how things will pan out.

Our policies will improve if we focus on these aspects.

That's all I was trying to say.

In fact, I quite liked the recent policies.

Due to your initiatives in the Rajasthan Education Act,

the rural school dropout rate has significantly decreased.

School infrastructure has improved. All of this is quite commendable, sir.

But…

I just feel that perhaps there is also

-room for improvement in that area. -Well, certainly.

I've invited you here today precisely because there is room for improvement.

Jitendra ji, my ministry

wants to draft a new education policy for students

preparing for competitive exams.

And a new committee is being formed for this purpose.

I see.

After I watched your interview, I feel that

someone like you should be a part of this committee.

Sir, thank you for your generosity, that you found me worthy.

I would certainly like to help you.

Not just help.

I'm hoping for your collaboration as well as your support.

I want to assign you a position on the committee.

Sir, I have a lot of interest in this work, but…

I'm just a teacher.

I'm only proficient in physics. I don't know much about policymaking.

That's good.

Not knowing is also a good thing.

As Socrates believed,

very few people know that they know very little.

Jitendra ji, in this committee,

we need your inputs as a teacher only.

There are many people in my team involved in policymaking,

but they are not as connected to students at the grassroots level as you are.

They don't have firsthand knowledge about students' problems.

And most importantly, they are not teachers.

Look, I believe that

when the country's teachers themselves participate in education policymaking,

it will certainly benefit the children.

Sir, if you have so much confidence, I would definitely like to support you.

Great.

The position I'm proposing to you has two requirements.

First, it is a full-time job.

Second, you will need to leave Kota and come to Jaipur

to become a part of my team.

Sir…

Sir, I…

I'm very thankful for this opportunity, but I have my coaching here.

All my students are here, and I have responsibilities towards them.

I cannot leave them behind to come to Jaipur right now.

I'll do whatever is within my capacity while staying here.

Is that okay?

Look.

I understand your concerns,

but let me remind you that by going there,

not only will you be addressing the issues of about 500 to 1000 Kota students,

but you will also be helping lakhs of students across the state

and solving their problems.

You'll be able to provide them with proper guidance.

Yes, sir,

I understand that this will have a significant impact, but…

staying here is crucial at the moment. I won't be able to come to Jaipur.

Rajesh bhaiya, let's start the timer.

I'll settle all the accounts by Sunday.

-Okay. -For sure.

I'll only play for two hours today.

Good for you! The less you play, the fewer losses you'll have.

After all,

Australia won't find much enjoyment in defeating Zimbabwe!

I swear, I'll make you cry so much today

that people will wonder if you failed the JEE!

Stop blowing your own trumpet.

There it is!

Are you getting cold feet already?

-Yes, Dad? -How are you, beta?

I'm fine, Dad. How are you?

I'm good.

-Tell me one thing. -Yes, Dad?

Do you think that you're in the game?

What, Dad? Game? What game?

IIT JEE, beta.

You believe you can get through, right?

Yes, Dad. I'm your son after all!

You saw how well I performed in the test series!

Right now, my focus is just on the Boards.

I've just come to pick up some notes for that.

That's great. Do you have cash, or should I send some more?

That sounds good, Dad.

Send some my way.

Okay. You got it.

-You take care. -Yes, Dad.

-Okay. Bye. -Okay. Bye.

Is everything clear to everyone?

Yes, sir!

Let me know if you have any doubts.

No, sir!

Sir!

I don't understand the 14th question.

Does anyone else not understand this?

Sir.

Sir, me!

It's easy.

If you don't know the complete integration here, then apply integration by parts.

Sec square X will be the second function.

Is it clear?

Can you solve it now?

Yes, sir!

It was a pretty easy question.

Why aren't we able to solve simple questions?

Because you're not focusing on math.

Do you guys know that IIT Bombay is setting the paper this year?

Before this, the last paper set by IIT Bombay was in 2015.

Look it up.

They threw in such a tricky question that it had students sweating!

For the first time,

students encountered a negative marking of minus two on the paper.

-How much? -Minus two!

Moreover, every question had multiple answers.

This means that even if they got one answer right,

they couldn't move forward without checking all the other options.

Anyway, forget that.

I'll let you in on a secret.

There were two math questions in that paper

that even took a senior faculty member here an hour to solve.

But all of you

are expected to solve them in under three minutes,

under the pressure of the exam. How many minutes?

-Three minutes. -Only three minutes!

So, guys,

focus!

-What are you saying? -Yeah, man!

I was losing my mind!

How difficult could it be, Vaibhav? He must have simply said that.

How about this?

Let's try and solve the 2015 paper.

You're right.

We should try and solve it.

Listen, come over quickly.

Let's see what kind of paper IIT Bombay sets!

-I'll leave now. -See you soon.

THOSE WHO DISTURB US WILL CLEAR JEE BUT NOT THE BOARDS!

Bhanupratap Singh!

I will take you down today!

You think it'll be easy?

Let's go.

Come on!

-Come on! -Keep going!

No!

Go back!

-Come on! -Come on! Take this! Yes!

There's no winning against Uday!

Wow, Uday bhai!

You've been landing headshots after headshots today!

What can I say?

This calls for a celebration.

Really? Tell me, where do you want to get samosas and kachoris from?

-What? -Yeah.

Who has samosas and kachoris at this hour?

Let me show you how to party.

No, Bhanu bhai. I don't drink.

Really?

All right then.

-Would you please drop me off? -Sure, hop on.

Meena, you scored 93.

And you've got 87.

The cutoff is 115.

I'm the king of the world!

Why is this seat vacant? Come here. Sit here.

Come forward.

Meenal, is the revision class helping with your preparation?

Yes, Bhaiya. It is.

What about Vaibhav, Uday and Meena?

I'm sure it's helping them as well.

Why aren't they here today?

No idea, Bhaiya.

If there's anyone who thinks they can revise on their own at home,

I won't hold revision classes, do it at home on your own.

Ask the boys to come and see me.

Bhaiya, please hurry.

What's wrong?

Come with me.

Did they say anything?

-Ma'am, Uday Gupta? -Wait a minute.

Bhaiya!

It's okay.

How did this happen?

Stop smiling. Couldn't you have been more careful?

Look what you've done!

What…

Bhaiya…

Lie down.

How are you?

I'm fine, Bhaiya.

What did the doctor say?

I have a hairline fracture in the leg

and a head injury also.

I fell unconscious after the accident,

so they'll keep me under observation for two days.

What have you done to yourself, Uday ji?

I didn't do anything.

I was just heading towards Talwandi Circle.

A rickshaw driver came from behind and rammed into my scooter.

I fell and blacked out. I couldn't understand anything.

I get it.

Did you inform your parents?

Yes, they were the designated emergency contact.

They've stepped out to get him some juice.

Juice?

Well, anyway, get better soon.

-You have exams on the horizon. -Yes, Bhaiya.

Uday ji, I'll bring offerings from Lord Ganesha's temple for you.

-You'll be absolutely fine. -Oh, Meena…

Mom, didn't you bring any juice?

You said Mom went out to get juice.

Why do you want juice when you can have alcohol?

You want to drink juice now, but you'll drink behind our backs!

Why did you lie to us, Uday?

"A rickshaw driver came from behind and rammed into my scooter!"

Who was drunk?

Was the auto rickshaw driver drunk or were you?

You…

Did it occur to you even once that your parents have sent you here

with so much trust? What have you been doing here?

Children who take advantage of their parents' trust end up like this!

Just before your exams, you've got a fractured leg!

What if your head had been split open,

or you had a deep injury on your head, who would answer me here? Tell me!

Answer me!

There's no point in telling him anything.

Yeah, sit there with your head hanging low!

You had us worried sick! We rushed here in a hurry!

Do you even know what we went through?

You'll understand when you have your own children!

Maybe then you'll gain some perspective.

And you've suddenly become a juice enthusiast!

You weren't at fault for that boy's accident.

You were just conducting your class.

It was the boy's fault.

Why do you think that you have failed?

No, I understand that it was his fault.

But I should be guiding my students.

I think responsibility isn't just about scolding someone for making a mistake.

It's important to understand the kids.

Understanding them, making them understand right from wrong,

guiding them, and looking after them is very important.

And who will take care of you, Jeetu?

For your students,

having you as their "Jeetu Bhaiya" is a wonderful thing.

It provides them with support

and helps them.

But right now, handling this responsibility

is difficult for you.

You've had a setback because of it,

and now you're recovering from it.

Let me explain it to you in your language.

When an athlete gets injured,

it takes them months or even years to recover.

If they keep playing on the field repeatedly during the healing process,

then the injury will never heal properly.

During this time, an athlete should rest totally.

Only then will they be able to match their previous performance.

I just can't do it, ma'am.

How long will all of this take?

Right now, it's difficult to predict.

Unfortunately, we can't put a timeline on these things.

I have a suggestion.

Until you are fully healed,

let Jeetu Bhaiya rest a bit.

We can try an exercise where you detach yourself from your students,

only become Jeetu sir,

and take responsibility of their studies,

and assist them in their exams.

Can we try that?

Sugar levels are now under control.

Your blood pressure is also normal.

You seem okay now, Dad.

I know that already.

When do you want to go to Jaipur?

End of June.

Why aren't you taking a permanent position at AIMERS?

What's the issue there?

The problem is not with AIMERS,

but with Kota.

What is the problem?

Dad, as you're aware, Kota has turned into a factory now.

In the past,

children were nurtured and developed gradually.

Now, there's a trend towards mass production.

Different factories are racing against each other.

Some are claiming to have the best workers.

Some, the best technology. And others, the best materials.

Everyone here has made so much noise about it that

it has become difficult for me to teach here.

Everything has become so mechanical.

The…

The honest feeling behind teaching,

the sheer joy of imparting knowledge to someone,

it's all fading away among the factory's smoke.

I won't be able to focus here, Dad.

Did you face the same problem at AIMERS?

Not at AIMERS…

because it's relatively new.

But eventually, the same problem will arise there

because it's ingrained in Kota's DNA.

But evolution can change DNA.

Tomorrow, when the education industry in Jaipur evolves,

its DNA will also change.

Mass production will begin there as well.

Gradually, everything will become mechanical there too.

You'll find the same kind of people and atmosphere there.

What will you do then?

Look, beta,

no matter where you go,

whether it is Jaipur, Chennai or Hyderabad,

you cannot escape this atmosphere.

All you can do is prepare yourself for it

so that no matter what conditions you face in life,

you can handle them gracefully.

Otherwise,

when are you going to stop running from pillar to post?

Tomorrow, everyone will revise thermo and come, okay?

-Yes, Bhaiya. -Yes, Bhaiya.

These classes are very important.

Make sure you don't miss them.

Yes, Bhaiya.

-Vaibhav. -Yes, Bhaiya?

Make sure to inform Uday about all this.

-He shouldn't miss anything. -Yes, Bhaiya.

Okay then. See you tomorrow.

Vaibhav, when do we go to meet Uday ji?

Uday is unbelievable!

Why did he have an accident right now?

-We're already under so much pressure. -That's true.

We'll leave at 5:00 p.m. and be back by 6:30 p.m. Okay?

-Yes, for sure. -Okay?

So, what's up?

All's well.

I have a slight headache because I didn't sleep well last night.

All night, I was thinking about where the colors of life have gone.

You know,

-everything seems black and white-- -Okay, enough!

I just wanted to know how things are.

Well, that's how things are.

By the way, I heard you couldn't solve the 2015 paper.

Yes, we couldn't! Why don't you try your hand at it?

How about you go back in time and win the 2015 World Cup too?

-Easy, bhai! -Easy!

May I offer you some advice?

Why don't you guys try solving the Boards paper for once?

Who knows, they might not even score 75%!

Guys!

Have you seen the JEE exam schedule?

There's a five-day gap between the Boards Practical and Mains 1.

And in Boards and Mains 2, there's only a 15-day gap.

-What! -What!

Show me that.

Have they lost it?

What do they expect?

-When will we prepare? -Vaibhav, chill.

Don't lose your temper.

-Calm down. -Guys, did you check the exam schedule?

Yes, I did. I checked the schedule!

What am I supposed to do about it?

Tell me! Should I turn it into a paper plane?

Or should I turn into one myself?

The authorities have designed this date sheet to trouble us, right?

They will surely succeed. In fact, they already have!

First, they say take the JEE exam with 11 lakh students

and come in the top 1%.

Top 1%, mind you! All right, let's agree to that.

Then they say, no, that's not enough for securing admission!

You also need to score 75% in the boards!

What kind of two-factor authentication of theirs is this?

When they are conducting such a massive JEE exam,

why do they still require 75% in the Boards?

Why? Meena, if someone scores a century at Lord's in front of them,

they would still say, "First, show us that you can score 75 runs in street cricket."

And after all of this,

they'll inform us that this year, IIT Bombay is drafting the question paper!

Even teachers find it difficult to solve its math paper!

If teachers can't do it, then how can I? How?

I don't even know why the zero factorial is equal to one!

Tell me why!

The students who have been trying to strengthen their math skills for months

aren't able to solve the questions!

What's the point of being strong in such math?

What's the point of studying for two years

when they're going to schedule the exams like this?

They should have scheduled both exams on the same day!

The kids would have failed quickly and gone home!

They should have used a bit more wisdom!

Should students focus on preparing for the Mains or the Boards?

Should they focus on the what or on the how?

This combination of "what" and "how" has completely messed with my mind!

If they don't want 12th-grade students to pass the JEE,

then they should have said so in the beginning.

I would have just quietly studied in Itarasi.

Why would I come here for IIT? Why?

Meena, like you suggested,

I'm ready to write this love letter after motivating myself for half an hour!

But first, someone please tell me whom I'm supposed to write it to!

Whom am I supposed to woo?

The Boards, IIT, or the ones who made this date sheet?

Tell me! Come on, tell me!

I'm telling you,

these people just don't understand us!

They think Vaibhav is a robot, they can make him do whatever they want!

Vaibhav will first appear for Mains, score a 99 percentile there.

Then he'll titrate in the Boards Practical.

Next, he'll sprint in physical education!

Then he'll write derivations in the Boards to get 75%.

And after that,

within 15 days, he'll appear for Mains again and score a 99 percentile there too.

But how do I achieve a 99 percentile? How?

Bhaiya, Vaibhav-- He won't shut up.

He's been ranting about the Boards, JEE, and the date sheet.

Please go and reason with him.

The date sheet is the same for everyone.

What can I do about it?

Tell him to concentrate on his studies. Let's go.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't you guys tell me which IIT paper you think can be taken lightly?

If the IIT paper is easy,

then even those students whose preparation is below-average

will be able to solve all the questions.

In such a scenario, you'll have to compete with them for selections.

And if the paper is tough,

then the students with below-average preparations will be filtered out.

That's beneficial for you, right?

So, I think the tougher the paper is for you guys, the better it is.

Sir, you're right.

But, sir, we couldn't even solve the 2015 paper.

And we are far from the cutoff.

There's still time for the exam.

It's not tomorrow.

There's time. You'll ace it.

The students from the 2015 batch didn't foresee a paper like that!

At least you guys are mentally prepared.

Preparing for the JEE

is like walking on a tightrope. It's not easy.

You shouldn't worry about what's happening around us,

who's setting the paper,

the timetable, the upcoming board exams,

the level of preparation of each student, and those who haven't prepared enough.

If you focus on all this,

walking on this tightrope will become difficult.

JEE's job is to test you.

So, let them.

You focus on your work.

Take it one step at a time,

and you'll reach the other end.

You understand?

From today,

ignore the environment around you

and focus solely on your preparation.

Okay?

-Understood? -Yes, sir.

Go.

I'm sorry, sir.

Good job.

Hi.

How are you feeling?

Uday ji, here you go.

Offerings from Lord Ganesha's temple.

You'll run in no time. Take it.

What's wrong?

My parents are pulling me out of Kota.

What?

What do you mean?

They decided that I will live in Udaipur with them.

-What! -Uday ji…

this is the most crucial stage of your preparations.

What about your studies?

Nothing, Meena.

Didn't you tell them you wouldn't make such a stupid mistake again?

I did.

They don't trust me anymore.

Uday ji, if they don't heed your words,

I will talk to them. They'll change their mind.

-Yes, Meena? -Hello, Jeetu Bhaiya.

Uday ji's parents are pulling him out of Kota.

Please come here soon.

-I'll see what can be done. -Okay.

They might change their minds if you talk to them.

His condition is stable.

We'll prepare his discharge form for tomorrow morning,

then you can take him home.

Please submit this file outside.

Thank you, Doctor.

How are you, man?

-I'm fine, Bhaiya. -He's not fine at all.

I'm Jitendra, his teacher.

Yes, I know who you are.

You are Jeetu Bhaiya.

Who doesn't know you?

Uday always speaks highly of you.

Whenever we talk on the phone,

he tells us all about your lessons, the advice you impart to them,

and how you personally take care of everyone.

But it has now become apparent that you didn't take care of him at all.

Ma'am, he attends class every day.

I thought he was studying.

He wasn't studying here at all.

He spends the whole day playing games,

missing tests, and now he has…

even started drinking here.

God knows what else he has been up to!

You know, Jeetu Bhaiya, parents work really hard,

and we place our trust in you by sending our children here

with the expectation that they will study diligently and achieve great things.

We aspire for their success, but see what goes on here!

You tell me, to whom should I entrust responsibility for my son here?

There's no one here to take care of him.

He will get trapped in even worse company here.

-Ma'am-- -Sir ji!

He was also intoxicated at the time of the accident. You can ask him.

Uday, tell your Jeetu Bhaiya!

Mom…

-What? -Just answer her question!

If something were to happen to him tomorrow, who would even care?

You'll just stand quietly in front of us.

It only matters to us.

Let it go. There's no use in saying anything to him.

Ma'am, you're right.

I'm just their teacher.

Thousands of kids come here. I can't look after everyone as their Bhaiya.

He's your son, you can do as you please.

I suggest you take him away.

-What… -Bhaiya!

What?

Jeetu.

Jeetu!

Jeetu!

Jeet…

Please come with me.

It's all right, ma'am.

Just come.

You stay here.

I'll head to his room and pack up his belongings.

Okay.

Okay?

And I'll bring some fruit from the market.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Actually…

I'm a little curious.

Bad company is indeed a big problem for children.

How do you plan to solve this problem when you get back home?

Look, when the surroundings change,

both bad company and bad habits will gradually diminish.

Aren't there any gaming parlors in your city?

I don't know.

Don't they sell liquor there?

They do.

In plenty.

But we will be there

to look after him.

As you mentioned before, thousands of kids come here.

You sure don't have the time.

But he's our only son.

We'll take care of him.

You're right.

If he stays in his hometown, you can keep an eye on him.

Moreover, you can impose restrictions on his activities,

which will keep him under control.

But he has to go to college in the near future, ma'am.

He might fall into the wrong crowd at college.

He'll land a job after college.

He might encounter bad company there as well.

Ideal conditions are only found in the lab, not in life.

To what extent will you monitor him?

Ma'am,

unfortunately, we can't always keep an eye on our children.

Even if we want to,

we can't always protect them from bad company.

I mean,

as parents and as teachers,

all we can do is prepare them for life and instill positive values in them

so that no matter what conditions they face in life,

they can handle them gracefully

and make their lives better wherever they are.

Otherwise, he'll keep running away from one place to another.

You're right, madam ji.

We don't want to monitor him constantly throughout the day.

We want what's best for him, but he should also desire the same.

Sorry, Mom.

Sorry, Dad.

Forgive me.

I'll not do it again. I'm sorry.

Give me one chance.

I promise. I'm sorry.

Okay, that's enough.

Mom, I'm really sorry.

Mom…

Listen.

We're giving you one last chance. Do you understand?

Okay, Mom.

Do you understand?

-Yes. Mom. -I'll stay here with you

-until your exams are over. -Yes, Mom.

Now cut the drama and get some rest.

-You want some juice? -Yes, please. Ask Dad to get some.

All right.

Thank you, Pooja didi.

Thank you.

-How are you? -I'm good.

-Please take care of him. -Yes.

-We will, didi. -And focus on your studies.

-Sure thing, didi. -Yes.

Shall we go, Pooja didi?

Okay.

Now that you've promoted me from "ma'am" to "didi," tell me one thing.

What happened to you in there?

I don't understand what's going on either.

Jeetu--

When I get attached to the kids as Jeetu Bhaiya, that attachment affects me.

I have been told to detach myself and work until I am okay again.

When I detach myself,

I turn into Jeetu sir.

I don't want to be him.

And even if everything somehow gets better

after doing all this, what is the guarantee that…

the same thing won't happen again?

Imagine there's a man who drives to work every day.

One day, by chance, he ends up in an accident.

Even though it was someone else's fault…

whenever he drives again,

he still fears that he might be in another accident.

What should he do in such a situation?

I mean,

going to work is very important.

He will figure something out.

I'm sure you will figure something out too.

I'm sure.

Don't worry.

Gradually, it will spread to the remaining walls as well.

You have two options.

Either keep getting it painted repeatedly or move out of here.

I don't know what to do.
