JAMMU, Mar 14: In light of this, what goes behind the making of a topper? Do they do things differently? What role does a good mentor play in their success?
NEET and JEE toppers share some tips and personal experiences for future aspirants, on topics ranging from the role of teachers, the importance of a rigorous test schedule, to the role of maintaining good health and proper sleep.
Kaustav Bauri (AIR 3, NEET UG -2023) says, “It is very important to regularly attend mock tests, do error analysis after every test and attend the paper discussion sessions with the faculty to identify your mistakes”.
In the words of Sri Ram (99.99 percentile, JEE Main – Session 1, 2024), the teachers at Aakash gave me individual attention whenever I had doubts and they also motivated me whenever I felt low. This helped me boost my confidence”
Shivam Patel (NEET UG 2023 Topper) said, setting daily goals seemed to work.
While for others like Hardik Aggarwal (99.99 percentile, JEE Main, 2024), setting time aside for revising daily and practicing questions everyday kept him on top of his preparation.
Dhruv Advani (AIR 5, NEET UG 2023), who was a classroom program student at Aakash, revealed that he would play basketball almost every day to relax.
D Kathiravan (AIR 26, NEET UG 2023) used to go cycling and listen to music to relax and Saanvi Gupta (AIR 101, NEET UG 2023) used to de-stress by watching half a movie every day.
Swayam Shakti (AIR 8, NEET UG, 2023) reveals how he used to maintain a book where he would write important statements from NCERT textbooks in the form of True/ False statements and would use it to revise.
Aakashian Vimukta Sharma, a topper in NEET 2023, says that students should “Never miss a test”.
Toppers use technology to their advantage. So whether it is the recorded video lectures provided by Aakash or the Doubt Resolution platform on myAakash App, the ability to make the most of these resources to save precious time during one’s preparation journey can be an important factor for success.
The preparation journey for NEET and JEE is long and intense. Aspirants need to watch out against “early burn out”.
A common strategy that all toppers deploy is that of maintaining a consistent study schedule.
This was a view that almost all the top performers shared.
