The Foundation: A Two-Year Journey with SPM & Lalan’s Coaching
Arnab was part of the 2-Year Integrated Coaching Batch (2022–2024) at SPM & Lalan’s Coaching, a program known for its commitment to building strong fundamentals and exam-oriented strategy.
This was not just another coaching journey. This was the ground where he shaped himself- day after day, test after test, mistake after mistake. From Day 1, Arnab showed a rare blend of humility and hunger to learn. His teachers describe him as:
- highly attentive in class
- disciplined with self-study hours
- consistent with test-series performance
- always willing to revisit his mistakes
While speaking about his journey at SPM & Lalan’s Coaching, Arnab shared that the learning environment played an important role in pushing his limits every single week. The competitive peer group, personalised doubt-resolution, structured study plans, and focused mentorship collectively shaped his consistency and confidence.
The Turning Point: Mastering Mathematics Through Strategy
For many JEE aspirants, Mathematics often appears to be an overwhelming challenge. For Arnab Deka, however, it evolved into his most powerful strength. Securing an exceptional 99.81 percentile in the subject, he demonstrated that excellence in Mathematics is driven less by innate talent and more by a disciplined approach, logical reasoning, and sustained practice.
Arnab’s method was straightforward yet remarkably effective:
1. He focused on understanding every concept thoroughly, rather than relying on memorisation.
2. He consistently solved JEE Advanced–level problems to enhance accuracy and confidence for JEE Main.
3. He maintained well-organised formula sheets and revised them routinely.
4. He made it a point to attempt every mock test, including those on days when motivation was low.
This unwavering consistency transformed Mathematics from a perceived obstacle into a significant competitive advantage for him. If you’re a JEE aspirant from Assam or the Northeast, you can also explore our comprehensive guide on exam strategy
