The Full Story
In my village near Gaya, nobody in my family had gone into engineering. When I said I wanted to attempt JEE, some relatives quietly laughed — a girl from here, competing with city students who had been coached since Class 8?
That doubt lived in my head too. My biggest enemy wasn't Maths or Physics; it was the voice that kept whispering that people like me don't crack these exams.
The leaderboard became my answer to that voice. In the beginning my rank was far down, but every week I watched it climb. That measurable, undeniable progress was the only thing louder than my self-doubt.
I ended at 94.5 percentile in JEE Main. Not a topper, but enough to walk into a good college with my head held high — and enough to show one more girl in my village that it's possible.
Challenges Faced
Fighting self-doubt as the first person in my family to attempt an engineering entrance, with limited resources and people around me who didn't believe it could be done.
How Kitabey Helped
The leaderboard turned a vague dream into a concrete, moving target. Seeing real weekly progress kept me going on the days my own confidence disappeared completely.
Study Routine
- A fixed daily schedule to bring order to self-study
- Morning theory, afternoon problem-solving, evening revision
