Aarush Jain secured AIR 37 in JEE Main 2026 BArch after consistently following a structured preparation routine with PW’s Architecture Creators Pro Batch. Although Mathematics and Drawing were challenging areas for him, he worked on them through regular practice, teacher guidance, and focused preparation.
Aarush joined the PW batch in April and followed the classes consistently. His preparation focused on improving his weaker areas while maintaining regular practice and avoiding distractions. His journey highlights how identifying weaknesses early and working on them consistently can help BArch aspirants improve their performance.
The JEE Main 2026 Paper 2 result brought a special moment for Aarush Jain as he secured AIR 37.
Aarush had already scored more than 99 percentile in his earlier performance, but the final AIR 37 was another achievement that confirmed his preparation and consistency.
Talking about his result and his parents' reaction, Aarush shared:
“Bahut hi badhiya sir, bahut khush hain. Ghar pe dono bahut khush hain.”
For Aarush, the latest result was not completely unexpected. His previous performance had already given him confidence, and this time he was expecting a strong rank.
His current goal is SPA Delhi, which he considers his target college for pursuing architecture.
Mathematics was one of the more challenging areas for Aarush during his JEE Main BArch preparation. However, instead of avoiding it, he understood that regular practice was necessary.
He explained:
“Maths ka toh matlab ek hi tareeka hai. Practice karni padti hai.”
According to Aarush, students need to work on Mathematics from the basic level, including calculations, because a strong performance in Mathematics is important for achieving a good rank.
He also advised students to practise questions that are relevant to the actual examination.
“Aapko jitni aap uski practice kar sakte ho, aapke liye utna beneficial rahega.”
His Mathematics strategy included:
Regular practice
Strong focus on basic calculations
Solving exam-relevant questions
Improving accuracy
Avoiding unnecessary questions that are far above or below the exam level
For Aarush, there was no shortcut to improving Mathematics. Practice was the key.
Drawing was another area that Aarush worked on during his preparation. He openly admitted that Drawing was not naturally one of his strongest skills.
Instead of avoiding it, he decided to improve through regular classes and practice.
Aarush explained how he approached drawing practice:
“Meri drawing hamesha se hi bahut hi kharab rahi hai. Lekin mereko us pe bhi kaam karna hi tha.”
He tried to replicate the hand movements demonstrated by his teachers during the classes. By observing the techniques and practising them, he gradually improved his drawing skills.
He further shared:
“Class mein jaise teacher bana raha hai, bilkul waise hand movement ko replicate karne ki koshish kari.”
This approach helped him understand how to create drawings that could perform well from an examination perspective.
Aarush joined the PW Architecture Creators Pro Batch in April, when the batch started. From that point, he consistently followed the classes.
Talking about his experience with PW, Aarush said:
“Maine aapka PW Design and Arch ka batch April mein hi liya tha, jab woh batch start hua tha. Tab se main usse consistently follow along kar raha hoon.”
He also highlighted the interactive nature of the classes. According to Aarush, the online classes did not feel like a typical online learning environment.
He shared:
“Personally mujhe aisa laga ki hum directly one-on-one baithe hain class mein. Aisa laga hi nahi ki online class hai.”
For Aarush, this interaction and guidance made his preparation journey smoother and helped him remain connected with his teachers.
One of the biggest lessons from Aarush's preparation is his approach towards weak subjects.
He believes students should identify their weak areas early and give them additional attention.
Aarush explained:
“Agar time hai, humne jaldi preparation start kar rakhi hai, toh us par focus karo jo weak hai.”
For example, Drawing was weak for him, so he worked more on it.
However, he also believes that the strategy should change when the exam is close. If students have limited time, they should focus on maximising their performance in the areas where they are already strong.
His strategy can therefore be divided into two stages.
Identify your weakest subject.
Give additional time to it.
Practise regularly.
Take guidance from teachers.
Track your improvement.
Strengthen your strongest areas.
Focus on questions you can solve accurately.
Do not completely ignore weaker sections.
Use the remaining time strategically.
Preparation is not always perfect, and Aarush also experienced distractions.
He admitted that he sometimes spent one or two hours watching reels. However, he eventually realised that this time was being wasted and reminded himself about his goal.
“Reels dekhne se nahi hoga crack.”
Aarush believes that students should not continuously postpone their preparation by telling themselves that they will start studying “tomorrow”.
“Aaj poori raat reels dekh li, kal se padhunga... woh nahi kaam karegi.”
His experience shows that distractions can happen, but students need to recognise them and return to their preparation instead of allowing them to become a daily habit.
When asked about his strategy for future JEE Main BArch aspirants, Aarush gave a simple message: work on your weaknesses when you have enough time.
He said:
“Meri Drawing weak thi, maine Drawing pe focus kiya. Jiski Maths weak hai, woh Maths pe focus kare.”
At the same time, students should understand their available preparation time and adjust their strategy accordingly.
His key advice includes:
Apni weak subject identify karo.
Weak areas ko ignore mat karo.
Maths ki regular practice karo.
Drawing ko regularly practise karo.
Classes ko consistently follow karo.
Exam-relevant questions solve karo.
Distractions ko control karo.
Preparation ko unnecessarily complicated mat banao.
Time ke according apni strategy change karo.
Aarush Jain’s journey to AIR 37 in JEE Main 2026 BArch is an example of how consistent preparation can help students achieve their goals. He faced challenges in Mathematics and considered Drawing a weak area, but instead of avoiding these subjects, he worked on improving them.
His preparation with the PW Architecture Creators Pro Batch, regular practice, teacher guidance, and focus on weaker areas supported his journey towards a strong rank.
Most importantly, Aarush did not depend on a complicated strategy. He focused on what needed improvement and kept working on it.
His message to future BArch aspirants is simple: “Jo weak hai, us par focus karo, consistently practice karo, aur excuses ko preparation ke beech mat aane do.”
