State Topper Keshav Tapariya with AIR 9
“I got a boost because I started preparing in Class 9 with my JEE mentors. I have always looked up to my teachers. My teachers taught well. Physics was taught to me as story-telling. My father (Jaiprakash Tapariya) is a chartered accountant, who inspires me. My mother (Nidhi Tapariya) is my biggest support system. I have to clear JEE Advanced. My goal is to get into IIT Delhi. I quit using my smartphone and just got an ordinary calling phone. I stopped going out with friends and skipped all the marriage functions to focus on my studies. I studied 4 hours other than coaching class. I made sure to sleep for 7 hours. My role model is Dhruv Arora, who scored AIR 1 in 2019 from Indore.
Advice: I just focus on hard work and following teachers, so I suggest the same.”

State’s Female Topper: Archita Goyal with AIR 724
“I studied 13 to 15 hours every day with small breaks. I want to become a software engineer. It's my interest, which is different in my family. I come from a business family. I hope to study in IIT Delhi or IIT Bombay.
My father (Pankaj Goyal) is a successful businessman. My mother (Pinky Goyal) is my role model and inspiration. My mother has always been my strongest support. She was more excited about the result than I was.
My mother is my role model as she is a very hardworking person. She is always working. She motivates me.
Advice: Be consistent. Coaching helps because even on holidays we were studying. Consistency is better than too much work. You should attempt a test every day to be sure of where you stand.”

Indore’s second city topper: Aditya Shukla with AIR 153
“I have always been focused on doing what I like. I like Maths. I studied 13 to 14 hours to get through JEE Main. My mother (Nisha Shukla) is my biggest support system. I am grateful to my teachers because they ensured that I find the right way in life.
I loved Maths and it was an obvious choice. My teachers and seniors in school helped me make this choice. I will decide on stream after JEE Advanced.
My father (Mukesh Kumar Shukla) is a mechanical engineer and my elder brother Yash Shukla is a software engineer.
Advice: Develop a routine and follow it rigorously. Enjoy the three subjects, so you will score well.”
