JEE Main 2024 April Session Topper Interview: Dakshesh Mishra Secured AIR 2

Edited By Samridhi Mishra | Updated on Apr 25, 2024 05:56 PM IST | #JEE Main

Dakshesh Mishra has achieved All India Rank 2 in the JEE Main 2024 exam. He has secured a 100 percentile, obtaining 300 out of 300 marks in session 2 of JEE Main 2024. He has been preparing for JEE Main since class 10th. Check out this article as Dakshesh Mishra shares tips and strategies for preparing for the JEE Main exam. He mentions his daily study routine lasted for at least 10-12 hours. His focus was largely on the NCERT syllabus, which he says is a must while preparing for the exam. Dakshesh is now preparing for the upcoming JEE Advanced exam. He wants to pursue a B.Tech in Computer Science at IIT Bombay.

Dakshesh would also practice multiple mocks and sample papers for added practice questions. He says continuous practice ensured concept clarity and boosted his confidence level. The National Testing Agency has declared the JEE Main session 2 results at jeemain.nta.ac.in.

Q1: Congratulations on your performance in the JEE Main 2024 exam session 2! Tell us about yourself. Which board have you studied under? Which school have you studied in?

Dakshesh Mishra: I did my class 12 from Rahul International School in Mira Road. My school follows the CBSE board curriculum.

Q2: Why do you want to study engineering? When did you decide to study engineering? Which branch would you be interested in? Any reason?

Dakshesh Mishra: I have always enjoyed problem-solving, and I believe it's tested while studying physics, chemistry, and maths, so I figured engineering would be a decent career choice. Currently, my short-term objective is to study B.Tech in computer science at IIT Bombay, but in the long run, I would like to pursue research and related subjects.

Q3: When did you start your JEE Main preparation? Tell us something about your preparation strategy and daily routine for JEE Main.

Dakshesh Mishra: I started preparing for JEE Mains during class 11. I would say to master all these three subjects, physics, chemistry and maths you do require a lot of practice. Once I was thorough with the theory of these subjects I would solve a lot of questions, more for the topics that required a little more attention. My daily routine was to wake up at 7:30 am and attend lectures from 8 am. Once the course was completed and I did not have any more lectures I would spend time doing subjects that required memorization or reading. I would then practice numerical later on during the day since you are more energetic in the morning. I used to study for about 10-11 hours daily including self-study and coaching.

Q4: Did you face any difficulties since the examination was conducted completely in computer-based mode?

Dakshesh Mishra: A stark difference between offline and online papers is that in offline papers you can see multiple questions on the same page so it is much faster. Whereas I feel the CBT mode is convenient as there is no risk of OMR filling and much easier to change your answers. It is easier to simply click on the answers than to fill those circles so both have their pros and cons but it was fine.

Q5: Did you take coaching for JEE Main and if yes from where? What are the benefits of coaching according to you?

Dakshesh Mishra: Yes I took coaching from ALLEN Career Institute for my JEE Main preparation. I started with my coaching in class 11. I think coaching is important to get all the resources and to develop a systematic study routine.

Q6: JEE Main Mock tests and sample papers – how extensively did you practise with the help of these? Do you think practising from the previous year’s papers helps and how?

Dakshesh Mishra: Initially I was very nervous about giving tests but repeated practice somewhat eliminates that fear and you stop seeing the test as a burden. It familiarises you with the pattern and it also helps you to gauge what problems will come in the exam. You can't predict whether it will be easier or difficult but practising everything makes it easier to handle the situation on the day of the exam. In the initial phase of my preparation, I used to practice a JEE sample paper once every three weeks whenever my coaching conducted it and then later on during my class 12th and especially towards the end of my 12th, it became twice or thrice a week.

Q7: Are there any special books that you feel have helped with your JEE Main preparation? Are the school textbooks adequate for preparing for JEE Main and Class XII?

Dakshesh Mishra: I feel whatever is given in ALLEN Career Institute's model covers the entire syllabus and more, since they are also aligned with JEE Advanced. So I just followed my institute's resources for my JEE preparation.

Q8: Did you face any problems during the JEE Main examination? Which subject was the easiest and which was the toughest in JEE Main? What do you think is a tough thing to manage during the JEE Main exam?

Dakshesh Mishra: No, I did not face any difficulties. It was as expected nothing out of the syllabus was asked at least in my shift. None of the problems are very difficult I mean it is a doable exam. Maths was on the lengthier side but that's just it.

Q9: Since you scored 100 percentile in the JEE Main January session, why did you appear for the April session of JEE Main 2024 too?

Dakshesh Mishra: I just appeared for practice and getting used to the exam environment since I want to appear in JEE Advanced as well which will be held in similar conditions.

Q10: How did you de-stress yourself during the preparation? What are your hobbies? How often could you pursue them?

Dakshesh Mishra: No active hobbies as such. For de-stressing, I would just talk to my friends. Studying is not as much as a stress as it is a routine.

Q11: Who is your ideal or biggest inspiration in life and why?

Dakshesh Mishra: No, there is no one person that I look up to. I look up to many people and learn from them.

Q12: You know you are an inspiration to thousands of students across the country. Do you have any message for future aspirants on tackling the JEE Main exam?

Dakshesh Mishra: My advice to other candidates is to identify your weaknesses in preparation and work diligently to improve them. They will be able to extract whatever their best output is, and they only need to pay attention to details to prevent making errors.

Hello,

You will require the following for 2025 JEE registration:

Year of Passing: Since your Class 12 boards in which you initially passed appear to be from 2023 and an improvement appear to be in 2024, you should still consider 2023 because that was the first actual passing year. Improvement appears not to alter the initial passing year; rather, improves marks.

Mistake in 2024 Registration: Putting "Appearing" in the 2024 JEE form by mistake also does not disqualify you if you meet other requirements and provide right information in your 2025 form.

2025 Form: Fill 2023 as the year of passing and mention any improvements as required. The correction window of JEE authorities usually allows updates, so be accurate this time.

Your form will not be rejected only because of the mistake in 2024, but be careful to enter the correct details for 2025.

Hello aspirant,

NIT Kurukshetra JEE Main Cutoff 2024 for SC category candidates varies depending on the branch and quota (Home State or Other State). However, based on the previous year's trends, you can expect a cutoff in the range of 300-500 marks for SC female candidates from Haryana to get admission to NIT Kurukshetra.

It's important to note that the actual cutoff may vary depending on several factors, including the difficulty level of the JEE Main exam, the number of applicants, and the number of seats available.

Therefore, it's advisable to aim for a higher score to increase your chances of securing a seat in your desired branch.


I hope this information helps.

Hello Tanvi,

If your family's annual income is above Rs. 8 lakhs, you should indicate that you belong to the general (non-EWS) category in the JEE application. While your Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) OBC certificate may grant reservation benefits in certain contexts, for JEE purposes, the income ceiling for OBC-NCL eligibility is below Rs. 8 lakhs.

Even if you have an NCL certificate, it applies only if the annual income remains within the prescribed limit (below Rs. 8 lakhs) to benefit from the OBC-NCL reservation in JEE.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.


You should fill in your passing year as 2024 since that’s when you improved your marks. For the JEE Mains application, include the marks from your improvement exam, as they are higher.

Regarding the roll numbers, use the roll number from 2024 for your application. It’s understandable to worry about the lower marks from 2023, but focusing on your improved performance will show your progress and dedication. If asked about it, you can explain that you took the improvement exam to strengthen your academic standing.
