JAMMU, Feb 14: Rishi Shekher Shukla has secured a perfect 300 out of 300 score in JEE (Main) 2024 and has secured a 100 percentile overall.
In an exclusive interview with the Excelsior, he shares his four-step strategy and highlights the role of his Institute, teachers, and parents in his achievement. His JEE preparation journey, his success mantra, the role of sleep, and the sacrifices made by his parents.
Here are the excerpts of his interview.
DE : Tell us more about your strategy.
Rishi: I repeated four-steps for each and every concept and each and every lesson that I learned. The first step was listening to the lecture or the concept that was being taught or delivered by the teacher in class. The next step that I focused on in my preparation was solving the problems for my practice based on the concept. The third step was clearing all of my doubts related to the concept with my teacher and the fourth step in the process was the carrying out of error analysis based on all of the questions that went wrong in the test that I had given, based on that concept.
DE : What was the role played by your teachers and the institute?
Rishi: I first learned about Aakash through the Aakash National Talent Hunt Exam. What attracted me to Aakash were its friendly classroom environment and the flexibility it offered in studying. With my interest in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and the engineering background of my parents, I felt it was the right fit for me.
The role of my teachers was invaluable. They provided me with the right resources, confidence and motivation to excel in my preparation. Their encouragement and guidance boosted my confidence and prepared me for the final examination.
DE : How did your parents support you throughout your JEE journey?
Rishi: My parents played a crucial role in my journey, making numerous sacrifices and offering unwavering support. They prioritized my study hours over social activities and even sacrificed their own comfort for my benefit. Their support, especially my mother’s dedicated study sessions with me, motivated me to strive for excellence.
DE : The world we live in is full of distractions. How did you manage these?
Rishi: It is indeed true that the world that we live in is full of distractions but once the goal has been set, distractions should always be avoided. I tried my best to avoid all possible distractions.
DE : Tell us more about your preparation journey.
Rishi: I preferred self-study as it allowed me to focus and take personal accountability for my learning. I like to study during the morning hours and I do not prefer late night study. I also do not like to sacrifice my sleep because sleep plays a very important role in a JEE aspirant’s life. A good sleep of 7 to 8 hours is essential for our brain and minds to function properly.
DE : What is your advice to JEE aspirants?
Rishi: My advice to JEE aspirants is to work hard, stay consistent, and never give up. Perseverance, determination, and maintaining consistency in effort are key to navigating the challenges of the JEE journey successfully.
