Foreword This is not meant to be skipped. Grant me this boon, O Lord, that I may never shirk away from performing auspicious actions. Guru Gobind Singh ◆◆◆ The question is: "Why someone else's struggle and success story should be read?" I lost one and a half years of my two-year-preparation due to absence of proper guidance. Although in that time, through the hardships confronted, I made myself furnished with a plethora of ideas. One day, I took a few tough decisions and made many steadfast resolutions which totally overturned the situation. I worked incredibly hard thenceforward for four months and bagged AIR 247 in JEE Advanced. That experience added with the wisdom I have acquired in my four years at IIT Delhi is what I have written here, keeping in mind the requirements of JEE aspirants. This book is devoted to all the JEE aspirants who have a deep desire for achieving their great goals, and that they don't commit the same terrible mistakes which I did which you are going to read as you advance through the book. Often, even a little setback in our journey makes us feel insecure and numbs our brain. In such a situation, if we could realise that even the most successful people who have engaged the same pursuit as us have confrontedsuch pitfalls and hardships, we do not lose hope and keep on working hard. I have seen many toppers all across the internet, displaying themselves as flawless. They say that they studied for not more than a couple of hours to get selected, they spent plenty of time on their hobbies, their social life and so much more. I, being on the other side of the river, can detect their lies. I am bursting this myth here and now, loud and clear, that these people are as imperfect as you. A JEE aspirant, a young boy or a girl, who is susceptible to believe them gullibly, gets misguided. From my standpoint, lying in front of the public, merely for the sake of popularity, is a morally declined act. They are indeed fake gurus. The duration of the preparation of these toppers generally has been 4-6 years. They have had all the best facilities of the top batches of leading coaching institutes. Most of them have been spoonfed by their teachers and coaching institutes. Truth be told, they wouldn't have perhaps reached IITs without the tireless support of their coaching institutes. With such an excessive amount of time for JEE preparation and the facilities of the top batch, JEE is not hard. On the other hand, the remaining students are made deprived of such facilities, despite paying equal fees. These privileges make JEE preparation further easy for the toppers and further difficult for average students. Does an ordinary student of a low batch who was uninformed about most of the things about JEE till eleventh class have this in common with these toppers? Then how are these aspirants supposed to seek inspiration from them? I might not be the highest JEE ranker. But just like any other pedestrian JEE aspirant, I have never cracked any olympiad. I committed numerous blunders in my JEE preparation due to misguidance and un-guidance. Five years before the day I am writing this book, I was exactly where you are today. Despite all this, I cracked JEE with AIR 247 with my strength and persistence. I survived through many hardships which every student is bound to face sooner or later. I also got demotivated, hopeless, directionless, but I kept on working hard. I was also a 16-year-old child, these adversities could have demoralised me, but I had stubbornness that I had to win no matterwhat. I am not ashamed to talk about my flaws and the shortcomings in my preparation. I hold this fact firm that all men are created equal. Human beings are inherently imperfect, and so am I. Everyone should be allowed to take their own decisions and make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes nevertheless, but their success depends on how they learn from them and become better with each passing day. I have seen people becoming utterly hopeless after making even a single mistake. Just by knowing the fact that everyone makes mistakes is not going to suffice. Otherwise, that realisation would fade away soon just like usual motivation. We, in fact, direly need to see an entire journey of an aspirant who went through a journey as difficult as an ordinary student, not as easy as a privileged topper who became successful ultimately. When you read and witness those aspects of preparation in this book through my Herculean journey, there is no point of losing motivation throughout the preparation. This book will go down in history as the Gospel of JEE. I here want to give you the direction which I was deprived of in my preparation.Introduction This two-hour-read book contains the most relevant parts of my story, divided into small chapters for your ease. "What problems did I face?", "What did I do to overcome them?", "How did I get AIR 247 in 4 months?", the book has it all. I have tried to provide remarks wherever required as to what we can learn from the instances. In the afterword are the common mistakes made by JEE aspirants. I have also written the life-transforming learnings I had obtained from JEE. Happy reading!
