I never had any fixed hours for studying. I used to complete the homework given to us, then rectify the mistakes made in tests. If I felt there was time left, then I used to practice a bit.

Instead of memorising, I focused on understanding the concepts in depth. I studied each topic by dividing it into small parts, prepared short notes and revised regularly. I also worked especially on time management and accuracy. Analysing my mistakes was very important for me. This helped me improve my performance after every test.

It is important to have friends. I used to go out with them to bust the stress. It becomes a bit monotonous to keep studying all the time. So, keeping friends and spending some quality time with them is very relaxing. Also, I love playing football.

I want to pursue Computer Science from IIT Mumbai and want to go to MIT.
