JEE Advanced 2024 Results: AIR 1 Ved Lahoti says ‘healthy competition at Kota helped clear this exam’

Lahoti, like the majority of JEE toppers, wishes to attend IIT Bombay to study computer science engineering (CSE). In an interview with IndianExpress.com, he stated that during his initial years of studies at the institute, he plans to investigate opportunities in artificial intelligence, CSE, and other fields before determining his next course of action. In the future, he also thinks that India will have a wealth of opportunities and room for advancement in artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technology.

Today, June 9, the Joint Entrance Examination Advanced (JEE Advanced) 2024 results were released. This year, 48,248 students met the requirements to be admitted to IIT. The majority of eligible students come from the IIT Madras region. Even though about 11,180 people attend IIT Madras, as many as 10,255

The 17-year-old participated in both JEE Main 2024 sessions. He received 295 marks in the April session of JEE Main 2024, compared to 280 in the January session.

Ved pursued a non-medical career because he enjoyed math. He was enrolled in the Allen Institute in Kota, Rajasthan, for a two-year classroom coaching program. His hometown is Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

Though he stayed alone, his mother went to see him at Kota once every two months. He said that the competition in the city was a healthy one and that it is necessary to succeed in any field. “A positive pressure, combined with healthy competition is necessary to clear an exam like JEE Advanced,” he added.

He said that talking to his parents over the phone daily did not make him feel alone while he was preparing for JEE.

Speaking about his preparation strategy, the JEE Advanced CRL 1 said that he studied from the notes provided by the coaching institute and NCERT textbooks. Although he relied on the coaching materials and is thankful to the institute for clearing his doubts, he did not feel coaching is mandatory to crack JEE Advanced. “A coaching only streamlines the preparation and guides in general. It can be helpful but not compulsory,” Ved added.

Talking about his strategy to approach the question paper, he said he started the JEE Advanced 2024 question paper with chemistry, followed by physics. He devoted maximum time to mathematics.

When asked about how he prepared for JEE and board exams simultaneously, Ved said it was not challenging.

“There were many overlaps in the syllabus of both exams. The only difference was in the pattern of questions asked,” he said adding that only English and physical education required a little attention. Rest, all were the same. Unlike previous years, the JEE Main and JEE Advanced question papers were comparatively easier this year, the topper added.
