Now that results are out which IIT and branch are you targetting?
I want to take admission in IIT-Delhi in computer science and engineering. After finishing my studies, I want to start a technology start-up.
How many hours every day did you dedicate to the preparation?
I studied for eight to 10 hours every day, which was quite sufficient for revisions and solving sample papers.
Which subject was the most challenging for you?
The most challenging subject was inorganic chemistry because it required memorising a lot of things. So, I made short notes and revised them daily.
What helped you to focus before the examination and how did you overcome your anxieties?
I took breaks after revisions and played chess, or sometimes watched comedy shows.
Tell us about your family.
My mother Rani Kumari is a homemaker and father Arvind Kumar Ranjan works in LIC.
My younger brother Aditya Raj is in Class V.
Any advice for those who are preparing for engineering?
Keep revising your syllabus and take tests regularly.
