Share your preparation strategy for JEE advance.
To prepare for JEE advanced my main focus was on strengthening my basics of each subject as they play a very important role in exams like JEE. Since it’s a very tough exam, it’s also very low scoring and because of this I majorly focused on doing less of the syllabus but with perfection rather than doing the whole syllabus with no perfection in it.
Share your time table?
I didn’t really have any timetable. I just did whatever I wanted to and in whatever way I liked. I just made sure that I do ample practice of the syllabus before the main exam.
What were the challenges during the exam?
We all know JEE advanced is one of the toughest exams to crack in this world and because of this I faced many challenges understanding many difficult concepts that are there in the JEE syllabus. Moreover the amount of syllabus is also very vast and requires time to time revision which sometimes get very hectic and frustrating. But I would still say the main challenge was to minimise my distractions, especially social media.
What are your plans ahead?
I haven’t really decided what I’ll do in future but I do have some interests and will probably explore these things in my first year of college as there are multiple clubs for different things in IITs.
What’s your ambition?
I personally like technology related things like artificial intelligence and all. I have also planned that I will start doing coding once I join my college.
