Chase excellence, not rank: JEE Advanced topper with AIR 2 Saksham Jindal
Getting a top rank in JEE Advanced isn't easy. It takes steady effort, clear understanding, and staying motivated through ups and downs. Many students begin with a simple goal—to study well and do their best. But sometimes, with the right support and hard work, that goal turns into something what happened with Saksham Jindal. At first, he just wanted to give his best. But when he started scoring high in weekly tests at ALLEN and got 100 percentile in the JEE Main January session, he felt more confident.
