  second year itself. It is very important to first
  develop your concepts and be thorough with the
  courses in our curriculum and then practice with
  test series. He took the online test series where
  He used to make many silly mistakes. He improved
  on them and in the exam, He performed well by
  minimizing it. His gross score was 80 and in the
  normalized form, He secured 88.39. He had never
  expected an AIR 1. He knew He had done well and
  was capable of a rank in the 20s or 30s but AIR 1
  came as a surprise. NPTEL lectures, books, his
  notes, a handbook of formulas and course books
  was what he referred to. He never joined any sort
  of coaching classes.
