He said that the competition in the city was a healthy one and that it is necessary to succeed in any field. “A positive pressure, combined with healthy competition is necessary to clear an exam like JEE Advanced,” he added.

Speaking about his preparation strategy, the JEE Advanced CRL 1 said that he studied from the notes provided by the coaching institute and NCERT textbooks. Although he relied on the coaching materials and is thankful to the institute for clearing his doubts, he did not feel coaching is mandatory to crack JEE Advanced. “A coaching only streamlines the preparation and guides in general. It can be helpful but not compulsory,” Ved added.
Talking about his strategy to approach the question paper, he said he started the JEE Advanced 2024 question paper with chemistry, followed by physics. He devoted maximum time to mathematics.
When asked about how he prepared for JEE and board exams simultaneously, Ved said it was not challenging.
“There were many overlaps in the syllabus of both exams. The only difference was in the pattern of questions asked,” he said adding that only English and physical education required a little attention. Rest, all were the same. Unlike previous years, the JEE Main and JEE Advanced question papers were comparatively easier this year, the topper added.
