Pratham has been taking coaching at a private institute in Chandigarh and this was his first attempt at JEE.

He had scored 97 per cent in class XII in the non-medical stream.

Festive offer

“There is no shortcut to success. I can only advise other students that they should take NCERT books very seriously and study them thoroughly before going for any extra help books. Practice a lot for mathematics. I used to study 8-9 hours a day,” said Pratham. “I hope AIR 20 will take me through to IIT-Bombay,” he added.
Khushang, who is from Ashapuri (Barewal road) of Ludhiana was also Regional Mathematics Olympiad (RMO) and Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVYP) scholar and had qualified for the Indian National Chemistry Olympiad (INCHO) and National Standard Examination of Chemistry (NSEC).

He said, “I had left my city and started taking coaching in Chandigarh with admission in IIT as my target. Consistency is the key to success. Whatever you study, revise it at regular intervals. If you focus, study hours won’t really matter. Have faith in your teachers and always ensure that your knowledge is conceptually sound.”
