According to him, he didn’t specifically prepare for VITEEE. VITEEE 2018 prep got covered under his preparations for JEE. JEE Mains being held a few days before his slot for VITEEE 2018 was of great help.

Sharing his views on the need of coaching institutes to crack major engineering entrances, he said, “ I probably do not think that coaching classes are required. But it definitely makes things easier by compelling you to work more and motivating you”. He further shared that to crack competitive exams like these, one should believe that these exams is taken best without any expectations and tension. In VITEEE, It’s important to not make silly mistakes as it is an otherwise scoring paper.
When asked whether he gave up on social media to fully concentrate on JEE and VITEEE, Sai said, “People think leaving Facebook is the solution to becoming serious in studies. I am here to prove otherwise”.
