Five Point Someone: What Not to Do at IIT is the debut novel of Indian author Chetan Bhagat, set in the highly competitive environment of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). Instead of being a guide to academic success, it tells a humorous yet poignant story about the struggles of three friends — Hari, Ryan, and Alok — as they grapple with intense academic pressure, rigid grading systems, strict professors, and the emotional highs and lows of college life

The narrative follows these friends as they quickly realise that excellence at IIT is not just about hard work, but navigating friendships, relationships, and personal challenges amid relentless expectations. The book paints a vivid picture of campus life, making readers reflect on how grades, ambition, and conformity affect both personal identity and friendships.

This novel is celebrated for its simple, engaging style, relatable characters, and critical yet entertaining look at the Indian education system. It inspired two popular film adaptations — 3 Idiots in Hindi and Nanban in Tamil — and became a bestseller in English fiction.
