Here are the Interview of AIR 1 in IIT-JEE of different years (2008-2012) -
2008 (Arvind)
Q. Arvind, how you used to relax you after
continuous study for long periods?
”Walking around in fresh air...."
Q. What were the things you used to keep in mind before taking any exam?
I used to formulate a strategy of order of solving problems - What level of hardness of problems I should start with and how to schedule them. Also an attempt to analyse all previous exam papers and keep track of silly mistakes one is likely to commit…
Q. What mistakes you commited during your prepartion?
A.1. Related to course : During earlier stages of prepartion, I tried to flood myself with lot of problems from lots of sources without even having my basic concepts clear.Clarity of concepts is absolutely important before solving problems.2. Related to exams: Must go into exams after proper rest.3. Related to revision: Trying to cover a lot of new material & ignoring those done long time ago.
Q. What is your view regarding revision… By what time students should be able to finish their prepartion and should start revision ?
A. I think revision is best done by taking a mix of new or untried( by self) problems from all topics of a subject and working them in timed exam like condition. In my opinion there need not be any hurry for starting revision, whenever started, the entire subject should have been completed.
Q. How many hours you think one should devote daily for prepartion ?
A. I won’t like to suggest number of daily hours of study -as long as one is gaining enough confidence in solving problems.
Q. What was your idea about IIT before entering and what is your idea about it now ?
A. There is too much of hype surrounding IIT and IITians , in my case, all after all are human beings.
Q. When exactly you had started your prepartion ?
A. Soon after my class X examinations.
Q. Any thing you want to share from yourside that you think would be helpful for students preparing for IIT ?
A. Before jumping to problems ,pay full emphasis on concepts. Emphasis must be given to mock examinations to develop proper paper tackling approach.
Q. Which books you consider are must for prepartion ?
A.1. Mathematicsa. S L Loney -trignometry & coordinate geometryb. TMH- IIT Mathematics(esp algebra)c. M L Khanna -IIT Mathematics2. Physics a.Concepts of Physics(H C Verma)b.Problems in Physics (Abhay Kumar Singh) (the problems need to be selected)c.IIT Physics - Oswal Publishers (for problems)d.Resnick & Haliday ( for conceptual clarification in some topics)3. Chemistrya.IIT Chemistry -O P Agarwalb.Schaum’s series -Organic Chemistryc.Solamons(don’t remember book name) (for organic chemistry)
Q. Any comment regarding the various correspondence coaching materials available ?

2010 (Anumula Jithendar Reddy)
How does it feel?
I am so happy. I have worked hard for the last two years. It feels very nice to see the result. I was very nervous before the exam. Before going into the exam hall, I took 10 minutes off and thought of all the good times I’ve had and relaxed. After that I wrote the exam and it has worked so well. I was thrilled to see the result.
From when did you nurture the IIT dream?
My father A Ramachander Reddy is an NIT professor and my mother, T Shobha, is a teacher in a government school. So, education runs in my family. From my childhood, I was focused and interested in competitive exams. So writing the JEE was almost an obvious choice.
How did you prepare?
A lot of students from my college have got admission to the IITs. I was also studying for it, but did not take it very seriously in my +1. Then, I saw one of my seniors, Gopi Sivakanth. He secured an All India Rank of 3 last year in the JEE. So, he was like an inspiration for me. I studied seriously in my +2 year.
I stay at the hostel, so I never really studied for 10 hours or 12 hours. My hostel mates and I would spend a lot of time chitchatting but when we studied, we were very dedicated and serious about it. That really worked. I have always been interested in physics, so that wasn’t very difficult. But I was weak in chemistry so I focused on learning that subject very well. I would clear doubts I had from my professors. I think, in the JEE, I did my chemistry well and that gave me an edge.
My parents have also been very supportive. They gave me my space and did not interfere in my studies. They got me the books that I needed and took good care of my health. It was only in the month of February this year that I decided that I wanted a single digit rank. I was confident of ranking in the top 100, but once I set the goal for a single digit rank, I worked quite hard.
Any tips for students aspiring to take the JEE?1. JEE isn’t so hard. Many feel that it is a difficult exam and give up because they feel they won’t get through. They should just go with an open mind and attempt the exam.
2. Be relaxed and write the exam.
3. Chemistry plays a dominant role. Make sure you study that subject well. If you finish the chemistry section in half an hour, you can give extra time to other subjects while writing the exam.
Your career plans?
I am interested in physics. I am looking at joining IIT-Mumbai and majoring in ECE while physics will be the minor subject. The reason I am looking at IIT-Mumbai is because some of my friends and I decided to go there and I am in touch with some professors there. Also, there are a few of my seniors there as well.

2011 (Prudhvi Tej)
What were your preparation strategies for JEE?
Prudhvi Tej: I started preparing for JEE 2011 from when I was in class 11th, right kind of planning from day one and time management was my strategy to crack JEE. I made a time table, prepared according to the plan and spent equal time for all three subjects. I concentrated more on weaker subjects and spent more time in revising Chemistry as I was not confident in this subject.
What are your Future Plans?
Prudhvi Tej: I am interested in pursuing Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay and want to be an IAS Officer and work hard for it.
What are your hobbies?
Prudhvi Tej: Playing cricket and badminton are my favorite pass time.
Did you sacrifice on your hobbies while preparing for JEE 2011?
Prudhvi Tej: I missed out on following IPL Matches and watching many movies which I am covering up now but I used to play for atleast 45 mins in a day to keep myself active and fresh.
What Preparation Strategies would you suggest for JEE candidates?
Prudhvi Tej: I would suggest the upcoming JEE aspirants to have positive attitude and plan for preparations well before and study according to the plan and teachers guidance, which leads to success.
Finally, one word/line to describe your success
Prudhvi Tej: ‘Positive attitude and being planned’.
