One notable achiever is Aditya, who secured the second rank in the IIT Delhi zone with a score of 346 out of 360 marks. Aditya, who received coaching at the FIITJEE Punjabi Bagh branch, shared insights about his preparation and future plans during a media interaction organised by the institute.
Aditya expressed his aspiration to pursue engineering in the Computer Science stream from either IIT Delhi or Mumbai. He mentioned dedicating six hours to self-study while spending less time on social media.
Addressing questions regarding parental support, Aditya's parents emphasised the importance of prioritising students' health and providing a conducive study environment. They advised parents not to exert unnecessary pressure on aspiring students.
"Although I was very clear about pursuing engineering from an early stage of schooling due to my inclination towards the science stream, particularly my passion for Physics, I was also always fascinated by inventions, experiments, and model preparations as a child," Aditya told NDTV.
"Like every engineering aspirant, my dream was to pursue my degree from an IIT. However, I realised very early on that this exam requires a more attentive approach, with time management being a prime necessity. Covering the complete syllabus on time was a big challenge to ensure proper revision and practice. In a nutshell, my strategies were mostly based on time management, conceptual learning of subjects, consistent practice throughout the preparation, analyzing test results, and practicing more based on those analyses. My faculties at FIITJEE helped me a lot in following this process and guided me throughout my preparation journey," he added.
Reflecting on the rise in student suicides, Aditya stressed the significance of maintaining healthy competition and avoiding comparisons with peers. He urged students to focus on their preparation, give their utmost effort in exams, and leave the outcome to fate.
Regarding the expansion of seats in prestigious institutes, Aditya advocated for a gradual increase, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining quality infrastructure and facilities.
Commenting on the role of coaching programmes, Aditya highlighted their assistance in providing curated study material, simplifying complex problems, and offering valuable preparation tips.
Aditya noted that this year's JEE Advanced paper was comparatively easier than the previous year's
