Tejas Scored 99.93 Percentile in JEE Main and Joined IIT Roorkee
Some students are remembered for their marks. A few are remembered for the way they learn. Tejas belonged firmly to the second group, and the questions he refused to stop asking are what carried him to IIT Roorkee.

The Student Who Never Accepted an Answer at Face Value
Tejas arrived with a beautiful analytical mind and an insatiable curiosity. He was the kind of student who would never take an answer at face value, however confidently it was delivered.
If a concept was not completely clear, he kept asking questions until the last doubt was resolved. He did not stop when the explanation was adequate. He stopped when it was airtight.
That habit makes a classroom harder to run and a student far harder to beat.
“In many ways, he made his teachers' lives difficult, but in the best possible way.”
— From Tejas’s NoMoreClass success story
Curiosity as a JEE Preparation Strategy
Most students treat questions as a sign that something has gone wrong. Tejas treated them as the actual method of study.
For competitive examinations this is a significant advantage. JEE Main and JEE Advanced papers are built to find the places where understanding is thin, and a student who interrogates every concept simply has fewer of those places.
His curiosity was not a personality quirk sitting alongside his preparation. It was his preparation.
Teaching Classmates as a Way of Learning
Tejas was always ready to help his classmates. Whether it was explaining a Mathematics problem after class or talking through a difficult Physics concept before a test, he made himself available.
He believed that knowledge grows when it is shared, and he acted on it consistently rather than occasionally.
There is a quiet strategic benefit here too. Explaining a topic out loud exposes exactly the parts you have not fully understood, which is why the students who teach often score the best.
An Extraordinary Love for Mathematics
His love for Mathematics was extraordinary. He became one of the favourite Mathematics students in the batch, and not only because of his performance.
What stood out was the genuine passion behind it. Every problem was a puzzle waiting to be solved and every doubt was an opportunity to learn something new.
He would never move ahead until he completely understood the logic behind a solution. Getting the right answer was never the point on its own.
Humility That Earned the Batch's Respect
His humble nature, combined with his willingness to support others, made Tejas one of the most respected students in the batch.
Strong performers are not always generous with their time, and a student at his level had every excuse to protect it. He chose otherwise.
Respect earned that way tends to be durable, and it made the whole batch better company for a difficult two years.
Mentoring That Encouraged Him to Think Beyond the Solution
Throughout his preparation, Deepak Sir, himself an IITian from IIT Roorkee with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, played a significant role as teacher, mentor, counselor and guide.
He always appreciated Tejas' inquisitive nature rather than treating it as an interruption, and pushed him to think beyond standard solutions.
That encouragement matters more than it sounds. A curious student who is repeatedly told to move on learns to stop asking, and a great deal of potential is lost quietly that way.
The Result: 99.93 Percentile and Admission to IIT Roorkee
His relentless pursuit of conceptual clarity translated into exceptional performance. Tejas secured an outstanding 99.93 percentile in the Main paper.
He followed it with an excellent performance in JEE Advanced and earned admission to the prestigious IIT Roorkee, the same institute his mentor had graduated from years earlier.
A result at that level is not produced by extra hours alone. It is produced by understanding that leaves very little for an examination paper to catch.
What Aspirants Can Learn From the Way Tejas Studied
The lesson from Tejas' preparation is not that he was gifted. It is that he refused to let anything stay unclear, and he had a mentor who made room for that.
Ask the question that feels too basic to ask. Explain a topic to a friend and notice where you stumble. Treat every unresolved doubt as a scoring opportunity you have not collected yet.
Done consistently over two years, those small habits are what a 99.93 percentile is actually made of.
Key Takeaways From Tejas’s Journey
- Never accept an answer at face value. Tejas kept asking until a concept was airtight, not merely adequate.
- Teach what you learn. Explaining problems to classmates exposed and closed his own gaps.
- Passion outperforms pressure. His love for Mathematics drove depth that marks alone never would.
- Understand the logic, not the answer. He refused to move ahead until the reasoning made sense.
- Find a mentor who welcomes questions. Deepak Sir encouraged him to think beyond standard solutions.
- Clarity compounds. Two years of resolved doubts is what produced a 99.93 percentile.
