ducted completely in computer based mode?

Careers360: Did you take coaching for JEE Main and if yes from where?
What are the benefits of coaching according to you?
Dhruv: Yes, I am studying at Catalyser. The benefit of coaching is that you get
proper guidance. Everybody studies but the guided student does well.

tise with the help of these? Do you think practising from the previous year
papers help and how?
Dhruv: More than mock tests, I practiced using previous year question papers.
I feel that solving previous year question papers are the best way to prepare
for the examination.
Careers360: Are there any special books that you feel have helped with your
JEE Main preparation? Are the school text books adequate for preparing for
JEE Main and Class XII?

Jayesh Singla
JEE Main 2019 AIR 4
Careers360: Tell us something about yourself. Which board have you studied
under? Which school have you studied in?
Jayesh: I study in class 12 at Apollo Public School, Patiala. I had appeared for
my class 12 CBSE board exams. I like to read books.
Careers360: Tell us about your preparation strategy. How did you planned
your studies for qualifying JEE Main 2019.
Jayesh: I focused mainly on studying regular rather than making an coercive
attempt. I use to study at least 5-6 hours regularly after school hours. I made
a plan and a time table and followed it throughout the duration of my JEE
Main 2019 preparation. I solved mock tests and previous year papers to get
an extra edge in my JEE Main preparation.
Careers360: How did you managed to take time for JEE Main 2019 amidst
your class 12 board preparation. Did you faced any difficulties like lack of
time as such.
Jayesh: I studied mainly for my class 12 exams and for JEE Main, i solved
mock test papers and previous year papers. Solving mock tests and previous
year paper gave me an exact idea of how questions are being framed, which
topics are asked more over others and exam pattern. I studied mainly from
the NCERT books for my class 12 exam as well as JEE Main.
Careers360: Did you took help from any coaching institute for the prepara-
tion of JEE Main?
Jayesh: I took weekend class batch of Allen Institute. The study material pro-
vided by them helped me in nurturing my preparation level. I use to practice
mock test papers provided by the institute and attended classes on Saturday’s
and Sunday’s to clear my doubts.

Konda Renu
JEE Main 2019 AIR 9
Careers360: Did you also appear in January? What was your score then?
Konda Renu: Yes, I did. Then my overall percentile was 99.99 and I just
missed the 100 percentile.
Careers360: Tell us something about yourself. Which board have you studied
under? Which school did you study in?
Konda Renu: I belong to Anantapur. My father works for the Rural
Development department and my mother works in Grama Panchayat. I joined
Sri Chaitanya , Vijayawada when I was in class 9 and I also studied my inter-
mediate from here. I scored 10 CGPA in my Intermediate exams.
Careers360: Why do you want to study engineering? When did you decid to
study engineering? Which branch would you be interested in? Any reason?
Konda Renu: My interest area is Artificial Intelligence and so I have to take up
Computer Science engineering for this. I am preparing for JEE Advanced 2019
as my goal institution is IIT Madras or Bombay.
Careers360: When did you start your JEE Main preparation? Tell us some-
thing about your preparation strategy and daily routine for JEE Main?
Konda Renu: There is no special JEE Main preparation here. It is all integrated
in our syllabus and we prepare for both Intermediate and JEE exams at the
same time. Having said that, we completed our syllabus in August 2018 and
then on it was just revision.

HOW TO CRACK JEE MAIN: KNOW SUCCESS MANTRAS FROM TOPPERS
Careers360: Mock tests and sample papers – how extensively did you prac-
tise with the help of these? Do you think practising from the previous year
papers help and how?
Konda Renu: It was part of our schedule. We had weekly tests all year
through. Then we had intensive tests only in the last month as I had men-
tioned earlier. Practice makes one perfect. I think, we lose our exam fear, learn
to manage our time and in short we become familiar with the entrance exam
system.
Careers360: Are there any special books that you feel have helped with your
JEE Main preparation? Are the school text books adequate for preparing for
JEE Main and Class XII?
Konda Renu: I actually did not need any reference books. My coaching mate-
rial was very detailed and covered everything required.
Careers360: Did you face any difficulties since the examination was con-
ducted completely in computer based mode?
Konda Renu: Not that I can think of. It went smoothly both the times.
Careers360: Which subject was the easiest and which was the toughest in
JEE Main? What do you think is a tough thing to manage during the JEE Main
exam?
Konda Renu: If you look at my subject scores, you can make out that
Chemistry is my least favourite of the three. If I were to choose a favourite,
then Maths would come first with Physics a close second. I think there were
no issue during the exam. We practised well so we didn’t feel any different
from normal exams except for the awareness that this was JEE Main.
Careers360: Do you feel that the new system with two attempts is benefi-
cial? How so?
Konda Renu: I think that this is good. So if I didn’t do well in the first one, I still
can put in more effort to attempt the second one in a better manner. So, yes,
it’s good for students to have options.

Careers360: What do you think are the key factors behind your stupendous
success in JEE Main?
Konda Renu: My parents undoubtedly. They have been solid behind me in
everything I have done so far. Then come my faculty at Sri Chaitanya. They
helped me stay grounded, focussed such that I could perform well in the
exam.
Careers360: How did you de-stress yourself during the preparation? What
are your hobbies? How often could you pursue them?
Konda Renu: We do get outing time as we call it. I would go out to watch
movies to relax and distress.

Sambit Behera
JEE Main 2019 AIR 11
Careers360: Tell us something about yourself. Which board have you studied
under? Which school have you studied in?
Sambit: I hail from Odisha and had relocated to Kota almost three years ago
with an aim to crack JEE. I studied at Disha Delphi Public School and will be
appearing in CBSE board exam.
Careers360: Why do you want to study engineering? When did you decided
to study engineering? Which branch would you be interested in? Any reason?
Sambit: I have a passion for mathematics and science as well as coding. I
had learnt basic coding as well. It is my dream to pursue computer science
from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay.
Careers360: When did you start your JEE Main preparation? Tell us some-
thing about your preparation strategy and daily routine for JEE Main?
Sambit: I started preparing for JEE Main 2019 almost three years ago. When
I was in Class XI, I started preparing for JEE Main. I made sure that my con-
cepts are clear. Once, I was confident about the concepts, I shifted my focus
to JEE Advanced 2019. It is in the last fifteen to twenty days before the JEE
Main 2019 that I shifted gears and concentrated on JEE Main 2019 only.
One should ensure that they revise everyday what is taught to them or else
there will be a backlog and it will be difficult for you to revise so much course.
If you have any doubts, make you sure that you clear it then and there. Do not
wait for it to be answered later on.

HOW TO CRACK JEE MAIN: KNOW SUCCESS MANTRAS FROM TOPPERS
Careers360: Did you face any difficulties since the examination was con-
ducted completely in computer based mode?
Sambit: I did not face any problem at the time of JEE Main 2019. I had
reached the exam at least an hour before the commencement of the exam.
Careers360: Did you take coaching for JEE Main and if yes from where?
What are the benefits of coaching according to you?
Sambit: I did take coaching. It was from Allen. One of the biggest advantag-
es of coaching is that your doubts get cleared instantly. The teachers at the
coaching institute possess sound knowledge about the subjects and they are
able to guide us and show us the right way to solve the problems. Whenever I
used to have doubts, I used to get back to the teachers at the coaching insti-
tute and they used to solve the problems.
Careers360: Mock tests and sample papers – how extensively did you prac-
tise with the help of these? Do you think practising from the previous year
papers help and how?
Sambit: I used to appear in all the mock tests which were arranged by the
coaching institute as it helps to prepare one for the actual day when the exam
will be conducted. I made sure that the conceptual mistakes that I was mak-
ing at the time of mock tests are rectified so that I did not repeat the mistakes
on the day of the exam. In between the exams, I used to solve the sample
papers. I solved the previous years question papers and also the computer
based entrance test of 2018 as the exam pattern was similar.

1 Physics HC Verma
Careers360: Which subject was the easiest and which was the toughest in
JEE Main? What do you think is a tough thing to manage during the JEE Main
exam?
Sambit: Since Maths is my strong point i found it easy. Some questions from
organic chemistry were tricky but solvable. The most important thing is to
remain calm, have faith in your ability. If you panic while taking the exam, then
you would not perform well. If any question is difficult and you are not able to
solve it, then in such a case, you should move onto the next question.
Careers360: What do you think are the key factors behind your stupendous
success in JEE Main?
Sambit: Consistent hardwork and the right guidance from my teachers and
support from my parents are some of the factors which helped me to per-
form exceptionally well in JEE Main 2019. Moreover, I practiced hard for JEE
Advanced.
Careers360: How did you de-stress yourself during the preparation? What
are your hobbies? How often could you pursue them?
Sambit: If there was some movie that was being showcased at the movie
theatre, I used to watch it on sunday. My hobbies include listening to music.
I used to try to squeeze out time and listen to music during the course of my
preparation for JEE Main 2019.

Samiksha Das
JEE Main 2019 AIR 20
Careers360: Did you also appear in January? What was your score?
Samiksha Das: Yes, my score in the January session was 310 which was not
very good.
Careers360: Tell us something about yourself. Which board have you studied
under? Which school have you studied in?
Samiksha Das: For 11th and 12th standard, I studied from Disha Delphi Public
School, Kota. Up to class 10, I was in DPS, Surat.
Careers360: Why do you want to study engineering? When did you decide to
pursue engineering? Which branch would you be interested in? Any reason?
Samiksha Das: In 8th standard, I became fascinated with math and it was my
favourite subject. It’s then that I decided that I want to become an engineer.
I’m interested in Computer Science for the same reason.
Careers360: When did you start your JEE Main preparation? Tell us some-
thing about your preparation strategy and daily routine for JEE Main?
Samiksha Das: I started my JEE Main preparation just after my board exams
got over. I did not have any particular strategy since I simply followed what
my teachers said and the guidelines they gave.
Careers360: Did you face any difficulties since the examination was con-
ducted completely in computer-based mode?
Samiksha Das: In the second attempt, the computer was a bit slow. Also,
there was a power cut 2-3 times but there was a backup so we did not face
any problems.

HOW TO CRACK JEE MAIN: KNOW SUCCESS MANTRAS FROM TOPPERS
Careers360: Did you take coaching for JEE Main and if yes from where?
What are the benefits of coaching according to you?
Samiksha Das: I took coaching for JEE Main and JEE Advanced from Allen.
The teachers in coaching classes give you enough practice and guidelines for
both the exams.
Careers360: Mock tests and sample papers – how extensively did you prac-
tise with the help of these? Do you think practising from the previous year
papers help and how?
Samiksha Das: I attempted the mock tests conducted in our coaching. Yes,
these papers helped a lot in improving my speed and accuracy.
Careers360: Are there any special books that you feel have helped with your
JEE Main preparation? Are the school textbooks adequate for preparing for
JEE Main and Class XII?
Samiksha Das : For JEE Main, one must start with NCERT and then proceed
to higher level books like HC Verma. School textbooks are not enough but you
should have a good grasp on the topics mentioned in them. Without that, you
cannot score well like me in the January session.
Careers360: Which subject was the easiest and which was the toughest in
JEE Main? What do you think is a tough thing to manage during the JEE Main
exam?
Samiksha Das: Chemistry was the toughest and math was the easiest. There

success in JEE Main?
Samiksha Das: My mother’s support, coaching classes and my teachers!

are your hobbies? How often could you pursue them?
Samiksha Das: I am a huge Marvel fan but I haven’t watched Avengers:
Endgame till now to avoid distraction. I plan on watching it after appearing for
JEE Advanced. During my preparation time, I watched old Marvel movies and
the trailers of Endgame to de-stress.

Careers360: Tell us something about yourself. Which board have you studied
under? Which school have you studied in?
Chetan Reddy: I hail from Tadepalli which is in Krishna District. I have stud-
ied under the Intermediate Board of Andhra Pradesh and am shortly going to
appear for my second year Intermediate exams next month. I have studied
from Sri Chaitanya Institute.
Careers360: Why do you want to study engineering? When did you decided
to study engineering? Which branch would you be interested in? Any reason?
Chetan Reddy: I was in class six when my interest was sparked in engineer-
ing. It helped with my father being Professor and Head of Department of
Electronics at the Lakireddy Bali Reddy College of Engineering. I am inter-
ested in Computer Science and Electronics. I think my dream IIT would be IIT
Bombay or Delhi and these two branches as my choice. I am fine with getting
any one of them.
22
HOW TO CRACK JEE MAIN: KNOW SUCCESS MANTRAS FROM TOPPERS
Careers360: When did you start your JEE Main preparation? Tell us some-
thing about your preparation strategy and daily routine for JEE Main?
Chetan Reddy: I started preparing for JEE Main 2019 when I was in class 8.
I enrolled for a foundation course that continued till I completed my class 10.
Then I enrolled for the intensive integrated coaching at Sri Chaitanya with JEE
as my prime target. By August 2018, we had completed our syllabus and then
on, it was just revision and practice. I think all of that has helped me get a grip
on the concepts while the practice made us very much ready for the exam.
The daily routine is pretty much the same with classes all day interspersed
by requisite breaks. The strategy was to complete the syllabus as early as
August and get on with revision as well as ample practice. I just followed that.
Careers360: Did you face any difficulties since the examination was con-
ducted completely in computer based mode?
Chetan Reddy: No, everything was fine. There were no glitches or any such
problem. Everything was smooth. The only problem for me were two ques-
tions in Physics whose answers seemed ambiguous to me. Otherwise in
terms of conduction of the exam, arrangements, it was all fine. We have been
coached and prepared for the CBT mode so that was also not a problem in
any way.
Careers360: Did you take coaching for JEE Main and if yes from where?
What are the benefits of coaching according to you?
Chetan Reddy: Yes, I have been taking coaching since class 8. From then till
class 10, we had this fundamental coaching that allowed us to get ready for
something like JEE Main. My Intermediate as mentioned before was at Sri
Chaitanya, where the teachers took a lot of care to help us study, understand
and prepare us for the exam. I think that coaching is beneficial as there is this
dedicated team who filter the topics, syllabus and break them up for us to
study. It makes everything easier. The doubts are cleared as soon as we raise
them. So yes, I feel coaching was beneficial for me.
23
HOW TO CRACK JEE MAIN: KNOW SUCCESS MANTRAS FROM TOPPERS
Careers360: Mock tests and sample papers – how extensively did you prac-
tise with the help of these? Do you think practising from the previous year
papers help and how?
Chetan Reddy: Actually yes. Mock tests are important. They help with time
management, rid you of your exam fear and help you analyse your prepara-
tion levels. We had two tests every week and they were all computer based to
allow us to get familiar with the mode. We were taught the topics and tested
so if we were unclear anywhere, we could ratify that. In the final days before
the exam, we had tests everyday but by then we were complete with revision
of all topics. The tests at the institute were designed using past year question
papers and all kinds of questions.
Careers360: Are there any special books that you feel have helped with your
JEE Main preparation? Are the school text books adequate for preparing for
JEE Main and Class XII?
Chetan Reddy: The coaching material provided by my institute was very
detailed and exam specific. So I really didn’t need to check out any reference
books. Our teachers would actually incorporate all the questions, concepts
which they felt we needed to know in our curriculum so I really didn’t need to
look further than them.
Careers360: Which subject was the easiest and which was the toughest in
JEE Main? What do you think is a tough thing to manage during the JEE Main
exam?
Chetan Reddy: Actually, I didn’t find any subject too hard. If you were to ask
me to pinpoint, then I felt Chemistry and Maths were relatively easier. Physics-
I felt two questions had ambiguous answers; wasn’t sure of them so I kind of
think that this may have made me feel that it was tougher. I really didn’t feel
the question paper to be hard in any way. If you were strong conceptually, you
could do well.
Careers360: What do you think are the key factors behind your stupendous
success in JEE Main?
Chetan Reddy: Hard work and dedication of course would be big factors. I
also feel that a major portion of the credit should also go to my teachers and
parents. My teachers because they took all the time to clear my doubts, moti-
vated me and ensured that I was ready to tackle the exam well. That kind of
dedication makes me feel grateful to them. The second would be my parents.
They have ensured that I was in a place where I could study well and sup-
ported me in all ways.
24

Careers360: Will you be appearing for the April session of JEE Main 2019
too?
Chetan Reddy: Yes, I will definitely appear for the April session. Since the bet-
ter of the two scores will be considered and I think for ranking, the subject
wise percentile scores will also be taken into consideration so yes, I plan to
appear for the exam. I have nothing to lose considering that I do have 100
percentile now.
Careers360: How did you de-stress yourself during the preparation? What
are your hobbies? How often could you pursue them?
Chetan Reddy: Every day we were given a break in the afternoon and in the
evening. I like chess so I would play that. Every two weeks we were also given
some time off like a day so we could go out. That’s enough I feel for anyone
since the monotony of study gets broken with these breaks.
