AceGrade vs IITM BS Students' Corner

Short answer: AceGrade (also written Ace Grade) is a free, student-run IITM BS website known for its WhatsApp study groups, its PYQ quiz simulator and its grade calculator. IITM BS Students' Corner is free too, needs no login at all, and is the better pick for notes, official lectures sorted by week, a grade calculator for every course and plain-English guides. Plenty of students use both.

AceGrade PYQ and quiz simulator

AceGrade lists end-term papers to download for each course. For Maths 1, the newest paper listed was from September 2024 when we checked. Its quiz simulator turns previous year questions into timed quizzes, and it needs the student email login.

We don't host previous year papers. You can practise them on QuizSpace (opens in a new tab).

AceGrade grade calculator and grade predictor

AceGrade has a grade calculator, which works out the end-term marks you need for a target grade, and a grade predictor, for Data Science and Electronic Systems courses.

Ours does both in one place, for every Data Science and Electronic Systems course, with no login: enter your quiz, assignment and OPPE scores and it shows the end term marks you need for each grade, using the formula from the official grading document.

AceGrade groups and WhatsApp community

AceGrade runs study groups for Data Science and Electronic Systems: you pick your level and up to four subjects to join. It says it has more than 14,000 members on WhatsApp. We don't run groups.

AceGrade study room, mock tests and app

We could not find a study room, IAT mock tests or a separate app on AceGrade's website when we checked. If you are weighing up the IAT route into IIT Madras, this guide explains how it differs from the online BS:
