He added that students must never neglect any of the three subjects, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. This is because each mark from any subject holds similar importance and plays crucial role in improving their overall rank in engineering entrances.
2- Practice Regularly to Increase Your Attempting Speed
Debaditya told that the key factor behind his big success in the WBJEE 2017 and JEE Advanced 2017 exams was his speed. In such exams, one needs to cover a large number of questions in a limited time frame.

Students will need to be clear of the concepts explained therein and practice the problems. He shared that the books that he followed for his preparation for WBJEE, JEE Main and JEE Advanced exams included the study material from FIITJEE, Arihant, and Tata McGraw Hill.
6- Coaching is Never Mandatory to Crack Top Engineering Entrances
Debaditya conveyed to engineering aspirants that it is an add-on to join a coaching center for the preparation of a reputed engineering entrance, but it is never mandatory. There are lots of students who secure very good marks in JEE Main, JEE Advanced, WBJEE and other at par engineering entrances without joining a coaching center.
This will be very much possible, if you follow the same discipline that coaching institutions implement for their students. At the end, the only thing that matters is that students who would have worked hard in the correct direction would attain success.
So to conclude, these were the best tips shared by Debaditya for aspirants going to appear in WBJEE 2018 . We hope Debaditya’s success mantras will help you enhance your preparation and score good marks.
