PW JEE Main Paper 2 Topper Nyasha’s Success Story: How She Secured 98.43 Percentile

For Nyasha, preparing for JEE Main Paper 2 was about understanding her strengths, working on her weaker areas, and staying consistent. She secured an impressive 98.43 percentile in JEE Main Paper 2, even though Maths was not her strongest subject.

Instead of spending all her preparation time on one section, Nyasha focused on Aptitude and General Knowledge, where she felt more confident. At the same time, she understood that Maths could give her an advantage over other students if she improved her performance.

Her preparation journey also involved balancing Class 12 board exams with competitive exam preparation. She decided early that taking a drop was not an option for her and wanted to make the most of her preparation year.

With support from her teachers, family, and PW’s Design and Architecture resources, Nyasha worked consistently toward her goal.

Nyasha Focused on Her Strengths While Preparing for JEE Main Paper 2

JEE Main Paper 2 includes sections such as Mathematics, Aptitude, and Drawing. Nyasha knew that Maths was not her strongest area, so she focused more on sections where she could score well.

She was also preparing for JEE Main for engineering, which gave her some familiarity with Maths. However, she did not spend as much time on the subject because she knew that it was not where she could score the most.

Talking about her preparation, she said:

“My Maths is not my strongest point but I was preparing for JEE engineering as well, so it was like okay, I can do some questions but I did not focus on that that much.”

Instead, she focused more on Aptitude, General Knowledge, and planning-based questions. These were areas where she felt more confident and could attempt a larger number of questions.

Her approach shows the importance of identifying your strengths during preparation while still working on subjects that can improve your overall score.

Nyasha Believed Maths Could Give Students an Advantage

Although Maths was not Nyasha’s strongest subject, she believed students should give it proper attention. According to her, scoring well in Maths can help students move ahead of many other candidates because not everyone is equally comfortable with the subject.

She advised students:

“If your drawing is not good, you should definitely start preparing for Maths because Maths will definitely give you an edge over other people.”

She also felt that students should practice Maths from the beginning of their preparation rather than waiting until the exam is close.

For students preparing for JEE Main Paper 2, regular Maths practice can help improve speed, accuracy, and confidence.

Daily Drawing Practice Can Improve Performance

Drawing was another important part of Nyasha’s preparation. Although she did not consider herself excellent at drawing, she understood that regular practice was necessary.

She recommended that students who are already good at drawing should continue practising every day and try to improve their skills further.

Her advice was:

“If your drawing is good then just practice every single day because you don't know what kind of pressure you will have on the exam day.”

Nyasha also highlighted the importance of consistency. Students should not assume that being naturally good at drawing means they do not need practice.

Regular sketching can help students become more comfortable with different types of questions and reduce pressure during the actual examination.

PW’s Lectures and Live Sessions Supported Nyasha’s Preparation

PW was an important part of Nyasha’s preparation. She joined the PW Iconic Batch and used the Design Iconic resources for her preparation.

She watched lectures while also preparing for other entrance exams and found the guidance sessions particularly useful.

Talking about PW’s contribution, she said:

“I joined the Iconic batch and I used to design Iconic. I watched all of those lectures because I was also preparing for UCEED.”

Nyasha also remembered the advice given by the PW teachers, especially regarding time management and exam preparation.

During the final days of preparation, she watched live recordings and advice sessions. These sessions helped her stay motivated and focused before the exam.

She said:

“On the last days I also watched all of the live recordings and all of the advice sessions that you guys took. So that also really gave me motivation to move forward.”

How Nyasha Managed Social Media Distractions During Preparation

One of the biggest challenges Nyasha faced during preparation was distraction. She initially deleted her social media accounts but found herself downloading them again.

Instead of trying to completely eliminate every form of entertainment, she decided to keep just one activity that helped her relax: music.

She explained:

“I deleted all of my social media first of all, but then I kept downloading it again and again. But still, I decided to have only one major distraction and that was music.”

Music became her way to relax while solving questions. She could study while listening to music in the background, which helped her manage stress without spending too much time on social media.

Her experience highlights how students can create boundaries around distractions rather than allowing them to take over their preparation time.

Nyasha Balanced Board Exams and Competitive Preparation

Balancing Class 12 board exams with JEE Main Paper 2 preparation was another important part of Nyasha’s journey.

She did not want to take a drop year because she felt that the pressure of preparing again would be difficult for her. Therefore, she decided that she had to perform well in the same year.

She said:

“I did not want to take a drop because I will not be able to handle that mental pressure. So I was like, whatever I do, I have to do it this year.”

Her school teachers and PW teachers supported her during this period. This helped her manage both board exams and competitive exam preparation without feeling overwhelmed.

For Nyasha, the motivation to avoid a drop became a driving force. She wanted to give her best during the year and make the most of the opportunity.

Nyasha Focused on Her Strengths Before the Exam

Looking back at her preparation, Nyasha believes that students should first understand their strengths and then plan their preparation accordingly.

She advised students to focus more on areas where they are naturally strong while also making sure that no subject is completely ignored.

She explained:

“Your first priority should always be your strength. If you're really good at drawing, just make it perfect.”

At the same time, she recommended that students work on Maths because it can become an important scoring area.

Her strategy was not about ignoring weaker subjects but about using available preparation time wisely.

Nyasha’s 98.43 Percentile Came as a Surprise

Nyasha was not expecting such a high percentile when she appeared for the exam. In fact, she said she was mainly focused on completing the exam and going home because she was hungry.

She did not even check the answer key after the examination.

When her result was announced, she was surprised to see her 98.43 percentile.

She recalled:

“I was not expecting much. I didn't even check the answer key, but when the result came out, I was very shocked.”

The result made her extremely happy, and she immediately shared the news with her parents, who were also very happy and proud of her achievement.

Nyasha’s Advice to Future JEE Main Paper 2 Aspirants

For students preparing for JEE Main Paper 2, Nyasha's message is simple: work hard, understand your strengths, and stay consistent.

She recommends regular practice, especially for Maths and Drawing. Students should also use the resources available to them and stay connected with useful guidance sessions.

Her final advice was:

“Just work hard and honestly. I would advise you to join all PW live streams because they are really good at making you understand and, most importantly, they motivate you a lot.”

Nyasha’s journey shows that students do not need to be equally strong in every section to perform well. By identifying her strengths, improving her weaker areas, limiting distractions, and staying consistent, she secured 98.43 percentile in JEE Main Paper 2.

Her story can motivate future aspirants to create a realistic preparation strategy, focus on daily practice, and stay confident throughout their JEE Main Paper 2 journey.
