18-year-old Rachit Aggarwal from Jalandhar has secured a perfect score (100 NTA score) in JEE Mains examination, the result of which was declared on Wednesday.
On his success, Rachit, who believes it to be a miracle to come in the list of top 100 NTA scorers, said his hard work, his parents and teachers dedication finally yielded best results for him.
Ecstatic over his performance, Rachit said he was never a studious student till class 10th and never wanted to take non-medical classes in his higher secondary school.
“I never had any plans to pursue engineering but my elder brother, who is currently pursuing engineering in computer science from BITS Pilani, inspired me in setting my aim of taking non-medical and attempting for JEE examination,”
Now, he aspires to pursue computer engineering from IIT Bombay. His mother Ritu Aggarwal takes tuition, while father Neeraj Aggarwal has a hardware business.
“I attempted this JEE exam with utter sincerity and did not let his confidence loose even for a second while attempting and preparing for it” he said.
He said he was internet savvy till class 10 but he deleted all his social media accounts while preparing for the competition.
“I maintained distance from social media and avoided using smart phone to concentrate on my studies. I generally study for at least eight hours per day and focus on clearing concepts in all subjects including Physics, Maths and Chemistry,” he said.
He said he kept himself motivated while watching the Harry potter series and Japanese animated series 'Dragon ball Z' and its protagonist Goku.
His mother Ritu said Rachit is leaving no stone unturned to prepare for JEE (Advanced) examination.
“All the credit for his success went to his school and coaching center teachers,” she said.
