The interviewer and interviewee extensively talked about—”How JEE (Adv.) 2021 Toppers build their foundation in class 9th & 10th.”

In the interview, their success mantras were decoded, and questions that intrigued curiosity were also answered. Here are some highlights:

What was the change in your learning attitude in the 11th and 12th standards from the 9th and 10th standards?

Kavya: In 9th and 10th, the level of preparation was a bit relaxed; when we talk about the 11th and 12th standard preparation, you have a career and growth mindset that propels you to get focused and aligned. You automatically become serious about your goal, rigorously start following the advice given by your teachers. In short, seriousness is the main change that you notice in your learning attitude.

Does Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO) Preparation help in your JEE Preparation?

Mridul: RMO Preparation gives you insights on numerous aspects; it also gives you an opportunity to analyze your mathematical problems. As we know that JEE is not a content-based preparation, you have to use your I.Q and analytical skills. We can say that the syllabus for JEE is different, but while preparing for RMO, your thinking pattern is enhanced, which is a plus point for every JEE Aspirant, which ultimately helps you save your time in your JEE Advanced examination.
