Talking about the importance of coaching in JEE exams, Ritesh felt that although you can crack the exam yourself, you won’t be able to get the desired rankings without proper guidance.

For future JEE aspirants, Ritesh advises sticking to JEE syllabus. “Students should join coaching in Class 9 itself. I joined coaching a little later, in Class 10,” he said.

“Our strategy is to target on complete understanding of fundamentals, along with a focus on JEE syllabus. Cracking the competition is not our only goal. Coaching does not help them achieve their ultimate goal in life. Students feel pressured when they focus only on academics,” said Partha Halder, the Centre Head of FIITJEE, Punjabi Bagh.
