so at this point of Time how long can you actually sit in study 20 hours 21 hours I have done that so from the morning till the night you should be going through that notebook as many times as possible do you recommend a j aspirant or a NE aspirant you know get into a relationship while they're studying uh if you're a student who's preparing for a competitive exam like iitj where the competition is so intense then this video is for you because in today's video we have ano who's a doctor content creator entrepreneur who is
also one of the Toppers in nugi 2018 he also got two gold medals and nine distinctions in Mbps and is now preparing for n PG 2024 and that's exactly the reason why he's the perfect fit for today's podcast about how to become a Topper if you're a mediocre student let's start hi so first things first the goal of this entire podcast or the interview is that if someone is watching this video till the end I want to make sure that they are scoring at least 5 to 10 marks more in their next exam so first
question uh let's take you you have one month to remember entire ncrt chemistry textb one month one ncrt textbook end to end what are the things uh that you do to make sure that you remember it properly first of all uh I'll take the book and I'll look at the index most important page is the index you see which are the topics you see do you know anything about them do you know something which are your weakest which are your strongest and my first Target will be the weakest ones like that's where I'll improve most
of my marks going about to how will I actually read it the most important thing I'll be doing is taking notes because before the exam I will not have the time to read the book once again now how will I make my notes I will open up each of the chapters and when I'm reading I'll write down only the important topics in it next what I the most important step which I did way back in class 11th and 12th as well uh is that I'll frame questions from as many topics as I can for example
taking the digestive tract instead of just writing down the entire theory about this is how a protein is digested in our body uh I'll actually just write the question which is the enzyme which is most important for protein digestion so I'm practicing active Rec from the morning till the night you should be going through that notebook as many times as possible so this is the way I would go for it so now one big question inside this is uh would you also read your NC biology or chemistry textbook again apart from your class notes or
wouldn't you care about it I probably would not care about it that much if my notes are everything if my notes have everything which is important which is being asked upon I probably would would not read it as frequently as I would read my notes now imagine there are a couple of instances couple of topics that you don't understand so you definitely don't have time to uh see the entire lecture right now right so what will the source be right now so I would just try to solve the questions from that you might think that
it's ctive I don't even know the topic how will I solve the questions so yes you'll get the answer incorrect but then you read the explanation you solve the questions you get it wrong so you know that what what they're trying to ask and if you find that that explanation is something which is worthwhile write it down in your notebook got it so at this point of Time how long long can you actually sit and study longest I probably have done 20 hours 21 hours I have done that so in the morning uh from let's
say 5: I have studied till night at 1 or 1:30 so I think holy but how how how how did you do that like that's usually happening one day before the exam it's not something which I recommend MH so one day before the exam I'm just trying to cram everything no question should go missed the next day so how do you plan out these long sessions people go out for lunch dinner whatever it is right and there are also a lot of distractions just turn off all the internet and then just uh put the mobile
phone in a different room next with respect to your lunch dinner and all so I do take half an hour in between but that half an hour there there should be no mobile phones there should be no screens my plan usually is I revise two times before going to the exam so if I have let's say tomorrow I've got a test with three three chapters so those three chapter should be done two times and during the last day don't Focus that much on understanding this is something which I'll say in a opposite Direction what are
some of the worst habits that a student can have while preparing for a competitive examination first is having too much Indulgence into social media secondly I would say is your body ignoring your physical health is something which you should avoid do you recommend a j aspirant or an need aspirant to you know get into a relationship while they're studying uh it depends on what kind of a person your partner is the partner is good for you if you are both productive I would recommend it because it's like having a best friend if it's the other
way around if you're feeling that too much time is being wasted dump them so uh have you ever had any of your friends who don't appear like they're studying right they be like time pass morning they like but when you see their their exam marks they're always on the top and some people who study the entire day they're they they're almost at the bottom the people who are studying so much every day from the third perspective it might feel okay they are studying so much maybe they are sitting in the library sub but how much
of that time are they actually putting into studies when you actually deeply look they are on the same page since 2 hours so have they actually made any progress so maybe they're zoning out so most important is uh the number of hours the number of quality time you are spending uh reading and studying rather than looking at I studied 15 hours today just look at out of those 15 hours how many hours did you give your 100% best efficient like that is the most efficient you have been like so the people who you know top
even after less studying they study in that zone and use the other hours just for enjoying life and I think that's the way it should be if there's a student who's not even average like below average how long do you think would it take for him to be in the top five do you think anyone can do it I think every person can actually do it you should just know what are your weak areas and you should just put in the hours because the reason why you scoring low is maybe you have not done your
Basics well maybe you have not done your 10th maybe you have not done your 9th or maybe or 11th that well without putting in the hours there is no way levels you have to climb makes sense makes sense yeah so I guess that is it I just wanted to uh hit up on a touch up on a couple of Basics right and I think we've completely done it I believe this would be helpful for the people who are watching this video at least right uh I really so thank you so much so that was it
the entire conversation between me and ano happened for more than 1 hour but these were some of the most important questions and answers I hope it was useful but just remember all this strategy it's just a waste of time if you don't start working hard if you don't take the action so make sure that you start you use these tips and score at least 5 to 10 marks extra 5 to 10 marks more from the next exam onwards that is the goal I wish you all the best I want you to win and you will
win see you
