Shiksha Exclusive: NEET UG 2025 AIR 3 Krishang Joshi Shares First-Attempt Success Strategy
In this conversation, NEET UG 2025 AIR 3, Krishang Joshi discusses his preparation strategy, subject-wise approach, and suggestions for future aspirants.
Krishang Joshi from Pune got All India Rank 3 in NEET UG 2025. He scored 681 out of 720 in his first try. He wants to study MBBS at AIIMS Delhi.
There were 22.7 lakh students who had taken the prestigious exam in 2025 and he is one of the top performers. In this interview, Krishang talked about how his preparation strategy, his plan for each subject, and gave tips.
Q: What was your reaction when you came to know about the NEET UG 2025 result?
Krishang Joshi: So first of all I was sleeping and then my Sir called me. I picked up Sir's call and Sir congratulated me—I didn't know for what. Sir told me that I got All India Rank 3. That was overwhelming. We were flooded with calls from relatives, from people we know. We didn't have time to answer each and every call. It took us a few days, I was flooded with calls from reporters, interviews. It was overwhelming, I did not expect that initially.
Q: And how did your parents and friends react?
Krishang Joshi: Yeah, my friends were also really happy, they were demanding a party. And my parents were also very very happy.
Q: Can you explain your NEET UG preparation strategy?
Krishang Joshi: For exams, it’s different for each subject. For physics, I focused on conceptual understanding and completing all the questions in modules. The momentum booster was very helpful. After I was comfortable with each and every type of question in a chapter, I moved on to the next. For chemistry—especially organic—and for biology, I focused on repeated readings of NCERT. The more you read, the more your focus goes into specific lines that are often asked. I also made special notes for organic chemistry because those questions can be tricky.
Q: Which topics did you find easy and which were challenging?
Krishang Joshi: Easy for me was physics and physical chemistry, as they involve less memorisation and more conceptual understanding. Difficult areas were inorganic and organic chemistry because you have to memorise a lot and understand many concepts.
Q: How did you manage board exams alongside NEET UG?
Krishang Joshi: Boards and NEET have the same syllabus. Preparing for NEET gives you a very solid understanding. For boards, you just need to write that understanding in subjective answers. Even if your answers aren’t perfect, CBSE examiners are quite lenient. You’ll still get marks if the concepts are conveyed decently.
Q: What did you do to relax during your preparation?
Krishang Joshi: I talked to my parents and friends or had some junk food to unwind and refresh myself.
Q: Which college are you planning to join?
Krishang Joshi: I’m aiming for AIIMS Delhi.
Q: Any advice for NEET UG 2026 aspirants?
Krishang Joshi: Focus on minimising silly mistakes and increasing accuracy. Also, revise repeatedly and keep attempting mock tests. That’s the best way to track your progress.

How do I prepare for the NEET during a BSc Preparation of NEET UG with your on going BSc Degree. There are two things involved and I'm going to give the answer in two fragments. SEE if you are going to do your BSc From a government college where you have to study and pass your sem/annual exam with practicals then it will be lil tough for you, then remember one thing don't make a mistake of studying in last month to take exam of your college bc it will only waste your time of one month which might be very crucial from perspective of NEET and it will be a hazard if sem/annual exam falls near your NEET exam. So study for college solely by attending lecture of your teachers in college and make their notes and you can bunk your college to prepare for NEET don't waste your time in making frnds in college and make a habit of studying for college BSc In only study hours of your college and rest of the time for NEET and make sure you dedicate your focused I repeat focused 5-6 hour of time for NEET and increase it gradually. And for college exams don't take stress you have your notes just revise them before one week and you are good to go If you are doing your B.Sc. From private college then boom don't take any tension just talk to administration and you won't have to attend the college ( if they ask pay them if it's a small college they will accept the offer for 5-6k ) you don't have to attend the lecture and practicals too just go and take the exam and may be they will arrange something for you in exams too like cheating and all you will pass it without any tension. Although you can buy notes of subjects from market notes are available in market and study them before 2 weeks of your exam and you can study for your NEET exam. It would be tough to manage both of them but over-all it is rewarding so do it and ha! Don't take any pressure everything comes from practice and studying is a practice dude! Make a habit of doing meditation you will SEE the benefits within 30 days start with 5 minutes and gradually increase upto 15 minutes for first 30 days it will surely help in your studies. Don't fall for the trap that I can revise something in that 15 minutes or can chill by listening songs or watching videos nope don't do that mediation can ease your journey of preparation.
