While speaking to news agency ANI, Om Prakash said, “I have scored 300 out of 300. I worked hard for 3 years. I am happy with the results. I get continuous support from my parents. Overthinking a bad result is not going to help. Instead, work on your shortcomings. Take it as a lesson, get motivated by it and focus on future exams.”
As per News18 Hindi’s report, Omprakash Behera shared that he diligently followed his teachers’ guidance while preparing for JEE Main and Advanced. He focused primarily on the NCERT syllabus for JEE Main. Acknowledging that weekly test scores tend to fluctuate, he remained determined to give his best.

Self-study played a key role in his routine. “I do self-study for about 8 to 9 hours daily,” Om Prakash was quoted as saying by India Today. For Om Prakash, achieving a perfect 300 in JEE Main is just the beginning of a larger journey.
