Shivangi’s JEE journey is an inspiring story of perseverance, discipline, and smart preparation. After months of consistent effort, she secured a seat in IIT Delhi Engineering Physics, a branch she had been interested in since childhood.

She shared that since her early schooling, she had a keen interest in Electronics and Physics, which naturally guided her towards Engineering Physics. Her preparation combined offline classes during Class 11–12, online crash courses, and later eSaral’s structured Advanced batch during her drop year.

Despite challenges such as burnout after scoring 99.5 percentile in JEE Main, Shivangi leveraged mentorship, structured test practice, and careful revision strategies to excel in JEE Advanced. Her story provides practical lessons for students navigating the ups and downs of competitive exam preparation.

Why Did Shivangi Choose Engineering Physics at IIT Delhi

Shivangi chose Engineering Physics because of her long-standing interest in Physics and Electronics. During counselling, she prioritized her preferred branch over other options, demonstrating the importance of aligning career choices with personal interest.

Selecting a branch based on genuine interest rather than popularity ensures sustained motivation throughout the rigorous IIT journey. Students should always consider both aptitude and passion when making such decisions.

How Did eSaral Mentorship Support Shivangi’s Preparation

Shivangi emphasized the role of eSaral mentorship in her preparation. Mentors like Ajay Soni guided her throughout the drop year, helping her analyse mistakes, stay disciplined, and maintain a consistent preparation schedule.

Mentorship helped her focus on weak areas, manage time effectively, and approach tests strategically. Regular mentor feedback and guidance ensured she stayed on track despite challenges like burnout or distraction.

How Did Mock Tests and PYQs Improve Her JEE Advanced Score

Before JEE Advanced, Shivangi practised Advanced-level mock tests, which initially scored around 100–120 marks. These tests helped identify weak areas and improve exam readiness. 

By solving these tests, she reduced mistakes and gradually increased performance, eventually scoring higher in the actual exam. eSaral’s PYQs, Rank Boosters, and Mind Maps allowed her to revise effectively, ensuring retention of critical concepts.

How Did Shivangi Manage Burnout After JEE Main

Scoring 99.5 percentile in JEE Main initially led to burnout. Shivangi felt a temporary lack of motivation to continue studying for JEE Advanced.

She overcame this with a structured approach: rejoining eSaral’s Advanced batch, following a disciplined routine, and gradually increasing daily study hours. This phase demonstrates that even high achievers face motivation dips, and overcoming them requires strategy and support.

What Study Strategies Helped Shivangi Balance Boards and JEE Advanced

Shivangi carefully balanced board exam preparation and JEE Advanced revision. She used eSaral’s resources, such as PYQs, Rank Boosters, and Mind Maps, to revise efficiently.

She also structured daily study routines to ensure coverage of all subjects, using time-bound practice to maintain speed and accuracy. Her disciplined approach helped prevent any last-minute cramming or overload.

What Was Her Biggest Preparation Mistake and Learning

Her biggest challenge was taking a short break after six months of intensive preparation, which led to a temporary loss of focus for Advanced-level preparation.

The learning: consistent, balanced effort with short, planned breaks is better than a long gap. Maintaining momentum ensures readiness for both JEE Advanced and board exams.
