Q. What was your rank in JEE Main 2017? Can you share your JEE Main and AP EAMCET 2017
JEE Mains 2017 rank: 36. JEE Main 2017 score: 330 marks. According to the released answer keys, I scored 158 marks but after normalization my score was 152. My rank in AP EAMCET 2017 was 3.
Q. How long have you been preparing for?
I was aiming to crack IIT admissions and the will to achieve my goal was enough to work hard and get a good rank in AP EAMCET 2017. I got enrolled into an IIT JEE preparation programme since I was a class 9th student. My plan of action was to have a thorough grip on the concepts and also to keep no backlogs for doubts.
Q. What was your preparation strategy for the exam? What is the minimum time frame needed to prepare for both the exams?
The time needed depends on the student’s caliber to work hard and their will to achieve the set goal. I feel that two years are enough to prepare for a determined and hardworking student.
Q. Which institute are you vying for and which is the course you aim to pursue?
I want to study Computer Science Engineering from IIT Bombay. It is my dream institute among all the other IITs.

We used our own study material and self-created notes. My strategy was to solve as many mock tests as possible.
Q. Do you think coaching is required to crack JEE & AP EAMCET 2017?
I think coaching is required to crack IIT JEE. While preparing for JEE, most of the topics are covered for various other engineering entrance exams like AP EAMCET or maybe VITEEE.
Q. So, tell us something about your family?
We are a family based in Delhi. My father is an Electrical engineer and my mother is a teacher. I have an elder brother who is pursuing his BTech.
Q. What plans for the future? What do you want to become?
Till now it was only about cracking IIT-B admissions and pursuing BTech in Computer Science. Maybe, I will be able to plan further during my 4 year BTech programme in college.
