I am from Pilani Campus, so my answer will be specific to Pilani.I had a GPA 9.69 in the first semester, and I didn’t find it very difficult to attain that GPA. Around 50 students had a GPA >=9.5 ( out of 1100), i.e. around 4.5%. Also, 9 students had 10 GPA.So, I guess it is not that hard, as it has been mentioned in many other answers.Assuming that you are a single degree student(except EEE) :You will have the following subjects :General Biology(3 units) (Specific)Electrical Sciences(3 units ) (Specific)Mathematics-I (3 units) (Common)Technical Report Writing (2 units) (Specific)Workshop Practice ( 2 units) (Specific)Physics Lab (1 unit) (Common)Chemistry Lab(1 unit) (Common)Biology Lab (1 unit) (Common)So, basically, you have 16 units in total (i.e. 160 points) , and you have to score more than 152 points to get more than 9.5 GPA.Specific means that EEE students and dualites don’t have these courses with you. (Total students : arround 550)Common means that they also have it with you. ( Around 1100)Normally, in a common course, around 80 people get an A.In specific courses, around 50 people get an A.Let’s now have a subject-wise breakdown:General Biology :This is probably the most interesting course in First Semester. The Biology Department has excellent faculty, and lectures are pretty interesting. For getting a good grade in Biology, it is very important to attend all the lectures and to go through the lecture slides. In our semester, A grade was awarded at a score more than 153/200, and A- at more than 141.Average score was 112/200. If you are regular enough, you can manage an A or A- easily.2. Electrical Sciences:This subject mainly tests your numerical-solving skills. The first half of the semester is pretty easy, and mostly based on class 12 physics. Second half (mainly electronics: diodes, various kinds of transistors) looks quite challenging, but once you practise a few questions, it seems easier than the first part. Last time, average score was 178/300. A was awarded at a score of around 240. Scoring an A should not be very tough, if you practise a good number of questions.3. Mathematics-I :This course, again, carries forward from class 12. In the first half, you learn after sequences and series, polar equations(an important chapter), vectors in polar form. The second half is essentially a grade-deciding part, which has differentiation in two variables and integration in two variables , and is mostly open-book(so, thorough understanding is required).Average score was around 170 ( out of 300) and A was awarded at 228. A- was awarded above 212.4. Technical Report Writing :This is the most unpredictable subject in first semester. Conventionally, it is believed that if your English is good, you would score well in this subject, but it is not necessarily true.This subject requires you to stick to the format(no lateral thinking, please !).It involves 2 assignments( worth 30 and 40 marks each), which are very crucial.I had top 10 finish in both of them, and even though I had an average score in mid-sem, and avg+9 in End-sem, I managed an A. A was awarded at around 145 out of 200, and average was 124). Avg+ 6 fetched a B Grade. In a nutshell, Grading is this subject is ‘Lite’.5. Workshop Practice:This is a practical-oriented subject, and it is essential to do well in the workshop, because if you build a good enough score for yourself, it will be very easy to get an A. But even if you don’t, you still have a chance to cover up in the compre. Grading is lite; 150/525 students in our batch got A.6. Labs :In Labs, a large number of students get a A. In physics Lab, we had A- at average in our batch. In these Labs, it is essential to be regular in completing the records, and that would do. Try not to lose any credit points in Labs ! (They are literally ‘easy’ points !!)Try to get full marks in tutorial tests ( that is very much manageable, and helpful).Be regular to classes.It is okay to miss some of the lectures if they are not helpful, but make sure that you don’t lag behind in the subject.Contrary to popular beliefs, it is not required that you remain locked in your room or the library, and study for hours and hours. Just be regular and attentive, and you would be through.All the best! May you succeed !!

IQ 133+ is the highest useful level on the WISC-IV (for most laypeople, IMO).Too few people at 133–151 in the normalization sample (11 people 133–138, 7 in 139–142, 3 in 143–150, 1 at 151, out of 2,200 people),I think ceiling effects are happening at 130 (and maybe earlier).Between 133–142, there are about 2 people per scoreBetween 143–151, there isn’t even 1 person per score.Higher scores (134–210) occur, but should be treated as theoretical constructs (e.g. by people with statistical knowledge) - especially ignore the “percentile information”.You CAN’T tell from an IQ score, whether an IQ 250 or IQ 130 or IQ 170 person is “smarter”. Because the type of intelligences smart people have…are NOT what the IQ test is testing.“Smart” is popularly used to include (1) intellectual speed (2) curiosity & originality (3) wisdom (4) deep learning of a field (5) broad familiarity with lots of areas (6) tact & humor (7) truth.An IQ-160 person can be very untruthful & unwise, whereas an IQ-80 person can have some incredible insights & be very truthful.Some professors are pretty slow, but they have dedicated a lot of time to deep learning in their field.I’m not confident with Pearson’s advertising claims on their 95% confidence intervals (technically, maybe “credibility intervals”).Entrance to gifted education programs for kids is where IQ tests may have a large real-world effect (rather than Quora people talking about IQ scores).2,200 people GAI133 (126-137, 99%) 22 people with 133+139 (132-143, 99.5%) 11 people with 139+143 (136-147, 99.8%) 4 people with 143+Highest score 151.Note: The ranges are Pearson’s 95% confidence intervals.- the people counts are based on percentiles in WISC-IV Technical Report #4, Updated 2008 https://images.pearsonclinical.com/images/assets/WISC-IV/80720_WISCIV_Hr_r4.pdf“Among the 2,200 cases in the WISC–IV standardization sample, only one child obtained a GAI score of 151 and none obtained an FSIQ score of 150 or higher.”- WISC-IV Technical Report #7, Extended Norms, 2008 https://images.pearsonclinical.com/images/assets/WISC-IV/WISCIV_TechReport_7.pdfI like this WISC-V (2014) chart.NO ranges above 130+. No stupid “genius” categories.It’s from “An Overview of the WISC V” - Anne-Marie Kimball, Pearson, which has a great LONG slideshow (59 slides) about changes in the WISC-V.https://nspa.wildapricot.org/resources/Documents/kimbell__wisc-v_nspa_handout.pdfAlso good (47 slides) is “Clinical Utility of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- Fifth Edition (WISC-V)” by Gloria Maccow, Pearson (2014)http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.tpaonline.org/resource/resmgr/Session132WISCVHandout.pdfP.S. Apparently WISC-V max index score is 155, and max FSIQ is 160. Not sure about GAI. Extended norms are still “in progress” (as of 3/2018).From what I could find on two of the indexes, ceiling effects begin at 146 (or earlier).Expanded Fluid Index 155 (146-158), 150 (141-154), 146 (137-150) - ceiling at 146-150 (95% confidence).Verbal (Expanded Crystallized) Index 155 (146-158), 151 (142-155), 146 (137-150) - ceiling at 146-151 (95% confidence).- information based on WISC-V Technical Report #1 https://images.pearsonclinical.com/images/assets/WISC-V/WISC-VTechReport1_FNL_v3.pdf"Linda Silverman is currently in the process of collecting WISC-V extended norm data. According to Pearson, she had collected 6 of an anticipated 50 cases by March 2016, using a convenience sample (presumably of clients otherwise referred). The research update document says the anticipated length of study/data collection was 1.5-2 years. So if she's only 6 cases in, she probably just started data collection, which means extended norms probably won't be out for a little bit--but at least they're in progress.” - aeh, 6/2016 WISC-V Extended Norms data collection in progress
