He credits his teachers and family for helping him stay motivated during challenging phases.
For students preparing for upcoming JEE examinations, Arnav has a simple yet powerful message:
“Stay consistent even if you are getting low scores in mock tests. Maintain discipline and have faith in yourself — this is the key to success.”
