New Delhi [India], May 15: At a time when competitive exams and coaching culture often dominate academic discussions, many successful students still believe consistency and self-discipline matter more than shortcuts. One such student, who is planning to pursue Software Engineering from Pune University, credits regular self-study, effective time management, and family support for his strong academic performance. In this interaction, he speaks about his daily routine, revision strategy, handling stress during preparation, and the importance of hard work in achieving success. Q. What was your daily routine and study timetable during preparation? I used to study for a minimum of 3 to 4 hours every day after school. Q. Which books, notes, or online resources did you find most helpful? I followed only State Board books and did not use any guides. Q. Did you prefer self-study or coaching classes? Self-study is the best. Q. How did you use technology for preparation? Mock tests and clearing doubts became easier because of technology. Q. What major obstacles did you face, and how did you overcome them? The biggest challenge was finishing too much within a stipulated time. Time management was the key. Q. How did you handle stress, burnout, or pressure? I listened to songs and practiced meditation. Q. What motivated you during tough or stressful times? I just kept going and left the rest to God. Q. How did you manage time between studies, relaxation, and other activities? It was difficult, but I tried my best to balance all of them. Q. What was your strategy for revision? I did at least two revisions per subject. Mock tests helped me realise my mistakes. Q. What is your “success mantra” for scoring high? Hard work and being lucky. Q. Who do you credit for your success — parents, teachers, or mentors? Mostly my father. No matter what, he always motivates me. Everyone else also played their role nicely, and I am grateful to all of them. Q. What advice would you give to future aspirants/students? Intelligence is fine, but nothing substitutes hard work. Q. What are your plans for the future? I am planning to pursue Software Engineering, preferably from Pune University. And with that, he signed out — carrying both humility and ambition into the next phase of his journey. Wishing him all the best for his future.
