Q. What was your preparation strategy for getting good marks in JEE Main?

Guramrit Singh: As far as JEE Main is concerned, I have followed NCERT to have a better understanding of concepts.

Past years’ JEE Main question papers were sufficient to focus on minimising mistakes by analysing the mistakes and if better conceptual clarity is required.

Q. Who has been the driving force behind your success in JEE Main?

Guramrit Singh: Teachers in the coaching motivated me a lot to perform better in the exam.

They also suggested us take breaks of at least one day if I have studied for quite a long time such as two weeks or more.

Q. Describe your daily routine while preparing for JEE Main.

Guramrit Singh: My daily routine looked something like this:

• Classes in the morning
• 7 hours study time after that. In this time, I used to complete my homework, assignments and revise the chapters taught earlier in the day
• 2 hours outdoor activity like football, cricket

Q. What is your preparation strategy for JEE Advanced?

Guramrit Singh: For JEE Advanced, I am practising application-based or conceptual questions as the exam comprises such types of questions. I am also practising a good number of previous year question papers and taking the mock tests to have an idea of the JEE Advanced.

Q. What are your future goals? Which college and course do you wish to pursue in future?
