For Jaipur’s Aman Bansal, who topped the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2016 on Sunday, self-belief and studying regularly helped him achieve his goal.

“I studied for around 5-6 hours daily for success in JEE Advanced,” the 17-year-old said. He scored 320 marks to clinch the top slot in JEE Advanced in the country.
“Students should clear their doubts immediately ... during classes,” Bansal, a student of Kota-based Allen Career Institute’s Jaipur centre, said.
Bansal wants to pursue computer science from IIT Mumbai and said that regular studies with self-belief are the key to success when asked about his success mantra.
Son of an engineer father and homemaker mother, Bansal cited participation in group discussions with fellow students as the key factor for success as it removes several doubts and develops a better understanding.
