When asked to elaborate on his four-step strategy,Shukla said, “I repeated four-steps for each and every concept and each and every lesson that I learned. The first step was listening to the lecture or the concept that was being taught or delivered by the teacher in class. The next step that I focused on in my preparation was solving the problems for my practice based on the concept. The third step was clearing all of my doubts related to the concept with my teacher and the fourth step in the process was the carrying out of error analysis based on all of the questions that went wrong in the test that I had given, based on that concept. These are the four processes that I repeat for each and every concept in each and every lesson that is being learned and taught.”
Regarding the role played by his teachers and Byju’s in his success Shukla said, “I first learned about Aakash through the Aakash National Talent Hunt Exam. What attracted me to Aakash was its friendly classroom environment and the flexibility it offered in studying. With my interest in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and the engineering background of my parents, I felt it was the right fit for me.”
“The role of my teachers at Aakash was invaluable. They provided me with the right resources, confidence, and motivation to excel in my preparation. Their encouragement and guidance boosted my confidence and prepared me for the final examination,” Shukla disclosed.
Asked about his parents suppoWrt in his preparations for JEE Shukla said, “My parents played a crucial role in my journey, making numerous sacrifices and offering unwavering support. They prioritized my study hours over social activities and even sacrificed their own comfort for my benefit. Their support, especially my mother’s dedicated study sessions with me, motivated me to strive for excellence.”
Quizzed about his preparations for the exam Shukla disclosed that he preferred self-study as it allowed him to focus and take personal accountability for his learning. Identifying and addressing weaknesses helped him bolster his understanding and confidence. “I like to study during the morning hours and I do not prefer late night study.
