Q. What was your JEE Main preparation strategy? Which subject did you focus on more and why?

A. I had planned my studies in a systematic way. Each year lakhs of students sit for this exam. So, one’s preparation has to be solid in order to ace this. I used to study for over 12 hours a day. Yes, it was not easy but this exam is also not easy. I worked on my weakness as well. Earlier, I had not studied from NCERT, this time I consulted them. My weak spot was Physics, so I concentrated on it. I also spent extra time studying Biology.

Q: Which books did you refer to while preparing for the JEE Main 2021 exam?

A.After I decided to take the exam, I looked for books that would help. There were NCERT books as well as study material that was given by my coaching institute.

Q. What is your future plan?

A. I know it might sound strange that after clearing this exam I would want to pursue higher studies in Mathematics. I want to pursue a BSc in Mathematics from IISC Bangalore.

Q. What will be your message to future JEE aspirants?

A. The key to clearing this exam is simple: Study well, concentrate on NCERT books and study every day for 12-14 hours. On the exam day, relax, have a good sleep the night before the exam.
