Routine is the key: Gollapudi N Lakshmi Narayanan a 17-year-old from a small village in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh topped JEE Main January paper-II for B.Arch admissions and also secured 99.91 percentile in paper-I for BTech admissions said he followed a strict routine. Preparing for JEE since class 9, he said, “I listen to the lectures carefully. I wake up at 6 am daily and visit coaching institute from 7 am onwards. Since the classes end at 6 pm, I devote nearly 11 hours to studies. Till that time, I fully dedicate my time to studies.” Narayanan also said, “If I feel stressed I do meditation and talk to my friends.”

Train your mind: During his preparations, the JEE Main January 2019 topper Ankit Mishra found chemistry to be comparatively difficult as he believes there is too much to remember in the subject. He tried to train his mind and vouched on meditation.

Suggesting his peers he said, “It is important to keep your cool during the exam and treat each question individually. One’s focus should be to crack as many questions as possible and not on the result. Also, practising mock tests is a help as it helps in self-assessment.”
