Interview with Raghav Jindal - IPMAT Indore 2025 Topper (AIR 3)

Q. When did you start feeling confident-and did you ever imagine you'd score a single-digit rank?

Raghav: "I started feeling very confident after January, after my pre‑boards. I scored around 240 in a IPMAT mock, which boosted my faith. Initially, I expected a rank around 15-20, but I never thought of a single digit."

Q. How did it feel when you discovered you'd secured AIR 3? Especially given the strong group and emotional journey.

Raghav: "When Anil Sir called with the result and I saw AIR 3, I was really shocked and hugely proud. I didn't expect it, but it was a very proud moment-especially for my grandmother, who's been a strong pillar in this journey."

Q. What challenges did you face during this journey-especially with high expectations and emotional pressure?

Raghav: "Expectations were very high-from myself and my family. Sometimes I even broke down emotionally. But the Supergrads mentorship was very cooperative and supportive, and my grandmother managed everything at home."

Q. Did Supergrads truly transform you? How were you different before and after joining?

Raghav: "I was weak in VA when I started, but SuperGrads changed everything. I attended live classes twice, then recordings, then worksheets-for concept clarity and practice. In QA, Anil Sir took me to another level. Plus, my peer group taught me tricks and speed."

Q. Many wonder what habits toppers follow. What strategies did you follow that others should replicate?

Raghav: "I prepared online but chatted daily with aspirants. My prep was structured-I monthly planned QA and VA topics, revised before every mock. One topic QA, one VA daily kept consistency. I solved 30-40 mocks weekly during IPMAT prep, analyzing every wrong question the next day for 1-2 hours."

Q. You had weaknesses-VA initially, shy in interviews. How did you overcome them?

Raghav: "VA basics were built through Sana Ma'am's classes and regular reading and vocabulary work. For interviews, Saurabh Sir helped with mock ex tempore answers in front of peers, which improved confidence and communication."

Q. How did you juggle board exams and IPMAT prep with such precision?

Raghav: "My board score was 96.8%. I never mixed tasks-April to July focused on board prep, August-September on boards, October-November on IPMAT, then back to boards. One task at a time."

Q. What advice do you have for parents regarding involvement? Should they be strict or supportive?

Raghav's Mother: "Don't be strictly drilled, but have a strong backbone-trust and support your child. Discuss their problems, connect with mentors, and stay emotionally present. This builds confidence."

Q. As AIR 3, what advice would you give to future IPMAT aspirants?

Raghav: "Don't be scared. I was terrified of preparing online in a difficult home environment. But there's no point in fear-just do your best, and things will fall into place."

Q. Finally, whom do you wish to thank from Supergrads?

Raghav: "Thanks to Anil Sir-my QA mentor; Sana Ma'am-for VA and vocabulary; Tapish Sir-for arithmetic & LR tricks; Vrinda Ma'am-for BA; Saurabh Sir-for interview prep; Rahul Sir-for his support; and my grandmother for emotional strength. Supergrads transformed me."
