Asked whether he used social media in his daily routine, he claimed that he did, however, he minimized his use during his preparation.
Mastering the fundamentals is key, said Visharad Srivastava from Maharashtra’s Navi Mumbai, who scored 100 percentile in National Testing Agency’s JEE Main 2024. He is among 56 other candidates who scored 100 percentile in the JEE Main session 2.
“I familiarized myself with the JEE Advanced syllabus and exam pattern early on. This helped me create a focused study plan throughout the two years.”
“There’s no easy subject in JEE, but for me, chemistry is a bit more manageable. There’s a lot to memorize, but once you understand the logic behind the reactions and can categorize them, things start to click. For him, physics was tricky with all the conceptual problems. It takes a lot of practice and applying formulas in the right way to get good at it. Math is somewhere in between — some topics are interesting and logical, while others can be frustratingly formula-heavy.”
“My regular studies were always focused on JEE Advanced. I practiced solving problems from advanced-level books and enrolled in mock tests to simulate the actual exam environment and improve time management,” said Srivastava, who credits discipline, persistence, and patience for his success in the JEE Main 2024.
Sharing more details on Advanced preparation, he said that he is focusing on revising all the important concepts and practicing previous years’ JEE Advanced papers and mock tests. “It’s all about building speed and accuracy for the actual exam. Also, working on my weak areas identified through these tests is crucial. Studying with friends and discussing problems together helps a lot too,” said Visharad Srivastava.
Sharing his three-pronged approach, he said mastering the fundamentals is key. “I used standard reference books and online resources to build a strong foundation. Along with it, I diligently solved problems from various sources, including previous years’ question papers and mock tests. Analyzing mistakes helped me identify and rectify weaknesses.”
