Nipun and Nikunj Goel knew they would score well in JEE Main 2023, but getting the top score came as a surprise. Nipun scored a perfect 100 percentile, while Nikunj scored 99.99 percentile in the exam.
The twins used to travel everyday from Hapur to their coaching centre in Meerut to prepare for the exam. Their father is a businessman and mother takes English tuitions. They also have an elder sister who is a software engineer and works in Gurgaon.
Following their sister’s footsteps they also want to become software engineers. They spoke to indianexpress.com and shared how they prepared for the exam.
How did we study for JEE Main?
Mostly we would study our coaching material and it would take up all our time. We would also study NCERT before attending classes. In the class, teachers would give us notes and later we would solve questions. When the exams were approaching closer, the coaching institute would conduct revision classes.
What was our schedule like?
Our classes would begin at 9:30 am and go on till 2:30 pm to 3 pm. We would reach home around 4 pm and take a one hour break. After that we would study till dinner. On days when we did not have to get up early, we would study for 1-2 hours after dinner as well.
How are we preparing for JEE Advanced?
We took a couple of days off after our board exams. Now we will focus on JEE Advanced. Earlier we took tests every week, but now we will be solving test papers every day. Our strategy is to revise old topics, especially the most difficult topics of Class 11 and 12.
NCERT is a must
We used to study NCERT every day before our classes began. For Chemistry, especially NCERT is a must, multiple readings of the books is more than enough. We found NCERT Physics to be a little difficult.
Books we referred to
For Physics we referred to HC Verma and Irodov (mainly for JEE Advanced). We referred to Cengage for Mathematics in JEE Main and Blackbook for JEE Advanced. For Chemistry, we referred to NCERT.
Maintain your focus
Students who are appearing for the exam shall stay focussed. If you feel stressed or overwhelmed, you take out time for recreational activities. We too, take out time for recreational activities, during our time off we prefer watching Shark Tank.
