Guwahati: Kanishka Chakraborty, who relocated to Guwahati from Kolkata after his father's transfer two years ago, secured the top position in JEE Advanced from the IIT-Guwahati zone, encompassing the northeast, north Bengal, and parts of Bihar.
He is originally from the Hoogly district of West Bengal.
From the IIT Guwahati zone, 2,743 candidates successfully passed the prestigious entrance examination, based on which students get admission in IITs. The JEE Advanced results was declared on Monday morning.
Securing rank 161 in the Common Rank List (CRL), Kanishka stands as the sole candidate from the IIT-Guwahati zone within the top 400 qualifiers of JEE Advanced in the country.
The zone has three successful candidates in the top 500.
Speaking to TOI, Kanishka expressed satisfaction with his rank, believing it to be sufficient for securing a dual degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at IIT Delhi. "I am satisfied. Getting two degrees in five years is going to be something special for me. Then my target is to venture into the corporate world," Kanishka said. He expressed interest in joining the stock market or trading companies, noting his fascination with these sectors due to their mathematical complexity and knowledge requirements.
Regarding his examination preparation, Kanishka detailed his approach: "Firstly, I focused on NCERT textbooks by thoroughly reading each and every chapter. After giving many mock tests, I used to analyse each and every paper and subject thoroughly. Then I analysed my weaknesses and strengths very carefully, which helped me in developing a strong understanding of which topics I am weak in. I focused on those weaknesses and built my confidence in all three subjects.
"
Succeeding in his very first attempt at JEE Advanced, Kanishka attributed his success to two years of dedicated studies.
Though Kanishka said he could not indulge in recreational activities throughout the day, he never missed doing yoga at home daily. Despite his rigorous study schedule, he maintained a daily 45-minute yoga practice, even during exams. "Every day, for 45 minutes I do yoga, even during exams I did the same."
Kanishka started preparing for JEE Advanced from Class XI, and this year he passed his class XII board examination. "I was confident that I would clear JEE Mains and will definitely attempt JEE Advanced," he added.
His father serves in the railways, and his family originates from Uttarpara in Hoogly completing his matriculation from Kolkata, Kanishka enrolled in a senior secondary school in Guwahati.
