No fixed timetable, clear concepts” is the key to acing the JEE in the first attempt by Topper’s student

This is 18-year-old Rajit Gupta. He has scored 332 marks to become one of the top rankers in JEE Advanced. According to him, ‘the sooner the better.’ He started preparing for entrance exams from Class 6. However, there is one hiccup. He didn’t decide on what he wants to become until he was in Class 9.

He began his teaching career coaching class 6 for one subject and one foundation.

“Starting preparation for JEE from a younger age turned out to be beneficial for me, helping me lay a strong foundation. First, my parents were also expecting me to pursue medicine, and I was myself not very sure of what I wanted to pursue in life. These additional classes gave me direction, and I was able to know what I wanted to pursue in Class 9 itself,” he told Times Now Digital.

The mother of Rajit Gupta is a topper of her university, and currently, she is a professor of Home Science at “JDB College.” The father of Rajit Gupta is a Sub-Divisional Engineer. He is an alumnus of “National Institute of Technology Allahabad.” Since his family never faced pressure to live up to his levels, his parents were his biggest supporters in his life. His parents guided him in each step of his way. Since school days, he used to be a bright student, always topping his class. He scored a perfect 100 in Mathematics in his CBSE Class 10 Boards, did exceedingly well in Science, and finished with a overall percentage of 96.8%. 

He used to be consistently ranked in the top 1 percentile in all his previous Boards, which motivated him to choose extremely challenging disciplines like Medicine and/or IIT Entrance Exams, but he has “Rajit’s preparation is based on a unique strategy,” says JEE Topper Rajit Gupta. “Rajit has never adhered to a strict study time-table, as this would impose a nervous strain on the brain,” says the topper. He used to study only when his brain is prepared to absorb the learnings. The strategy of his prep is to move on to the next subject only after clearing away all doubts of the earlier subject. Mock tests have been taken periodically by the topper to assess his prep-level. “My aim is to do B Tech in Computer Science from IIT Bombay,” says JEE Topper Rajit Gupta in an exclusive interview after his performance in JEE Main Entrance Test Results were declared. “

At present, I am neither thinking of which IIT I have to join nor which branch I have to prefer, since I have to strictly prepare for JEE Advanced at present. At present, I do not even know that whether I shall appear for the Exam to be held in April of the second session or not, since all I have now is to prepare for JEE Advanced,” adds Rajit Gupta. After his performance in his Boards and then in AIEEE and of course his performance in this year's JEE Mains, his 11-year-old sister has joined a Coaching Institution.
