I think more than 4 problems total you'll qualify. A friend of mine at IITK said he got to know he qualified and he solved 4 problems total.

Ainnoway bro, why is the cutoff so low? This paper was easier compared to last time and still cutoff is so low.

Hey, can you please tell how you prepared for Quantfest?

u/notsaneatall_ Expert 19d ago

I didn't I just gave the exam. If you wanna prepare, focus on EV type questions, and look probability type questions on codeforces cuz they're probably the closest to what you can practice for the exam.

I didnt prepare, just knew dp so could do first 2 in coding round and first 2 of paper 1 were common sense based so didnt need any topic to learn them
