Let’s find out what our dreamers turned achievers have to say about their success!
“A career in research had just been a fleeting thought until I walked into IIT Roorkee two years ago for my internship. I was inspired by the Research Fellows who worked day in and out on things that they were passionate about. This was the moment I found my calling. I’ve always been an avid learner who believed that there is an ocean of knowledge out there, and we are only drinking one drop out of it. After a while, I came across Unacademy and I’m so grateful to this platform especially for Educators like Jagriti Sharma ma’am who helped me get closer to my dream. The best thing about Unacademy is that you can choose your Educators, get access to hundreds of Mock Tests, and learn on the go. I have been recommending Unacademy to everyone I know because if it wasn’t for the right mentorship, good practices and the motivation I got from the Educators, I probably would have not secured AIR 7 in my second attempt.” — Raj Shekhar, AIR 7 JRF, Chemical Sciences, CSIR-UGC NET 2020
“Despite failing in 2 attempts, I had my hopes high for my third and final attempt. I faced many challenges in my preparation earlier, but this attempt was different because of Unacademy. Unacademy Educators gave me the confidence to achieve goals that I never thought I could and helped me throughout the lockdown days. They constantly encouraged me to not give in to the limitations of the situation, and I could always count on them. My advice to other aspirants is that no matter what the obstacles are, the right support along with your determination is all it takes to ace an exam.” — Nandni, AIR 8 JRF, Life Sciences CSIR-UGC NET 2020
“I think I was always lucky throughout my learning journey to have mentors who understood my potential and encouraged me to tap into the field of research. Their encouragement pushed me to prep for JRF while I was still pursuing my Masters. I recall rushing back home to Kanpur during the lockdown and leaving all my books in my college room. With ample time on my hand, and no notes, I turned to Unacademy for guidance, and it was the best decision I made. With Unacademy I could learn Live with excellent mentors such as Top Educator Jyoti Kumari. My strategy to ace it was creating and sticking to a schedule, finding the right mentors through Unacademy and keeping my vision clear. Qualifying for JRF is a dream come true, yet this is just the beginning of a long journey.“ — Arveen Kaur, AIR 15 JRF, Life Sciences, CSIR-UGC NET 2020
“My previous two failed attempts taught me to be patient and consistent. During my third attempt, I subscribed to Unacademy and practiced daily with Quizzes, and Mock Tests. All of this helped boost my confidence in my preparation. I am very grateful to Neha Taneja ma’am and Jyoti Kumari ma’am for their unfailing efforts and their faith in me. The only strategy I followed was revising my concepts regularly. My advice to Learners is to clear your basics before building concepts and give it your best shot without stressing about the outcome.” — Shreyasi Nath, AIR 30 JRF, Life Sciences, CSIR-UGC NET 2020
“After my first attempt, I realised that I needed better guidance, and that is why I opted for Unacademy. During the lockdown, Unacademy helped me with all my learning needs. The high-quality content and Live Classes by Top Educators truly helped me get ahead in my preparation. I practiced regularly with Mock Tests, which improved my time management skills and increased my confidence. Without the immense support of Surbhi Upadhyay ma’am and Satendra Soni sir — our ‘Quantum King’, I wouldn’t have reached this far. I am thankful to Surbhi ma’am for explaining concepts with her simplistic approach and Satendra Soni sir’s ability to make you fall in love with any difficult subject. My greatest learning from this journey is that you must be consistent throughout and study like there is no one who wants to crack this exam more than you.” — Riya Gaba, AIR 55 JRF, Physical Sciences, CSIR-UGC NET 2020
At Unacademy, we believe a successful story isn’t all about winning — it’s the shortcomings and learning lessons that make the journey enriching. Adding to this experience is the magic of our brilliant Educators who work as hard as our Learners to help them achieve every goal.
“Congratulations to all Learners who qualified CSIR-UGC NET. We have been working together to achieve this dream and today we can proudly say that we cracked it. And to those who didn’t make it, you are not lost in this path, maybe you just have a longer journey to cover than others. So keep trying and don’t lose hope.” — Unacademy Educator Jyoti Kumari
“I am really proud of all my Learners who cracked the CSIR-UGC NET examination. To all those who couldn’t make it this time around, remember that revision and practice are significant for CSIR-UGC NET exams, especially for Mathematics. A mix of practice, focus, consistency and preparation strategies can help you crack it.” — Unacademy Educator Gajendra Purohit
This is just the beginning for all the Learners who have cracked it. We wish them all the best for their journey ahead. The blend of strong guidance, devotion to learning and the unbeatable determination of Learners and our Educators makes such wonders happen at Unacademy.
