What was your JEE Main 2021 preparation strategy? Which subject did you focus on more and why?
My focus was only for JEE Advanced from beginning which helped me in JEE Main preparations. I did regular classes and completed home works on time. I also completed all study materials that my coaching provided. In addition to that, I studied from JEE Advanced books.
I focused on all three subjects - Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics equally. But I am a little inclined towards Physics.
Which books did you refer to while preparing for JEE Main 2021 exam?
I would suggest following books:
Physics: H C Verm Problems in IITJEE by Sashi Bhushan Tiwari
Mathematics: Coaching Materials
Chemistry: Organic – MS Chauhan, Inorganic – Cengage, Physical Chemistry – Neeraj Kumar
What is your future plan?
My primary focus is on JEE Advanced 2021 and scoring good marks in exam. I would like to do Engineering from any of old IITs (Bombay or Delhi). I will pursue a career in Computer Science courses.
What will be your message to future aspirants?
If you focus on your target and put all your efforts you can achieve your goal in any situation. When you are prepared for exam, you should not leave anything behind. If you are confident then you can handle any situation and circumstances.
