Harsh Barua, a JEE aspirant from Father Agnel School, Noida says, “We had only two weeks to prepare for the exam after our board exams got over. I could not even study the way I had planned to for the exam. I am a bit nervous but confident too that I would get through the exam.”
Mohit Kalra, a student of Vishwa Bharti School, Noida, has high hopes to crack the exam. “I took coaching classes to prepare for the exam. I don’t know why but I am not really tensed and nervous like my friends. It’s been a normal feeling all throughout the time that I have been preparing,” he says.
