'Tabla Helped Me Relieve Stress,' Says Mumbai Topper Parth Vartak, AIR 4 In JEE Advanced
Last Updated: Mumbai's Parth Vartak secured AIR 4 in JEE Advanced 2025 with 327/360. A tabla player and math enthusiast, he credits a balanced routine and passion for learning for his success. The JEE Advanced 2025 results were declared on Monday, and two students from Maharashtra secured spots in the top 10 All India Ranks. Parth Vartak from Vile Parle, Mumbai, achieved an impressive AIR 4, while Sahil Deo from Nashik secured AIR 7. Both students are now aiming to join the highly sought-after Computer Science Engineering (CSE) programme at IIT Bombay. The Mumbai topper Parth clinched All India Rank 4 with an outstanding score of 327 out of 360. Math Lover Who Found Joy In Puzzles Parth's love for math began early, often solving puzzles with his father, an engineer. 'Solving math puzzles with my father was more than a hobby; it helped me relax, even during the most intense phases of JEE preparation," he said. He hoped for a good score, but a top-five national rank was still a surprise. 'I knew I had done well, but this rank exceeded all expectations," he shared. His perfect 120/120 in math shows just how strong his grip on the subject is. 'Math has always been close to my heart. I plan to study Computer Science at IIT-Bombay, but I might return to math later through research," he added. While many JEE aspirants put their hobbies on hold, Parth Vartak continued to make time for the things he loved. A trained tabla player, he found music to be a great way to manage stress. 'Playing the tabla helped me relieve stress. It was my way of staying balanced," he said. He also enjoyed reading fiction and playing table tennis, which gave him short but refreshing breaks during his intense preparation. Parth's success wasn't limited to JEE. He also scored 98% in his Class 12 board exams, showing his steady academic performance. With a father who is an engineer and a mother who practices Ayurveda, Parth grew up in an environment that encouraged curiosity and learning. Now preparing to join IIT Bombay, Parth's journey shows that staying consistent, enjoying what you do, and keeping a balance between studies and hobbies can lead to great results.

Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia: I learned music secretly
A true maestro of the bansuri, his breath weaves magic through bamboo, enchanting audiences across the globe. From concert halls to sacred temples, his melodies flow like a river of devotion and artistry — that is Indian music director and master flautist Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia for you. A recipient of many honours, including the Padma Vibhushan, Pt Hariprasad continues to inspire generations with his timeless music and boundless spirit. At the 10th Annual International Convention of SPIC MACAY at IIT-H, children affectionately gathered around him on stage, drawn by an unseen magnetism. With serene grace, he breathed life into raags like Madhuvanthi, Bheempalasi, and Pahadi. Awestruck, everyone joined their palms in reverence. Pt Hariprasad answered with a warm smile. But in conversation with CE, he confesses, 'I was so nervous about performing in front of so many people! But I thoroughly enjoyed myself and also made it a point to involve attendees as I performed. There was this little girl who sang so well as I played the flute — I was overcome with emotion.'

‘I want to go to IISc Bangalore… feel like IIT would not be the right fit for me': AIR 5 Ujjwal Kesari
Every few hours, in the middle of his study marathons, 17-year-old Ujjwal Kesari from South Delhi allowed himself a reward — one short episode of Doraemon. 'I love watching animated films. I love watching Doraemon,' he said. 'But since I couldn't get distracted, I used to skip watching it so that I could study and focus on my goal. But when I took short breaks in between, I used to watch it.' That clarity and self-control helped Kesari secure the fifth position in the JEE Advanced 2025 Common Rank List released Monday, placing him among the top 10 in one of India's most competitive entrance exams. His score — 324 marks out of 360 — opens doors to the most coveted courses in the country: Computer Science at both IIT-Bombay and IIT-Delhi, he said. But Kesari has chosen to walk a different path. 'I want to go to IISc Bangalore,' he said. 'I made this decision because I want to go forward and pursue research, and I feel like IIT would not be the right fit for me. It is known for the best packages, but that is not what I am looking for.' Kesari's decision didn't come on a whim. He had made up his mind years ago. 'Since Class 8, I had decided that I would take the science stream in Class 11,' he said. 'My love for physics and maths made me passionate about giving the JEE examination.' What excites him most now is quantum physics, a field he hopes to pursue seriously in the coming years. 'I aim to pursue research in the quantum physics area as I think it is very fascinating and has a promising future,' he said. Kesari's preparation strategy was marked by balance and consistency. 'I always used to give equal time to all my main subjects. Even my weaknesses and strengths,' he said. 'I would not focus on taking too many breaks. I would keep the flow and consistency when I sat down to study.' The youngest of two siblings, Kesari lives with his family. 'My sister is pursuing the arts stream, and I have moved towards sciences,' he said. His father works in a private job, and his mother is a homemaker. For future aspirants, Kesari offered one practical piece of advice, a habit he strictly followed through his years of preparation: 'Stay away from the phone. Screen time is the biggest distraction these days, and it is very important to minimise it.'
