Q. To whom do you attribute your successful CUET topper journey? What would you suggest to future CUET aspirants in terms of preparation, attitude etc?
A. I attribute my success to my parents as well as my tuition and school teachers. Without them, I would not have been where I am today. I would suggest the CUET aspirants to read the questions carefully, and to practise this technique while attempting mock test papers too. They should be well versed with the NCERT. Secondly, remain calm and composed during the exam, with a focus on the present, without thinking about the future, results, etc. While doing revision, try and review the mistakes you have made while attempting the mock papers. Try correcting those and try not to repeat them. Have faith in the process and you will succeed!
