Q1: Congratulations on your performance in the JEE Main January 2024 exam! Tell us something 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: Since I was young I have always enjoyed problem-solving and I feel that it is tested while studying physics, chemistry and maths so I figured engineering would be a good career choice. Presently my short-term goal is to study B.Tech in computer science at IIT Bombay but in the long term I would like to go for research and related fields
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: Was there a difference in the preparation strategy in the last months of JEE Main considering that the board exams are also coming up? How did you manage preparation for Both?
Dakshesh Mishra: During the last few days of the exam, I did not focus much on physics and maths because I was already thorough with their problem-solving. I would spend more time on chemistry, especially the topics that required more memorisation because one keeps forgetting so much information but going through it towards the end helped me recall all the information.
Q6: 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 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.
Q7: 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. Obviously, 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.
Q8: 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'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.
Q9: 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.
Q10: Will you be appearing for the April session of JEE Main 2024 too?
Dakshesh Mishra: I will take the exam but to get accustomed to the exam environment for the JEE Advanced examination. I will not be preparing for the JEE Main April session seriously.
Q11: 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.
Q12: 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.
Q13: 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 tip to other candidates is to figure out the weak points in your preparation and work on improving them with full dedication. They will be able to extract whatever their best result can be and they need to just pay attention to details to avoid any silly errors.
