Shubham Kumar's Journey to AIR 1
With a score of 330 out of 360, Kumar shared his preparation strategy. He moved to Kota two years ago for the final push. "Preparing for JEE often brings pressure, but I never let it become a weakness. I turned every challenge into motivation, and my entire focus was on my goal," he said. He credited his father for encouragement and his mother for emotional support. "Whenever a topic seemed difficult, I would repeatedly ask questions to clear every concept from the basics, which strengthened my foundation," Kumar added.
Coaching Dominance Continues
The results highlight the continued dominance of Rajasthan's coaching industry, particularly Kota, which has produced numerous JEE toppers over the years. The success of students from diverse locations underscores the appeal of these institutes.
