JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Topper Interview Shreyas Mishra

Q: Congratulations on your JEE Main 100 Percentile. How do you feel?

A: I feel very happy since I worked hard to achieve this result.

Q: How did you prepare for JEE Main 2026?

A: I prepared for JEE Main through Allen Kota. The level of test series provided by Allen was quite good. It helped me a lot during my practice and preparation.

Q: How did you manage mistakes while preparing for JEE Main?

A: Whenever I made any mistakes in mock tests, I tried to classify it. I used to classify it as either silly mistakes, ideas not striking or calculation errors. For silly mistakes, I used to revisit the question again after two or three days to correct it. As for unattempted questions, I checked for its references in NCERT. If I did not find the references in NCERT, then I used to ask my teachers. If I found any question difficult in Physics and Mathematics, I used to try to find multiple solution methods to solve it.

Q: What was your preparation plan a day before the JEE Mains exam?

A: A day before the JEE Mains exam, I avoided talking to others. I just revised my notes and the important points that I had marked. I slept early at around 10 PM and woke up at 6 AM so that I got a good and sound sleep to have a fresh mind.

Q: How did you handle tough questions during JEE Main?

A: Whenever I faced difficult questions in JEE Main exam, I did not hesitate to skip it for the time being. I believe that rather than spending time on a question I have difficulty solving, it is better to attempt easier questions. This helps to build my confidence and manage my time.

Q: Are you preparing for JEE Advanced? How have you started your preparation?

A: After JEE Main, I took a break for two or three days. After the break, I started to review those Chemistry topics, which were not required for JEE Main, but are present in the JEE Advanced syllabus. I have also attempted many mock tests until now in preparation for JEE Advanced.
