In an exclusive interview, Aarav opens up about his preparation strategy, the role of Aakash in his journey, and the techniques that helped him achieve his dream of getting into AIIMS Delhi.
Why I Chose Aakash for NEET Preparation?
At the very beginning of his journey, Aarav made a decision that laid the foundation for his success – choosing Aakash Institute Mumbai. Recommended by seniors and inspired by the success of previous city toppers from Aakash, he was convinced that this was the right place for his NEET preparation.

“When I saw students from my own city making it to AIIMS and top ranks with Aakash’s guidance, I knew I was in the right hands,” says Aarav.
Aarav’s Clear Goal: AIIMS Delhi
From day one, Aarav was clear about one thing – AIIMS Delhi was his dream destination. This clarity helped him stay focused throughout the two years of preparation. Despite the ups and downs, this unwavering goal served as a constant source of motivation.
“Whenever I felt low, I’d visualize myself at AIIMS Delhi. That image was powerful enough to pull me back on track.”
NEET Topper AIR 10 Smart Revision Strategy
One of the key highlights of Aarav’s preparation was his Mistake Notebook. Every time he made a mistake in a test, whether conceptual or silly, he would note it down in a separate notebook.
> “Before every major test, I revised that notebook religiously. It helped me avoid repeating the same errors and improved my accuracy significantly.”
This simple but effective trick played a crucial role in reducing negative marking and boosting his confidence.
The Power of NCERT & Aakash Resources
Like most toppers, Aarav credits NCERT as the holy grail for NEET. But what made his preparation special was how he used Aakash’s curated tools in sync with NCERT.
- Know Your NCERT helped him identify frequently asked lines and tricky concepts.
- Momentum Booster sharpened his problem-solving skills.
- FTS (Final Test Series) exposed him to a variety of question types and exam temperament.
“I prioritized NCERT line by line. But Aakash’s tools added the needed edge to my preparation,” Aarav explains.
Aarav Challenges Faced & Lessons Learned
Even top rankers go through struggles. Aarav recalls moments when he scored below expectations in mock tests or made silly mistakes repeatedly.
“It’s natural to feel disheartened. But what matters is how fast you bounce back. I focused on analyzing my mistakes rather than overthinking them.”
He also emphasized the importance of mental well-being, staying away from distractions, and building a support system with mentors and peers.
Message to Future NEET Aspirants
Aarav’s journey is a reminder that success in NEET is not just about studying hard – it’s about studying smart, staying consistent, and learning from your mistakes. His disciplined approach, strategic planning, and the right guidance from Aakash Institute helped him achieve what many dream of.
> “Believe in your process, follow NCERT like your Bible, and don’t be afraid of setbacks. If I can do it, so can you.
