Let’s hear from the toppers

Aman Bansal, Jaipur emphasized the importance of self-studies along with classroom studies. Having faith on yourself is also equally important. Now he wants to take admission in the Computer branch at IIT Mumbai. Passing 12^th with 98%, Aman secured 100 in Chemistry and 99 in Mathematics.

Bhavesh Dhingra, Yamuna Nagar says that he first attempted the Chemistry portion, then Physics and then Mathematics at the end. This helped him in managing his time well, which led to his success in the examinations. He shared that students must concentrate on understanding the concept rather than emphasizing on the question. This way the application of the concept gets stronger and it gets easier to solve the question.

Jaipur’s Kunal Goyal, who has secured the third rank, says that he never neglects the little mistakes. He advised that you should always work on the silly mistakes that you make, so as to benefit in the long run. He said that he didn’t repeat the mistakes he did in JEE Mains while attempting JEE Advanced. Kunal also wishes to study Computer Science from IIT Mumbai.

Gaurav Didwania, Jaipur says that it is believed toppers study for hours. Even I had this misconception at first but then I realized what is more necessary is to judge your own capabilities, strengths and weaknesses. My priority was to give my best. I studied with my class notes mostly.
