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

Rajit Gupta: Yes, I took coaching from the ALLEN JEE Institute. I was a regular classroom student here. Allen's study material saved a lot of time as they were systematically arranged and covered everything. I am glad for the exceptional teachers here who helped me throughout my preparation.

Q: What led you to remain focused throughout your preparation journey?

Rajit Gupta: I was solely focused on my goal, that is IIT Bombay or any prestigious IIT for that matter. If you are clear on what you want to achieve, it is easier to navigate the how.

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.

Q: What do you think are the key factors behind your stupendous success in JEE Main?

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'.

Hello Alka

For JEE Advance, the best 5 subjects through which you need to calculate your percentage is:

1. Physics
2. Chemistry
3. Mathematics
4. One language (which is English)
5. One other subject of your choice

So you will need to choose PCM + English + a 5th subject to calculate your percentage.

Hope this answer helps! Thank You!!!

Hello!

In JEE Advanced eligibility, the top 5 subjects from your board exam are considered. Usually, they are Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and any two other subjects from the main curriculum. If CMS is your optional subject and IT is an additional subject, the board will still calculate based on the 5 highest marks from your eligible subjects. Additional subjects are considered only if they replace a lower score from another subject. For example, if IT has a higher score than English or CMS, then IT can be counted. However, some boards follow strict rules where only main subjects are counted, so you must verify with your board’s official notification. The 75% criteria means your average percentage in those best 5 subjects must meet the requirement. My advice—list all your subjects, arrange them from highest to lowest marks, and take the top five as per rules.

Hope this clears your doubt!


Getting under AIR 100 in JEE Advanced in 6 months is very tough but possible if you already have strong basics and are scoring high in JEE Main-level tests. You'll need 10–12 hours of focused daily study, advanced problem-solving, and regular mock tests. If you're starting from scratch, it's unlikely, but you can still aim for a good IIT rank with consistent effort.

Hello,

To qualify for the JEE Advanced, you need to score a certain percentile or above. This percentile may change depending on those years competition. Generally you need a percentile of 93-94 to qualify for the JEE Advanced. So, every year only 250,000 candidates from the JEE Mains out of all candidates qualify for the JEE Advanced exam.

I hope it resolves your query!!
