JEE Advanced 2024 topper’s success story: Never hung goal chart on wall, was motivated enough at heart – Ved Lahoti

Ved, who is a student of the Allen Classroom in Kota, has been living all by himself in the last two years, something which he feels has helped him in his success journey. According to Ved, it is because of staying alone that he learnt to be disciplined and the value of time-management.

Speaking of his study hours, Ved said he did not look at hours while preparing. Rather he used to set goals every day. His preparations rooted out mainly from his interest to study.

Interestingly, unlike most student rooms where one would come across motivational posters or goal charts glaring on the walls, Ved had a different take to it – according to him, unless one is motivated at heart, it does not really help. Ved stated that he knew what he ought to do internally, therefore never put up goal charts in his hostel room.

Ved said that one of the easiest ways to make last minute revisions easy is to prepare short notes during classes. The short notes, Ved said, come in handy when time is running fast, particularly in the few days ahead of examinations.

There were also times when he had secured lower marks in test series, but Ved said he never let his shortcomings deter from his ultimate goal.

Finally, for aspirants who are keen on taking the JEE Advanced next year, Ved said they must try and keep away from distractions, and not deter from their goal.
