He obtained 348 marks out of 360 marks or 99.66% score. He also said that his family was very supportive as they planned eating time and outings as per his schedule.
Not passive preparations but constant self-analysis via mock tests and practising difficult questions is the key to cracking the IIT entrance exam, said Anant Lunia who secured All India Rank (AIR) 3 in JEE Advanced 2021. Apart from books, notes, and tests, critically examining what he did, where he used to lose time and marks every day helped him improve his performance over time.
He says that JEE Advanced is a test of accuracy. It’s better to attempt questions correctly and take more time to avoid silly mistakes than to do it fast and try to finish the exam. Lunia said he dedicated one day a week to test-taking and attempted three tests in a day. This helped hi familiarise with the paper pattern and understand what he could do better, hoe he could manage time more efficiently.
