“Consistency is the key. Apart from my parents, I would credit my diary for this result. I have maintained a diary since the day I entered class 10. I write everything in that diary including my schedule, what I learnt and what remains pending, my plans for the next day and even my screen time. I am maintaining that diary even after exams are over as it helps me to keep myself organized and disciplined. I did not take tuition for any subject and it was all self-study,” he said.
