JEE Advanced 2025 Topper Interview: Saksham Jindal (AIR 2) - Preparation Strategy, Success Story

Q. How are you feeling on this achievement since you are also a JEE Main topper and now having topped JEE Advanced too? What was your reaction upon knowing your score?

Saksham: I am really happy that two years of my handwork has finally paid off. The goal was always JEE Advanced, JEE Mains was a nice confidence booster.

Q. Saksham you come from Hisar, Haryana, so what made you decide to prepare for IIT JEE in Kota? How did you make that decision?

Saksham: In 10th I took coaching from Allen Hisar, during my preparation for talentX I visited the main branch at Kota and decided it would be a good decision to prepare from Kota itself.

Q. Why do you want to study engineering? When did you decide to study engineering?

Saksham: My family supported my decision of choosing and pursuing a subject of my choice. I was highly interested in maths and I decided to go ahead with science stream.

Q. How would you sum up your two year preparation journey for the JEE exams?

Saksham: When I started initially I had little to no knowledge about admission to IITs but it was my interest in maths that pulled me into this exam. I started enjoying the subjects and solving the questions.

Q. Coming to you preparation strategy, how did you divide your study hours for all three subjects- Physics, Chemistry and Maths?

Saksham: At the beginning of my preparation, I devoted equali time to all three subjects. Maths was my favourite subject but for physics and chemistry i had to figure out how to study it and so gave them more attention. Once I got a strong hold of the concepts in Physics & Chemistry, I shifted my focus on maths. Maths was a subject I gave more time practicing and improving.

Q. What was you daily routine while preparing for the exam?

Saksham: I had classes in the morning so I would try to study from 1 PM to 7:30 PM with a 15-20 minutes break in between. After 7:30 PM i would have my dinner followed by a walk because it is necessary to look after your health. I would then study from 8:30 to midnight after which i slept for a good seven hours.

Q. Saksham tell us more about your revision strategy and your note-making process. How did you ensure you were able to revised everything that you covered?

Saksham: I prepared notes for physical chemistry which I referred to before the exam. For inorganic and organic chemistry, I referred to the coaching material and reference books for the important topics. I kept my resources limited.

Q. Which subject did you attend first while writing the exam?

Saksham: I started with Chemistry since it takes less time then I solved maths because it is my favourite subject and then physics in the end.

Q. Tell us about the exam day. How were you feeling? How the exam like?

Saksham: There was some technical error at my JEE Adavanced exam centre. The paper which was scheduled to start at 9 AM actually started at 10:30 AM. There was not even time to read the instructions. So in that moment it is important to maintain your cool and calm. Things may not work out as you planned but you must trust your preparation and face the situation.

Q. So how did this delay in the first shift affect your second shift of the JEE Advanced exam?

Saksham: Like I said there was a huge delay in the first exam so by the time we finished it and had to report for the next shift we just had 15 mins left. There was not much time to think and recharge I just quickly ate lunch and went for the next exam.

Q. What is the difference level between JEE Mains and Advanced according to you?

Saksham: I would say that the language of the question and the way it is framed is the differen. The same question in JEE Main would be easily solvable for most of the students. But if it comes in JEE Advanced, students may feel it is too tough based on how they are asking the question.

Q. Now that the results are in what is your dream college?

Saksham: Well my dream college is IIT Bombay.

Jee advanced me qualify ke liye jee main me kitna %chahiye

Hi,

JEE Advanced me qualify karne ke liye JEE Main me kisi fixed percentage ki requirement nahi hoti. Percentile aur rank ke basis par cutoff decide hoti hai.  JEE Advanced ke liye eligible hone ke liye aapko JEE Main ke Top 2,50,000 rank holders ke andar aane chahiye, sab category mila kar.

Har saal cutoff percentile thoda alag hota hai, par approximate range general (UR) ke liye hoti hai 90–92 percentile tak, EWS ke liye 78–80 percentile tak, OBC-NCL ke liye 73-75 percentile tak, SC ke liye 55-60 percentile tak aur ST ke liye 45-50 percentile tak.

Iska matlab hai ki agar aap SC category se hai, to lagbhag 55 se 60 percentile JEE Main me lana par aap JEE Advanced ke liye qualify kar sakte hai.

Hope it helps!!!

I want to ask that JEE main and JEE advanced crack karna chahti hoon but maine abhi tak JEE main ke liye preparation nahi kiye toh Kya Main abhi se start kar kar January ke attempt Tak JEE main ke liye preparation kar sakti hun

Hello,

Yes, you can start now and prepare for the January attempt of JEE Main . It will be challenging, but with focus and proper planning, it is possible.

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Make a study plan : Divide topics into daily and weekly targets. Focus more on important and high-weightage topics.

  2. Start with basics : Make sure your concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Math are clear.

  3. Practice regularly : Solve previous year papers and mock tests to understand the exam pattern.

  4. Revise often : Keep revising formulas, important concepts, and tricky problems.

  5. Stay consistent : Even small daily progress is better than irregular study.

If you stay dedicated and follow a strict plan, you can be ready for January.

Hope it helps !

but i have 4 subject marks from nuos but i all ready give cbse boards in 2024 passed but josa accept combine both during counselling

Hello,

Sorry, but JoSAA does not accept marks from two different boards for the same qualification during counselling. However, you can use your NIOS marks to meet the JEE Main/Advanced eligibility criteria if they are better than your CBSE marks. You can use your NIOS marks for the eligibility check, but when presenting your documents, you may be required to present both marksheets and the one with the higher marks for each subject will be considered.

I hope it will clear your query!!

hello everyone i need some help i am a 2026 jee aspirant and i am student of ews the problem is i have a state ews rn which i got made recently but idk if it will be eligible for jee advance cause advance needs central one but my state conditions for ews is same as the central one can someoneplshelp

Hello Hitesh

  • A state EWS certificate is usually not valid for JEE Advanced or JoSAA counselling.

  • You’ll need an EWS certificate in the central government format, as required by IITs.

  • Even if issued by your local authority, it must clearly mention it’s as per Govt. of India norms.

  • You can visit your tahsildar/revenue office and request it in the “central format for JEE.”

  • Make sure the issue date is after April 1, 2025, for it to be valid in 2026 counselling.

  • You don’t need it at the time of JEE Main, only during Advanced registration and JoSAA.

  • You still have enough time to get it updated, so no stress, just don’t delay it too long.
