Last Updated: Ujjwal Kesari's success journey began in Class 8, when his love for Physics and Maths led him to choose Science in Class 11, setting the foundation for his JEE achievement The results of JEE Advanced 2025 have been announced, and an extraordinary feat has come to light. Seventeen-year-old Ujjwal Kesari from South Delhi has secured an impressive All India Rank (AIR) 5 with a score of 324 out of 360. With such stellar marks, Ujjwal could have easily secured admission to coveted programs like Computer Science at IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi. However, he surprised everyone by declaring that he would not be joining any IIT. Despite his exceptional performance, Ujjwal's decision to opt out of IIT has left many astonished. Why Choose IISc Bangalore? Instead, Ujjwal has expressed his desire to join the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore. He revealed in an interview that his passion lies in research, particularly in the field of quantum physics, and he believes that IISc Bangalore is the right place for him to pursue this interest. He stated that while IITs offer excellent job opportunities with lucrative packages, his goal is not to seek employment but to advance in research. JEE Main Exam Preparation Ujjwal's journey to success began in the 8th standard when he decided to take science in the 11th standard, driven by his love for Physics and Mathematics. His consistent planning and dedication have paid off, placing him among the top candidates in the country's toughest entrance exam. The key to Ujjwal's preparation was his consistency. He ensured equal time was devoted to all subjects, regardless of whether they were his strengths or weaknesses. He minimised breaks and maintained a steady flow in his studies, a strategy that proved successful. Support From Family Family support played a crucial role in Ujjwal's journey. As the youngest in his family, with his elder sister in the arts stream, he received unwavering encouragement from his father, who works in a private job, and his mother, a homemaker. This support was instrumental in helping him achieve his dreams. Stay Away From Phone Ujjwal has a valuable tip for fellow JEE aspirants: stay away from phones. He emphasised that screen time is a significant distraction and reducing it is essential for success. By strictly following this rule, Ujjwal found the secret to his achievement. Inspiration For Students Ujjwal's story serves as an inspiration to all JEE students. He not only secured a top rank but also followed his heart in choosing the path he believed was right. For those preparing for JEE, Ujjwal's journey offers lessons in focus, consistency, and the importance of following one's dreams, whether it leads to IIT or IISc.

'Be Consistent': How Mumbai's Sahil Deo Went From Rank 102 In JEE Mains To AIR 7 In Advanced?
Last Updated: JEE Advanced AIR 7 Sahil Deo also hails from a family of engineers. While his father is an engineer at Mahindra, his brother graduated from IIT Delhi and works at Goldman Sachs. 'Being consistent is the key", says 18-year-old Sahil Mukesh Deo who grabbed the seventh spot in the JEE Advanced 2025, the results of which were released on Monday. However, it was no mean feat for Sahil who was quite demotivated after his JEE Mains 2025 exams held in February and April. He had scored an All India Rank of 102. But it was his love for science and motivation by his teachers that kept him going. After securing more than 99 per cent in his 10th boards from Wisdom High International School, Nashik, Sahil, shifted to Mumbai in class 11 to prepare for the JEE Advanced. It was his love for computer applications that made him take up engineering. 'I have always been interested in science especially the application part such as computer science and mathematics. Coding is something that grabbed my attention. Hence CSE at IIT Bombay is a natural choice," the youngster said. He joined Narayana in class 11 for his JEE preparations. While Sahil scored 285 marks in JEE Main session 1, he got 270 marks in session 2. However, he proved that once you set your goals, nothing can stop you and made a comeback in the IIT entrance exam by securing 321 marks out 360 or AIR 7 in JEE Advanced. 'Mains did not go very well for me. The final rank was 102 and I had lost a lot of confidence after that. My teachers really motivated me. They had explained how JEE Mains and Advanced are different exams. Hence, I had to keep myself motivated," Sahil told News18. Talking about his preparation process, he said, 'While I kept no track of how long I studied, I would continue with my preparations at anytime I could. After returning home from classes in the evening, I would relax for sometime, watch some YouTube videos, and then get back to study. Again, take break during dinner time and go back study. It's more about consistency. It's the key. Study whenever you get the chance to and create those opportunities more often. Don't let it slip and think so now I can relax." He had also appeared for Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy Olympiads in 12th standard. 'I was also selected for the Indian National Olympiads in the second level however couldn't crack the third level as I did not really prepare for it," he said. Besides, Sahil also hails from a family of engineers. While his father is an engineer at Mahindra, his brother graduated from IIT Delhi and works at Goldman Sachs. His mother is a housewife.
