Ans.  Upto class 10^th I studied in school but after class 10^th my elder brother suggested me to study for JEE, then your future will be bright. Then, my parents told me about the coaching from where my brother taken the coaching. I joined that coaching classes in Firozabad. Many of my friends demotivated me that it is a very small coaching centre, from here you will not be able to crack JEE. I was from Hindi medium upto 10^th , so it was more difficult for me that time as I shifted  from Hindi medium to English medium. But that demotivation motivates me from inside. I was in constant guidance of my coaching classes teachers. They boost my confidence, they told me to do hardwork so that you can prove that talent of student matters more than the coaching institute.

Ans. I just want to say that the thing that matters the most to crack JEE apart from good teachers is the talent of the student, hardwork and the determination of the student.
