Tejaswin Jha topped AIPMT 2014, outsmarting 523701 candidates who had appeared for the national level medical entrance exam. When we asked him

what he was focusing on during the AIPMT exam, Tejaswin candidly replied, “I wanted to rush home and meet my fam-ily”. Such candour and simplicity marks the personality of AIPMT 2014 Topper, Tejaswin Jha, who scored an amazing 682 marks out of 720 to achieve this remarkable success.

Careers360 spoke to Tejaswin on his AIPMT prepara-tion journey, his preparation schedules and challenges he faced during preparation. In this exclusive interview with Urvashi Dalal of Careers360, Tejaswin reveals his secret of becoming an AIPMT Topper. Fulfilling his Mamaji’s dream of becoming a Doctor, he discusses about his preparations techniques, his success mantra in AIPMT and tips for future AIPMT aspirants.

A believer of recreational activities, Tejaswin says he devot-ed his time equally in studies as well as other social activities. He believes in the Mantra of ‘getting the concepts clear’ and ‘start from the basics’, which helped him top AIPMT.

Careers360: Congratulations! It is a proud moment for you. How are you celebrating this achievement?

Tejaswin: Thank you. Coming home is my celebration. I studied and my hard work has paid off in my result. People are visiting our house and congratulating me, and everyone is happy and celebrating by sweets. My mama is very proud of me.

Careers360: Why especially mama ji? Did he inspire you a lot?

Tejaswin: He is the reason why I am a doctor. He wanted me to become a doctor and do something that would make my family proud. He always wanted to be a doctor but could not due to circumstances. So, basically he wanted me to pursue his dream. I am thankful to God that I have made my mama proud. I will continue putting efforts into my educa-tion further.

Careers360: How was your CBSE result?

Tejaswin: My XII board percentile was 96.8 and my total score in AIPMT was 682 bagging All India Rank 1. In Phys-ics, I scored 175 out of 180, Chemistry- 170 in 180 and 337 out of 360 in Biology.

Careers360: That is a great score! What was the most difficult and easiest subject in the exam for you?

Tejaswin: The easiest section for me was Physics and the toughest was Biology as few questions in this section were tricky. I had to think hard to answer them. Actually, Biology

has been my favourite subject since IX standard, and I have focused on this subject a lot. However, it all went well.

Careers360: What strategy did you plan for AIPMT? Share some guidelines you followed.

Tejaswin: Well there was no strategy as such. Besides school hours, I used to study for 6-7 additional hours and that was enough to cover my topics.

Moreover, I had an easy way of AIPMT preparation. If you follow it, then half of the preparation is already done.

Careers360: Really! What is your success mantra?

Tejaswin: The mantra is to study NCERT books rather than studying those heavy weight and expensive materials. NCERT is the best way to clear your base and concepts in all the three subjects-physics, chemistry and biology. Once your base is clear, scoring in AIPMT is easier for anyone.

Careers360: Didn’t you feel bore of studying all the time? What else did you do besides studies?

Tejaswin: I did all the recreational activities including, playing cricket, surfing Facebook and watching movies. It is important to indulge yourselves in all these activities besides studies as they help you to relax and get more active towards studies.

It was not such as all work and no play. I devoted time equally and this was how I got my success.

Careers360: Tell us about your favorite movies. Maga-zines or novels you like to read.

Tejaswin: I do not read novels, but I do read magazines and the latest was one related to a biology topic online. I like reading study material online.

I love Marvel Pictures like Iron Man, Avengers. I am a huge fan. Adventurous movies are my favourite.

Careers360: I agree with you on that. So now that you have topped the AIPMT 2014, what are your plans for college?

Tejaswin: I always wanted to join AIIMS. I am waiting for the AIIMS result and hopefully, will get admission there. Along with that, I am planning for Maulana Azad Medical College under AIPMT colleges, as my seniors and teachers have recommended it to me.

Careers360: Share some insights for the future AIPMT aspirants.

Tejaswin: I have shared my strategy and it is important that aspirants make sure that they study NCERT and clear all their basic concepts first. Once the concepts are clear questions becomes easy to tackle. I would also guide them to focus on Biology, as the terms might get difficult.

and fetched an overall score of 680 to be ranked second in AIPMT 2014.

In this interview with Careers360, Lovedeep says his focus was on getting a good rank in AIPMT 2014, but bagging the second rank was beyond his expectation. Despite being a student with extraordinary intelligence, he has a passion for doing magic tricks with family and friends. His parents, both of whom are doctors, were very helpful during the last stages of preparation.

Here, Lovedeep talks about his AIPMT preparation strat-egy, future dreams and his love for movies.

Below are the edited excerpts:

Careers360: What was your overall and subject wise scores in AIPMT 2014?

Lovedeep: My overall score in AIPMT 2014 was 680. I got 100% marks in Physics, i.e. 180 out of 180. In Chemistry, I scored 170 out of 180 and 330 in Biology out of 360.

Careers360: How did you prepare for AIPMT 2014? Which books did refer to?

Lovedeep: I just followed my coaching experts’ advice. I found NCERT books to be very helpful, especially Biol-ogy and Chemistry. Most of the Biology section was from NCERT book. Around 95% Biology section in AIPMT exam will come from NCERT books only. For Physics, I focused on strengthening my concepts. I studied from the notes given in coaching classes.

Careers360: How much time did you devote to your studies during AIPMT 2014 preparation?

Lovedeep: I did not study for prolonged hours. I just focused on completing my target syllabus, which I decided for myself when I sat for studying. I never decided how many hours I would devote, but I used to decide what all topics I will be covering in one sitting. I am not a bookworm at all.

Careers360: Besides studies, what do you do? What do you do in your leisure time?

Lovedeep: Showing magic tricks to my friends and fam-ily is a great source of recreation for me. I have very keen interest in learning unique magic tricks from television and books. Earlier, I was a bit active on Facebook, but left that completely during the preparation time.

Careers360: Which is your favorite movie? Which movie did you watch last?

Careers360: What about your family? How did they help you?

Lovedeep: My parents are doctors. They inspired and stood by me throughout my preparation time. There was no pressure from their side at all. Thankfully, they were support-ive and ignited a lot of confidence in me.

Careers360: What is your message to the AIPMT aspirants?

Lovedeep: I would like to suggest that they should follow their own instinct. For instance, if you feel like studying at midnight, then do it. Study whenever you want to. Solving sample papers and mock test papers will help you a lot in giv-ing the idea about the actual paper.

Careers360: Now you have cracked AIPMT 2014, which Medical College would you like to opt?

Lovedeep: My first preference is All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). Maulana Azad Medical College is the next on my list. I am hoping for the best!

Shreyasi Manish Shah from Gujarat scored an incredible 671 out of 720 with AIR 4 in AIPMT 2014. The 18-year old girl, who did not find too many surprises in the

AIPMT paper, says her score was up to her expectation. The AIPMT 2014 result turned out to be a happy relief for her.

In a telephonic conversation with Careers360, Shreyashi shares her exam preparation strategy and preferred medical college.

The alumni of Shiv Jyoti Convent School, Kota also talks about an exciting trip to Ranthambore National Park, planned by her parents last year.

Careers360: Congratulations for your success in AIPMT!

Shreyasi Shah: Thank you! It is such a wonderful feeling to know that your hard work has finally paid off.

Careers360: What were your scores, both section wise and overall?

Shreyasi Shah: My overall score was 671. I scored 170 in both Physics and Chemistry, while my score in Biology was 331.

Careers360: Share your preparation strategy for AIPMT.

Shreyasi Shah: I devoted a minimum of 7 hours to brush up all the important topics. To enhance my exam preparation strategy, I focused a lot on Botany and Zoology subject.

I started preparing for AIPMT 2014 from first year of inter-mediate examination. Preparation strategy at times slowed down, so that I do not miss scoring high in the intermediate examination. During my pre-boards and board examination, I diverted my focus from AIPMT preparation.

Careers360: How did you divide your preparation schedule among the three subjects of AIPMT?

Shreyasi Shah: My Preparation schedule was not time specific. In fact, it was subject and topic specific. A few top-ics under zoology and botany were both time and energy consuming. So I invested my time depending on the subject and the number of important topics in it.

Since, I like Botany I used to revise at least one to two chap-ters in a week and make important notes of it. To improve my speed of solving physics questions, I set a deadline to attempt 10 questions everyday and to solve them within a deadline of 45 minutes.

Careers360: Which subjects were the easiest and toughest?

Shreyasi Shah: Actually all subjects were equally for me.

Aravind Subramanian secured All India Rank 4 in AIIMS 2014 entrance examination and obtained decent AIR in several other medical competitive

examinations including JIPMER, KEAM, and AIPMT. Ara-vind primarily aimed JIPMER 2014 and cracked it with AIR 17. Though other medical entrance exams were secondary in his list, his AIR 4 in AIIMS reflects his full-proof preparation strategy for different Medical entrance exams.

In this interview with Careers360, Aravind says, he began preparing for medical exams right after his Class X board results. He says that his preparation strategy was to work hard and have clarity on basic concepts of Physics, Chemis-try, and Biology subjects.

A reliable goalkeeper for his school football team in Class X, Aravind shares the rationale behind his emotional equa-tion and reasons for preferring JIPMER over AIIMS to pursue his MBBS dream. The topper also talks on his fond-ness of reading science fiction novels and his aspiration to become neurologist.

Interview Excerpts:

Careers360: Congratulations for remarkable perfor-mance in AIIMS MBBS 2014 and in other medical com-petitive examination.

Aravind Subramanian: Thank you. I am very happy

with results as I have managed to secure decent rank in other medical competitive examinations including JIPMER, KEAM, and AIPMT. I am eagerly waiting to embark on my journey to pursue the MBBS course.

Careers360: What was your rank in other medical exams this year? Did you target any specific exam to excel among others exams?

Aravind Subramanian: I secured AIR 6, 17, 32 in KEAM, JIPMER, and AIPMT respectively. Yes, I put extra effort to crack Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research entrance examination. My mind was preoccupied with a desire to achieve good rank in JIPMER this year. There was an emotional equation for the men-tioned inclination. My elder brother is pursuing MBBS from JIPMER and I always aspired to join him.

Careers360: Share your exam preparation strategy. How did you divide your preparation schedule among the three subjects?

Aravind Subramanian: My preparation strategy was to work hard and have clarity on basic concepts of Phys-ics, Chemistry and Biology. I started preparing for various medical competitive examinations simultaneously with my intermediate examinations.

Then, as I entered Intermediate last year, and focused on physics. I made a point to attempt and solve at least 20 numericals in a day within a set deadline to boost question-solving speed. This really helped me solve questions in time efficient manner during several entrance examinations.

Careers360: What was your preparation strategy a month before AIIMS 2014 exam?

Aravind Subramanian: A month before AIIMS 2014 exam, I was busy in revising notes. I started solving previ-ous years sample papers just before 10-15 days of the exam. Revision exercise allowed me to analyze my weak areas and brought good improvement in my exam preparation.

I also used to take 4-5 mock tests a week, which helped me to improve my question solving speed. A day before the exam I indulged in activities like listening to music and playing video games to bust exam restlessness.

Careers360: It was a quite hectic schedule for you. Could you find time for outdoor activities?

Aravind Subramanian: Indeed, they used to be hectic days for me. To break the monotony of regular study sched-ule, at times, I used to play football and basketball matches with my friends. I was goalkeeper of my school football team in class X. Playing matches refreshes my mind and increases my ability to focus.

Careers360: Which subjects were the easiest and the toughest for you?

Aravind Subramanian: I found Chemistry to be the easiest. However, Physics was the toughest as the questions were quite time consuming.

Careers360: Why MBBS? What are your future plans after having an MBBS degree?

Aravind Subramanian: I have already mentioned, my elder brother Abhinand Subramanian, an MBBS student at JIPMER, was my role model. My brother scored AIR 5 in AIPMT in the year 2011. He inspired me to enter this noble profession.

I aspire to become neurologist.

Careers360: Are you fond of movies?

Aravind Subramanian: I am not a big movie buff instead, I prefer playing video games. But, recently just to accompany my friend I watched Malayalam movie titled “Banglore Days”, written and directed by Anjali Menon. For friends I am always ready to embrace such plans to spend quality time with them.

Careers360: Apart from studies, what falls in your interest zone?

Aravind Subramanian: I love reading science fiction novels. I have read “Prey”, a techno thriller novel by Michael Crichton, and “Inheritance” by Christopher Paolini. I also like collecting stamps of different countries.

Careers360: Which medical college are you planning to seek admission?

Aravind Subramanian: Undoubtedly, my only choice is JIPMER,Pondicherry. There exists an emotional equation. I want to follow my elder brother, who is currently pursuing MBBS from JIPMER.

Akshay Ganesh Kumar, who holds AIR 7 in AIPMT 2014 in a chat with Careers360 revealed his success mantra. Akshaya, who got 88% in his +2 Board Exams,

says that he abstained from playing after 11th but relaxed himself by watching the wildlife programmes on NGC and Discovery Channel.

In this exclusive interview with Careers360, Akshay Ganesh Kumar shares his preparation strategy for AIPMT 2014, which includes his routine study of 12 hours.

His mother, Dr. Priya Ganesh Kumar, MD DGO (Mum-bai) DGO (CFS) who is a Gynaecologist and runs a Nursing Home in Thane, Mumbai has been supportive during his entire preparation straightway beginning from Class 10th. Father, Mr. V. Ganeshkumar who is Gold Medalist in MBA and is currently Joint General Manager of Essar Energy based in Thane stood with him all through his rigorous preparation.

Akshay, a fun loving and sporty boy says that he used to play Football and Tennis while he was in 11th but eventually sacri-ficed it for the cost of AIPMT 2014. He doesn’t like watching movies but has interest in wildlife programmes.

Read below the excerpts of AIPMT 2014 Topper AIR 7 Interview –

Careers360: Congratulations for AIR 7 in AIPMT 2014.

Akshay: Thank you. It’s my first interview. I would like to thank my mentors, especially mom and dad who were there all through my preparation.

Careers360: What were your overall vis-à-vis section wise scores?

Akshay: I scored 155 out of 180 in Physics, 330 out of 360 in Biology and full marks in Chemistry. In total, I scored 665 out of 720.

Careers360: That’s so good! You scored 180 of 180 in Chemistry.

Akshay: Biology was an easy take for me. Physics and Chemistry were quite interesting for me as always. I had an inclination towards Chemistry and it paid me back.

Careers360: Did you expect that you could score this much and hold an AIR?

Akshay: Honestly speaking, I didn’t. I only practiced and performed to get admission in a good medical college.

Careers360: When did you start all this preparation?

Akshay: Just after having my 10th Boards, I opted for Biol-ogy and started preparing for AIPMT. My mom practices

gynecology and she motivated me to choose medical field.

Careers360: Share your preparation strategy for the most sought after medical entrance exam.

Akshay: I used to wake up early morning at 6:30 am and take an hour to plan meticulously for the entire day. I believe that planning is necessary to reach a perfect goal. I studied the entire day with short breaks in between and, generally tried to finish it all by evening 6:30 pm in the evening. If it were needed, I would put some extra hours after 6:30 pm so that I was able to finish whatever I had planned for the day.

Careers360: Given the effort you put in, didn’t you feel bore and tired every day? What did you do in between to relax?

Akshay: No! Not at all. I didn’t feel bore because I took every subject as an interesting one, even if I had to go through the same chapters again and again. Yes, when I felt tired, I took naps, which I call ‘power naps’ to get ready to prepare again.

Careers360: What were your activities other than studies? Which are your favourite games? Tell about movies.

Akshay: After I had my daily studies, I entertained through watching the wildlife programmes at National Geographic Channel (NGC) and Discovery Channels. I like playing foot-ball and tennis but I had to abstain these after 11th.

I understood that I had to sacrifice these for the sake of AIPMT. Now, I am happy that it paid me back. Yes, some-times I also did yoga as my mom tells that it helps in reju-venating body and brain and when I had to study so much I always took the help of yoga to relax and calm my prepara-tion pressures.

I don’t like watching movies. They only entertain you and do not disseminate any information and knowledge.

Careers360: What about social media? Are you on FB, Google etc.?

Akshay: Sorry, but I deactivated all these after 9th! I only use Whatsapp. I used the application to discuss doubts and confusions from my friends and mentors, teachers, etc.

Careers360: What after AIPMT results?

Akshay: I am just waiting for AIIMS Result. There after I will choose the best, whichever I get. After my MBBS, I have a keen interest in surgery but, at present, I am not sure which specialization I will take.

Careers360: Your message for upcoming AIPMT aspirants.Akshay: I am not so much competent to advice but still I would only share that make a plan and follow your plan accordingly without lagging, without feeling bored or any-thing else. Practice well, till you reach your goal. Follow the tortoise and not the rabbit. Please involve your parents in your preparation. They are the one who will stand next to you always. Our parents are always there to guide us. They can never go wrong.

Careers360: All the best Akshay for your bright future. Once again congratulations for the success.Akshay: Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity!

Rohit Nathani has scored 665 out of 720 to emerge as the ninth topper of AIPMT. The 17-year old boy, who has grown up among doctors, describes medicine as a

family business.

At ninth rank, Rohit’ s rank has far outshone his expecta-tion and gives all his credit to his family, who ironed out whatever obstacles he faced.

Here, Rohit talks to Careers360 about his dream to become a doctor, his passion for mobile gaming- temple run being his all time favorite pastime.

Careers360: Congratulation for bagging single digit rank?

Rohit: I was already expecting a good score after the AIPMT 2014 answer key was out. However, I thought my rank would be somewhere between 15 to 20.This was incred-ible.

Careers360: How much did you make. Overall and section-wise?

Rohit: My overall score is 665. I scored 170 in Physics, 175 in Chemistry and 320 in Biology.

Careers360: Incredible! So, you got nearly perfect scores in Physics and Chemistry. How did you manage this? What was your strategy?

Rohit: Well my plan was to precede one topic at a time and put in all my effort to it. The idea was to prepare in such a way that I do not have to do it over and again.

I believe that I cannot stop halfway.

I did not have a schedule as such but made it a point to study at least 6 to 7 hours every day without fail. I prepared for two years, which is a long time. So I had time to prepare for each topic at ease. I also sat for mock tests at Aakash Institute, which helped me a lot.

Careers360: That is great! Did you face any obstacle? How did your family help you?

Rohit: My family was supportive throughout my journey. They have always been with me. My father is a doctor and my brother is studying medicine at AIIMS. I got all the help I could from them. They helped me, whenever and whatever difficulties I faced at the time of preparation. My mother is the happiest person in the world now. Indeed, it makes me happy.

Careers360: How are you social interactions? Are you on FB?

Rohit: Of course! Since, I could not be too active while preparing. So now I have started my social gatherings on Facebook.

KEAM Medical topper, Arun Ashokan scored a bril-liant 950 out of 960 in KEAM Medical 2014. The topper, who got a perfect score in Physics had found

KEAM medical entrance to be too easy.

In an interview with Careers360, the 18 year old Kerala boy, talks about his dream of becoming a doctor, his expec-tations from the entrance exam and the defining role his family played in catapulting him towards the exclusive club of toppers.

Apart from his family, the topper credits his self-confidence and shares his smart preparation strategy for the success in the most important medical exam in Kerala.

Following are the edited excerpts:

Careers360: What was your overall and subject wise scores in KEAM Medical 2014?

Arun: My overall score was 950. I scored 470 in Paper 1 and 480 in Paper2. I scored full marks in Physics.

Careers360: Wow! It seems that Physics was one of your strong points.

Arun: Yes, I was confident in Physics. But Biology needs more attentions while appearing for KEAM Medical Entrance.

Careers360: Share your preparation strategy with the aspirants.

Arun: I studied for just 2 to 3 hours daily, unlike my hostel mates, who studied for at least 15 hours every day. But, dur-ing those hours I concentrated solely on my studies and I prepared smartly.

As already mentioned, Biology should be the top focus. I spent a lot of time in Biology. I basically, referred to NCERT textbooks. In fact, I finished the NCERT book on Biology at least 10 times!

In comparison, I did not focus much on Physics. I started preparations by solving problems and followed by reading the textbooks 3 times.

Chemistry is my weak point. I had to prepare well for it. I focused on it next to Biology.

Careers360: Were you expecting to get such a brilliant score in KEAM 2014?

Arun: Although I was confident, I was not sure if would be among the toppers. You see the exam was too easy for me. But, that was until the Answer Key came out. When I crosschecked the answer key for KEAM, I realized I could be getting a good score. That was when I become confident about expecting a top score.

Careers360: How did your family inspire your prepa-ration?

Arun: My family is not financially strong. But they still sent me for coaching and kept me in a hostel for my preparations. That was a big thing for me. Their support was utmost impor-tant. My family’s blessings are one of the reasons I scored such good marks in my exam.

Careers360: What about AIPMT? Did you sit for it?

Arun: I was not much interested in AIPMT. I intend to stay in Kerala and serve the people here. As such, KEAM was my focus.

Careers360: Tell us what do you do when you are not studying?

Arun: Honestly, I sleep! I am a homely boy. That is one of the reasons, why I want to be in Kerala, itself.

However, I do follow cricket a little bit. Virat Kohli is among my favorite cricketers. Yes, I love Malayalam movies! Mohanlal is my favorite star.
