"In Class 9 and 10, I just covered the relevant topics with interest. In 11 and 12, my days used to start at 8 am and I used to come home at 9:30 pm. My coaching centre was far from my home and I did most of my studies there and in school and barely studied at home," Mr Reddy told NDTV.
Speaking on how he focused on his studies, Mr Reddy said, "I completely stopped using social media and spending time watching YouTube videos. I divided my days into slots to study specific subjects and kept away from distractions."
