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

ALLEN Institute was the perfect companion for me. Apart from the teachers' guidelines and tips, Allen's study material provided me with everything at one place which reduced distractions and saved a lot of time.

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

Rajit Gupta: I was enrolled in 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.

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,

JEE Main ke 75% eligibility ke liye marks calculation board ke total marks (as printed on marksheet) par based hoti hai, best of 5 nahi.
Agar aapke marksheet me total 355/500 likha hai, to wahi valid mana jayega.
Isliye agar ye 75% se kam hai, to aap JEE Main de sakte ho, par NIT, IIIT, ya GFTI admission ke liye eligible nahi hoge, unless aap SC/ST category se ho (unke liye 65% required hai).

Hope you understand.
