Q: Did you take coaching for JEE Advanced and if yes from where?

Q: When did you start your JEE preparation? Tell us something about your preparation strategy and daily routine for JEE Main.
Rajit Gupta: I have been preparing with Allen since 6th class. ALLEN’s regular classroom programme. While I was preparing for the JEE Mains 2025 session 1 exam my main focus was that I should not repeat the mistakes. I believe the foundation of subjects becomes strong only when mistakes are removed. I never strictly followed a schedule for studies because it creates an unnecessary pressure. So I used to study only when I felt like it, but for whatever time I studied, I used to study well. I used to study further in the topic only after clearing my doubts.

Rajit Gupta: Happiness is the key to my success. I try to remain happy in every situation.
Q: How did you de-stress yourself during the preparation? What are your hobbies? How often could you pursue them?
Rajit Gupta: I get a chance, I play with the children of the colony.
Q: Were you confident about your performance after the test?
Rajit Gupta: Yes I was confident about my preparation. I had not even seen the answer key. My father told me to get the answer key once but I said, 'Papa, don't worry, I will qualify for Advanced'.
