Tejaswa with AIR 98
“I had prepared according to the guidance of my teachers. In addition to clearing the theory in Physics and Maths, I put more emphasis on practice. In Chemistry, I prepared with a full focus on NCERT syllabus. I would practice the questions again and again. This strengthened my confidence and ensured that I eliminate all mistakes. I worked on all the modules and study material provided to me. My teachers motivated me whenever I was about to give up and too frustrated.

My performance improved with the weekly tests and the regular doubt-solving strengthened my grip on the topics. I scored 99.9217496 percentile in JEE Main January 2023 session exam. I had to work hard then and get through JEE advanced for my dream is to study computer science (CS) engineering at IIT Delhi. I am interested in solving problems using coding. I did it briefly. I owe a big thanks to my parents (Dr Geeta Mehra and engineer Umesh Chandra Singh) as they are my role models.”

“My father (Manish) is a teacher, and he teaches maths for IIT. I was aiming to clear it too. I calculated my time in terms of assignments instead of hours. I did 150 to 300 questions a day. On weekends, I did 500 questions in a day. I want to go to IIT Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur and Madras.

I will study CS and electrical because they pay well. My mom (Brijlata) is a yoga instructor, so she helped me relax and well. My parents live in Indore, but I stayed in a hostel at the coaching centre to study better. This helped me get more time from teachers.”
