Ahmedabad student gets AIR 61, first among girls from Gujarat
A girl student from Ahmedabad from Aakash Institute, the national leader in test preparatory services, has secured 61st AIR in the result of the prestigious Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2022, much to the elation of her parents, and the entire staff of the institute. She has scored centum both in physics and maths while in chemistry it was 95 percent.
She joined Aakash Institute in a four-year classroom programme to crack IIT JEE, considered the world’s toughest entrance exam. She attributed her entry into the elite list of top percentiles in JEE to her efforts in understanding the concepts, and strict adherence to learning schedule.
Speaking to navjeevanexpress.com, Jaladhi Joshi, said, “I am grateful that Aakash Institute has helped me with both. But for the content and coaching from the institute, I would not have grasped many concepts in different subjects in a short period of time. I have studied 12 to 13 hours daily. My tutors have always been very responsive to my queries even at odd hours. I am indebted to them. I want to join the IIT Mumbai for my UG.”
JEE Advanced is conducted annually for students who have qualified JEE Mains organized by one of the IITs yearly. While JEE Main is for admission to several National Institute of Technologies (NITs) and other centre-aided engineering colleges in India, JEE Advanced is considered as the sole prerequisite for admission to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). However, Students must appear for JEE Main to sit for JEE Advanced.
