JEE Advanced topper Ved Lahoti never saw the clock while studying, stayed away from social media

Ved Lahoti, a student from Kota, made history today, June 9, as he secured All India Rank in the JEE Advanced examination. Scoring an impressive 355 out of 360, his outstanding achievement filled his parents with immense pride. In an interview with ANI, the elated topper candidly shared insights into his rigorous study schedule and expressed his belief that social media is a potential distraction and best avoided to optimise study time.

Lahoti said to ANI, "I never saw the clock while studying. I focused more on qualitative study. I kept myself away from social media because it is a waste of time. I just want to say that the aspirants should stay in touch with their families and take help of their teachers."
