Kalpit Veerwal created history by scoring a perfect 360 in JEE-Main and also made it to the Limca

“The challenging part about the exam is to be disciplined and patient”

PREPARATION STRATEGY

Tina Dabi cracked the civil services exam in first attempt. Alumnus of Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi, Dabi started her preparation right from Class 11. “My daily routine included studying for seven to eight hours, proper sleep, a healthy diet and workout session.”

PRIME FOCUS

She emphasised on solving mock test papers, previous year’s question papers, reading UPSC prescribed books and newspaper on a daily basis. “It helps in understanding the level of in-depth study that the exam demands.”

MADHUR GUPTA, 24 T.I.M.E, Noida 100 per centile, CAT 2017 SET A HIGH BAR

Madhur Gupta left his job at Amazon to prepare for CAT. “For me, the preparation didn’t mean anything if it was less than 99.8 per cent. This was the bare minimum I could afford,” says Gupta, alumnus of Delhi Technological University (DTU), Delhi.

OVERCOME BARRIERS

He started his CAT preparation with his weaker area. “I worked on the verbal ability section, without losing focus on my strong areas which were quantitative ability and logical reasoning.”
