Ojasvi: Congratulations on your outstanding performance in JEE Main 2021 March Exam! How did you feel after scoring 100 percentile?

Rohit: Thanks. It was an unbelievable moment for me. Although I was confident about my preparation, yet it was unexpected.

 

Ojasvi: When did you start your preparations? How are you managing your board preparations along with JEE Main preparations?

Rohit: I have started with the 11th class, studying at Allen Sikar, and continued with the 12th class. I focused on both JEE and board class. I gave more time to JEE preparation and attended ALLEN coaching online and offline classes. For Board, PCM subjects went well through JEE preparation only I had to focus was other subjects such as English, for which I gave time frequently.

 

Ojasvi: The pandemic was unexpected for everyone. Did it affect your preparation? If yes, then how?

Rohit: Although offline classes are more beneficial than online classes, yet I managed myself according to the situation in the lockdown period and continued my studying by online classes with attachment to my teachers.

 

Ojasvi: According to you, what helped you score so well? Tell us about your daily routine, preparation strategies, and coaching.

Rohit: I attended coaching classes regularly from 11th  and followed ALLEN study materials and teachers’ guidance as a rule. After coaching classes, I gave almost equal time to all subjects and completed the homework daily. I gave approximately 7-8 hours time to study. I studied NCERT books and followed Mohit Tyagi’s YouTube channel sometimes. I also studied some books like physics books by HC Verma, Shashi Bhushan Tiwari; chemistry books by MS Chouhan, Cengage publication, Neeraj Kumar, Narendra Avasthi, and in maths only NCERT books and coaching materials.

 

Ojasvi: Did you give the February Session Exam? If yes, then how different was your result?

Rohit: Yes, I attempted the February session Exam. In that, I scored 99.989 percentile overall and 100 percentile in Maths.

 

Ojasvi: Tell us about your schooling and dream college. Why did you choose to study engineering?

Rohit: I studied 1 to 10 class in St. Mary’s School at Sikar and got 97.8 percent in ICSE Board Exam. From 11th I am continuing at Bhartiya Public School, Sikar. My dream college is IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi. From Schooling, I liked computer science and thus decided to pursue engineering.

 

Ojasvi: Which subject was the easiest and which subject was toughest for you in JEE Main? And how did you overcome what you found difficult?

Rohit: All subjects were nearly equally likely for me.

 

Ojasvi: What is the ideal time to start taking mock Tests & What role do mock tests play in JEE Mains Preparation? What were your strategies in particular towards mock tests?

Rohit: I didn’t practice for mock tests but I gave past year papers of Mains 2020. I started them before nearly one-half month before the examination. With those papers and ALLEN Score tests, I analyzed my speed and accuracy and worked on it. Also, I developed my Paper solving strategies which helped me to overcome stress and to be confident at the examination.

Thank You.
