4. Are you wondering about the title of the book? IIT uses a unique method of scoring students called Grade Point Average(GPA). The score one gets is based on the performance of the entire class. The top performer would get somewhere in high 9 point something and the bottom performers would be in 5 point something. Such people are disdainfully referred to as 5pointers and thus the title of the book “Five Point Someone”
