Dipendra gave an exclusive interview to "www.entrancecorner.com"

1. When did you start preparing for IITJEE 2009?
I loved tools from childhood and medical and Management is Yuck to me.
Engineering is cool and of course IIT is great. So all these factors motivated me
to prepare for IITJEE from class 11th although I was inspired to crack JEE in STD
9th itself!

• IITJEE - AIR 156 in General category.
• AIEEE- 340
• State Exam (UPTU) – 450
3. How many hours did you study?
I am not sure about this, but the bad thing about me is that I am very moody.
Suppose I HAVE to study a theorem in the evening but I don’t want to study at
that time, I leave it. But yes I was consistent and I studied on an average for 3
hours a day.
My day during preparations looked like...
• 3 Hours – Self Study

• 3 hours- House Coaching
• 1 hour- Travelling between coaching
• 7 Hour – sleep
• 2 hour- Miscellaneous

On the whole its great to be here but I don’t like the number hungry environment
here. Anything new? Yaa It seems that I am repeating Aamir Khan of 3 Idiots. Its
a chance of a lifetime to be in an IIT.

Physics: HC Verma
Chemistry: Teachers notes
Maths: Arihant series and TMH

Simple. "Study for study's sake". Aim for the final point not the intermediate point.
I mean What after IIT? Go to MIT then become like Bill Gates. Study for the sake
of studying.
Cheers and best of Luck
