Sankalp Gaur, the Pune boy did wonders once again! Not only did he score the highest marks (345/360) in JEE Main 2015 but also obtained the All India Rank (AIR) 1 out of 13.05 lakh

JEE Main candidates. A good student throughout his school days, Sankalp had scored 97.80% in Class XII from DAV Public School, Pune and also achieved AIR 56 in JEE Advanced 2015.

The music and sports enthusiast is an ardent fan of Indian cricket icon MS Dhoni and his ‘super cool’ approach; and enjoys playing cricket & badminton along with cycling to keep himself charged up amidst the strict study regime. Sankalp firmly believes in the phrase ‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’.

Talking to Sreetama Datta of Careers360, Sankalp says that he believes that more than putting meticu-lous efforts, it is the love for science that led

to his success. This precisely being the reason Sankalp aims to go for research in Pure Physics unlike most of his fellow engineering aspirants, who aspire for either corporate placements or lucrative job opportunities after their engineering programme.

In the exclusive chat with Careers360, Sankalp shares his success strategy, future plans and hobbies. Read on to know more about him.

Careers360: Congratulations on your stupendous per-formance! Were you expecting All India Rank 1?Sankalp: Thank you! Since I had topped the JEE Main exam with a score of 345 out of 360, I was sure of obtaining a top rank. However, I was not sure of securing the Rank 1! This definitely came as a pleasant surprise.

Careers360: How did you celebrate your success?Sankalp: I enjoyed the moment with my family, friends and

teachers. Without their guidance, this achievement would not have been possible.

Careers360: What, according to you, are the key fac-tors behind your spectacular performance?Sankalp: Love for the subjects is the main reason behind the success, along with regular and systematic study regime. I worked hard for the past 2 years and even decreased the time for recreation but that did not appear to be much of a burden for me as I really enjoyed studying the subjects Maths, Phys-ics and Chemistry. Also, my teachers from school and coach-ing institute guided and motivated me a lot.

Careers360: Did you decide to go for engineering on your own or the decision was put on you by your parents/well-wishers?Sankalp: Frankly, since my childhood I was focused on pursuing Pure Science and not Engineering. After Class X, my teachers suggested that pursuing engineering would be a better choice as I will not only be able to know the details about the subjects but also the practical and application aspect of the area as well. Engineering leads to more diverse career pathways and I can pursue Pure Science after com-pleting engineering as well. Since then I have had a focused approach in cracking JEE.

Careers360: Tell us something about your family. How was your support system, especially from family?Sankalp: I belong to a nuclear family. My father is a DGM of Arms and Ammunition Factory, Khadki, Pune. My mother was working with High Energy Materials Research Labora-tory (HEMRL) but she left the job 2 years back just to be with me and support me in these crucial years. Since I belong to a small family, she felt that I needed someone to be there by my side. I really appreciate and value this sacrifice and owe my success to her. Last but not the least; my pet dog is the fourth and youngest member of my family, who has been my stress buster throughout!

My family members did not put any pressure on me regarding studies or career. They supported all my decisions. Since I have always been a fairly good student, they had faith in me and my decisions.

Careers360: What was your preparation strategy?Sankalp: On regular days, after attending school and coaching, I used to study for 2 to 3 hours. During holidays, I studied for 6 to 7 hours. My coaching institute helped me a lot. It guided me in the right direction and kept me motivated through my preparation. There was not much pressure of homework or stress on tests. Hence, I had focused on study-ing with full concentration.

Careers360: Which subject was the easiest and which was the toughest for you? Did you decide your test taking strategy accordingly?Sankalp: Maths and Physics are my favorite subjects and I enjoyed studying them. Chemistry, on the other hand, was a bit tough and complicated for me due to the vast knowledge and theoretical aspect that is involved in the subject.

Accordingly, I had decided my test taking strategy. I had attempted Chemistry first followed by Physics and Maths. Since I had attempted the maximum number of questions from Maths, I wanted to solve them in peace and score as much marks as possible.

Careers360: Do you think coaching is necessary to crack the JEE Main and Advanced exams?Sankalp: I believe to obtain a high rank, you need guidance from coaching. The school level education is not enough to help you crack the exam. I found the text books to be disor-ganized as well. On the other hand, coaching institutes follow a systematic approach. The teachers keep you motivated as well which is a real good confidence booster.

Careers360: It was quite a busy preparation schedule for you. Could you find time to connect with your friends during preparation?Sankalp: I was always connected with my friends as they are either from my school or coaching institute. I did find out time to chat with them and discuss the tough problems and their solutions. Moreover, nobody can study the whole day so a little bit of chat outside studies did not harm me!

Careers360: Are you active on Facebook or any other social media platform?Sankalp: No, I am not on Facebook. However, I am quite active on WhatsApp and Google+.

Careers360: Do you enjoy watching movies? What is your favorite movie genre?Sankalp: I do enjoy watching Science Fiction movies. I watched Jurassic World recently. Apart from movies, I like watching cartoons and informative documentaries at Dis-covery and National Geographic channels.

Careers360: Did you turn to any recreational activi-ties during your preparation?Sankalp: During breaks, I used to go for cycling to keep myself fit. I am a music enthusiast and listen to music when-ever I get a chance. Although I used to play badminton and cricket but I had curbed down the duration of these sports significantly after Class X so as not to hamper preparation for XIIth boards and JEE.

Careers360: So, what is your favorite sport? Any sportsperson you look up to?Sankalp: My favorite sport is badminton. Among sport-sperson I admire MS Dhoni due to his leadership quality and super cool approach.

Careers360: Who is your idol?Sankalp: I do not have any particular person as my idol. However, I admire and respect those scientists, who work tirelessly to serve the mankind without striving for fame or money.

Careers360: What is your preferred IIT and Engi-neering branch?Sankalp: I hope to get in IIT Bombay with Electrical Engineering branch. After completing B.Tech I want to do my Master’s degree in Pure Physics. In future I would like to go for research.

Careers360: The JEE Main 2015 Rank List declara-tion was postponed by CBSE. How did the delay affect you?Sankalp: Though I had AIR 56 in JEE Advanced and I was sure to get IIT of my choice, still I was curious to know my JEE Main rank. Frankly, I did not expect Rank 1 but I was sure to be among the top 5 owing to scoring the highest score in JEE Main. Hence the delay made me anxious.

Careers360: What is your advice for the JEE aspir-ants who will be appearing for the entrance exam next year?Sankalp: Most of the aspirants think that JEE is tough. But if you develop an interest and explore the beauty of the subjects, it will not be a big deal to crack the exam. Along with your school and coaching, make sure you keep some time for focused self-preparation. Number of hours of study does not matter, the amount of concentration you put mat-ters the most.

Rishabh Shah secured 332 out of 360 in the national level engineering exam- JEE Main 2015. He did is HSC from Ryan International, Mumbai and is eagerly awaiting his 12th board

exam results with an expectation of achieving over 95%.

Rishabh aspired to become an engineer since his school days, and to achieve this dream, his parents motivated him throughout his prepara-tions. According to Rishabh, the success mantra to crack JEE Main is self-study and solving test papers. Throughout his preparation period, he made sure to revise what he had studied at his coach-ing and solve atleast one test paper every day.

Read his full interview to know what made Rishabh a JEE Main 2015 Topper and the strat-egy he would follow for JEE Advanced.

Careers360: Congratulations to you and your family! How have been the reactions?Rishabh: Thank you. It’s a wonderful feeling, and just what I expected and aimed for. My hard work has paid well and I am keeping my fingers crossed for JEE Advanced. There is quiet celebration in the family. All good wishes are com-ing, but my parents are trying to not get me distracted and constantly reminding me about preparing for the next level.

Careers360: Tell us about your overall and sectional scores in JEE Main 2015 and your exam experience?Rishabh: My overall score in JEE Main 2015 is 332 out of 360. In Physics I scored 116, 101 in Chemistry and in Maths I scored 115. I appeared for Paper 1 for B. Tech/B.E admis-sion. A total of 90 objective-type questions were asked, 30 in each subject- Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Each question carried 4 marks with negative marking of -1 (25%) for every wrong answer. Overall the exam was scoring and of moderate to difficult level.



14



Careers360: Which section was easiest and difficult for you and what kind of questions were there?Rishabh: As per me, the easiest subject was Chemistry and Maths and Physics was the toughest. In Physics, some questions were time consuming, a few areas like wave optics, properties of liquids etc. were totally absent in the paper, and most of the questions were on Thermodynamics.

Most of the questions in Chemistry were from Organic Chemistry, and I think they were scoring for almost every student. Organic part had 5 questions from easy topics like Practical Organic Chemistry, Bimolecular and Chemistry in Everyday life. Inorganic paper was little unorthodox and had 3 questions to attempt.

In Maths, differential calculus was the easier portion and it played major part in calculus. Straight Line and Circle had more contribution and 60 percent questions were from Co-ordinate Geometry.

Careers360: Was it all studying for you or there were any recreational breaks during your preparation period?Rishabh: Well, it was mostly studies, but yes all work and no play would make Jack a dull boy, so I was indulged into recreational activities too. Watching movies was what I used to love, and the last movie I watched was Inception. It is important for you to take a break from your studies for a while and indulge into other activities. Activities like games,

movies or just visiting friends refresh your mind and body which let you study with a fresh energetic mind.

Careers360: What was your strategy for JEE Main and how will you prepare for JEE Advanced?Rishabh: Preparations gets easy when you revise what you have learned in the entire day. I had joined a coaching and after my classes I made sure that I revise everything I have learned in the class. I used to solve previous years sample papers, which is important as you get to know about the types of questions which will be covered in the pattern.

Along with revision, I used to solve atleast 1 test paper each day. For my JEE Advanced exam I would be following the same strategy as it has already given me great results.

Careers360: Any suggestions for JEE Main future aspirants?Rishabh: Don’t be nervous at any stage. If you are willing to achieve, you will achieve it. Follow a simple strategy of revising and do not get relaxed after writing your exam. Take maximum one day gap and start preparing for the next level.
