Amaiya Singhal: Hard work by putting in many hours into studying, help from teachers and coaching institute, and support of parents all added up and helped me achieve this.
Nilesh Mathur: Please tell us about your educational journey
Amaiya Singhal: I started preparing for JEE main when I was in class 10. A year later, when I was in class 11, I started developing an interest and became focused on my goal. When the COVID-19 lockdown phase started I became more focused and continued preparation in online mode. I have studied in APJ school, Noida for 14 years.
Nilesh Mathur: What was your preparation strategy. Please tell us about your study plan
Amaiya Singhal: I attended coaching classes at Unacademy regularly. I made notes, completed the study material in time, solved previous years’ question papers, attempted mock tests and attended problem solving sessions.

Amaiya Singhal: I watch YouTube, especially during breakfast. I watch TV shows, like KBC, with family during lunch and dinner. I used social media, but judiciously, for only 5-10 minutes daily to remain updated.
Nilesh Mathur: Are you interested in videogames?
Amaiya Singhal: Not really. My friend circle was engaged in JEE main preparation, so we played for half an hour just to relax.
Nilesh Mathur: What are your future plans?
Amaiya Singhal: I don’t have a long term future plan. But the immediate plan is to join IIT and study computer science. In future I would like to start my own venture. Elon Musk inspires me a lot

Amaiya Singhal: I would advise them to have a goal in mind. Many students do not have a goal. Since I was focused on JEE main from class 10 I feel that helped me crack the exam. My father and my grandfather are IITians. My elder brother is also an IITian. During the graduation ceremony of my brother I made up my mind to join the IITs and I remained focused on that.
Nilesh Mathur: Whom do you attribute your success to?
Amaiya Singhal: I would attribute my success to my teachers; they have played a very important role for all the learning and the support. Without the support from family I would have never achieved this. I was infected with COVID-19, my father was hospitalized for three weeks but my family always stood with me and motivated me.
