An Inspirer, a Guide, a catalyst of Change, IIT-JEE stalwart with 4 decades of profound experience, a Thought leader, a powerful orator, and to top it all, a Leading Chemistry faculty.
Many names, 1 towering persona – Yes, it’s Bade Bhaiya, Mr. Brij Mohan, Co-founder, Vidyamandir Classes (VMC) – The Epicentre of IIT-JEE preparation.
Bade Bhaiya taps into his vast reservoir of experience and delves deep into why VIQ (Vidyamandir Intellect Quest), VMC’s flagship test, is a life-altering opportunity for students of classes 5 to 12 and why every student must appear in it.
Mr. Brij Mohan (Bade bhaiya) sums it up perfectly: “a test designed not only to measure your knowledge but to shape your future”
What is VIQ? India’s Leading Scholarship Test
VIQ stands for Vidyamandir Intellect Quest, where V signifies both Vidyamandir and Victory. And it is much more than just a NEET And JEE Scholarship Test.
It gives students a platform to:
- Evaluate their intellect and aptitude vis-à-vis students across the country.
- Identify strengths and weaknesses through a detailed performance report.
- Win scholarships which help students & their parents lessen the financial burden.
To sum up, it’s a mirror that shows where you stand today and how far you can go tomorrow.
Why Should Students Take VIQ Early?
Bade Bhaiya shares his rich experience over the last 40 years, stating that students who start preparing early—whether in Classes 5, 6, 7, or 8— secure an unparalleled advantage. Start early, finish first. At these stages, many children, including their parents, are still unsure of their career goals. But through exposure to a wide range of peers and competitive tests like VIQ, they begin to understand:
- What’s their true academic potential
- Which subjects are strengths and weaknesses
- How they respond to a real exam-like environment
- Where do they excel, where do they lack
By the time they reach standard 8 or 9, students face important academic choices—Science, Commerce, or Humanities. If they choose Science, they may aim for engineering or medical exams.
Early exposure to the VIQ test ensures students are better prepared for JEE, NEET, and board exams.
VIQ guides them to make these decisions intelligently and with confidence, rather than by chance or emotion.
What do VIQ checks?
Unlike routine school exams, VIQ is designed to assess both conceptual understanding and mental ability. The test includes:
- Logical reasoning and aptitude, which are crucial not just for engineering or medicine, but for any professional field today.
- Core subject knowledge of Science and Mathematics, matched to the student’s class level.
Sample papers are also made accessible to students so that they get familiarised with the format.
The Power of Detailed Feedback
One of the biggest benefits of VIQ is the comprehensive performance analysis. Students don’t just get a score—they get a ROADMAP. The report highlights:
- Subject-wise strengths & weaknesses
- Subject-wise mistakes, be it Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Mathematics.
- How can they improve before their next attempt?
This kind of diagnostic insight is rarely available in regular school exams.
Why Give VIQ Offline?
VIQ can be taken both online and offline, but I recommend the offline mode. Why? Because it simulates the real competitive exam environment.
Sitting in a hall with hundreds of students tests more than just academics. It challenges your psychological strength, focus, and ability to handle exam pressure. These are essential life skills, which no amount of at-home testing can build.
My Advice to Parents
Parents play a crucial role in guiding their children. My advice is:
- Don’t make emotional career decisions for your child—make wise ones.
- Expose younger children (Classes 5–7) to mathematics and English early.
- By Classes 8–10, observe whether your child enjoys mathematics and science. If not, let them explore commerce or other streams—but remember, even commerce requires strong math for subjects like economics.
The earlier you help your child discover their true interests and strengths, the smoother their journey will be.
Beyond Academics – The Social Edge
Joining such tests and academic programs also builds confidence, friendships, and social exposure. Students not only learn subjects but also develop personality traits like communication, collaboration, and resilience—qualities that are invaluable in every profession.
How to Register
To celebrate the spirit of freedom, VIQ will be conducted across multiple dates starting this August. Students can visit our website and select a suitable test date. Remember:
- There is no harm in attempting.
- Even if you don’t perform as expected in your first attempt, you can try again.
- Every attempt brings improvement, self-awareness, and confidence.
Words of Wisdom from Bade Bhaiya
My dear students and respected parents, life is shaped by the decisions we make early on. VIQ is not just a test—it is an opportunity to explore, learn, and grow.
So, register today, take the test, and wait for the detailed report. Sit with your parents, analyse the feedback, and plan the next steps wisely.
To all those appearing for VIQ 2025—I wish you the very best. May this be the beginning of your journey towards victory.
PS: Learn from VMC’s Top performer in JEE Advanced 2025, Ujjwal Kesasri, who himself cleared the VIQ, got a clear roadmap, studied hard under the guidance of Best Mentors at VMC and secured AIR 5 in JEE Advanced 2025. The pedagogy at VMC completely transformed him into a high-octane achiever as he smashed his way to Win a Silver Medal at 57th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO), held in Dubai, UAE recently. Today, he is living his dream by studying at IIT Bombay.
