Every year, the National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts several competitive examinations such as JEE, CUET, and others so that aspirants can take admission into various undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs across top institutions in India. These exams serve as a gateway for students to pursue their desired courses in fields such as engineering, medical sciences, management, and humanities. There are a handful of aspirants who clear the exam in the first attempt and secure admission to their desired college, such as IIT. However, their passion doesn't stop there. And Satvat Jagwani, the IIT-JEE Advanced topper's success story is a remarkable example.
Satvat Jagwani secured the All India Rank(AIR) 1 in the JEE Advanced 2015. After securing admission at the Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) Bombay, Satyam left it after two years due to….., read his motivational story here.
Satvat Jagwani from Satna secured the All India Rank 1 by scoring an impressive 469 out of 504 marks. Satvat Jagwani, originating from Satna in Madhya Pradesh, attended Nalanda Public Senior Secondary School. Right from childhood, he nurtured a deep fascination for mathematics and physics, consistently performing exceptionally well in both disciplines. In Class 12, he chose physics, chemistry, and mathematics as his core subjects. Beyond his academic pursuits, Satvat had a keen interest in solving Sudoku puzzles, diving into books, and challenging himself with advanced mathematical problems.
'I have been passionate about mathematics since my childhood and I have developed my interest in programming by seeing its application in finding special kinds of numbers like prime numbers, perfect numbers, etc. Apart from math and CS, I am also very interested in the sciences, especially physics. But I have selected my major as Computer Science,' reads his LinkedIn bio.
'In computer science, I am specifically interested in machine learning and software development. For machine learning, I have taken some courses like Data Analysis & Interpretation at IIT Bombay and Introduction to Artificial Intelligence at MIT. For software development, I have taken a course, Software Systems Lab, and I therefore have experience of working in teams for weekly assignments,' the statement further reads.
However, Satvat Jagwani, who secured the top rank in the IIT-JEE Advanced exam, surprised many with his unexpected decision to leave IIT Bombay. Well, in 2015, Satvat Jagwani initially took admission at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, where he completed 145 out of 268 credits toward a BTech in Computer Science and Engineering by 2017.
But destiny had some other plans. After two years, Satvat decided to leave IIT Bombay. Jagwani took admission in Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2017.
In 2020, he took admission at the Master of Engineering (MEng) program in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. Jagwani's decision to leave IIT Bombay was fueled by his aspiration to pursue higher education at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
As per his LinkedIn profile, Jagwani is working as a Software Development Engineer at Cadence Design Systems, where he has been working full-time since November 2021, accumulating over 3 years of experience.

Mission Vidyashakti to boost learning among middle school students
Hubballi: A new education initiative titled 'Mission Vidyashakti' will soon be launched in Dharwad district to enhance academic outcomes for students in classes 6 to 8. Following the success of 'Mission Vidyakashi' for SSLC students, this scheme aims to improve learning quality and push the district into the top 10 in statewide rankings over the next two to three years. The district administration launched the 'Mission Vidyakashi' programme last year. Despite not getting the expected results in the examination, the district secured 18th position, moving up four places from the previous time. It was limited to only 10th class students. However, keeping in mind the students of 6th, 7th, and 8th classes, the 'Mission Vidyashakti' scheme was formulated in collaboration with IIT and IIIT. Under this scheme, students are taught online using smart classes in schools. SM Hudedamani, deputy project coordinator Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan at the DDPI office, said that under this scheme, subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English, which are difficult for students and which most students fail in the exams, will be taught. The difficult points will be taught in an easy, simple, and varied manner so that the students can understand them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He said that the scheme will be formulated so that there will be no disruption in the daily classes. In collaboration with IIT, IIIT Karnataka-Hyderabad, online classes will be conducted by subject experts for 1 hour in the afternoon, three days a week. Students can interact online about the subjects they do not know and get answers from experts,'' said Hudedmani. DDPI Shankmukhaswamy Keladimath said that the first phase of the meeting was held under the chairmanship of the deputy commissioner Divya Prabhu regarding the launch of the 'Mission Vidyashakti'. Another meeting will be held soon to discuss the implementation of the scheme. The scheme was formulated with a view to cover the next two to three years to ensure that students achieve good results in examinations. Divya Prabhu, deputy commissioner, told TOI that a meeting was already held with officials of the school education department to formulate the scheme. Its main objective is for students to score good results in the difficult points for students in Mathematics, Science, and English were already identified, and the syllabus was prepared by subject experts. Students will be taught online in smart classes by skilled education experts from IITs and IIITs. One teacher with computer experience in each school will be given the responsibility of managing it. They will be trained by June 15. The plan is to start the scheme in the last week of June, she informed.

IIT Guwahati Researchers Use Clay-Based Method To 'Sculpt' Affordable Covid Testing Process
Last Updated: The IIT Guwahati team meticulously investigated how bentonite clay interacts specifically with SARS-CoV-2 Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have developed an innovative and cost-effective method for detecting SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19. This novel technique uses a combination of bentonite clay and saltwater, offering a simpler and more affordable alternative to conventional diagnostic tools such as PCR and antigen tests. Their findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Applied Clay Science, have the potential to revolutionise virus detection, particularly in resource-constrained settings and for future pandemic preparedness. This groundbreaking method hinges on the principle of sedimentation. Bentonite clay is renowned for its exceptional absorbent properties and its capacity to bind with various substances, including heavy metals and pollutants. Building on previous research suggesting that clay particles could interact with viruses, the IIT Guwahati team meticulously investigated how bentonite clay interacts specifically with SARS-CoV-2. Their research revealed that when the virus is present in a neutral pH saltwater solution at room temperature, it binds effectively with the clay particles. This binding accelerates sedimentation, with virus-laden clay particles settling more rapidly. By observing and measuring this accelerated sedimentation, researchers can accurately determine both the presence and concentration of the virus in a sample. The implications of this discovery are substantial, say some experts. While PCR tests are highly accurate, they are costly, require specialised equipment and trained personnel, and often depend on significant infrastructure, limiting their accessibility in remote or under-resourced areas. Antigen tests, while faster, can be less sensitive than PCR. In contrast, the IIT Guwahati method requires minimal equipment, is inherently affordable, and offers a potentially rapid diagnostic solution suitable for widespread deployment.
