Jyotiraditya Jamwal, a 17-year-old from Mandi district, has made his hometown proud by cracking the prestigious JEE Advanced examination and earning a seat in the highly coveted Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programme at IIT Jammu — one of India’s premier engineering institutes.

Earlier this year, Jyotiraditya demonstrated his academic brilliance by securing an impressive 99.4 percentile in JEE Mains, a competitive national-level exam taken by over 15 lakh candidates.

The son of Jitendra and Yashu Jamwal, Jyotiraditya’s achievement is a moment of immense pride for his family. “He has always been a curious and sharp-minded student. His hard work and dedication have truly paid off and we are extremely proud of him,” his parents shared with joy.

Known for his discipline, humility and unwavering commitment, Jyotiraditya is now preparing to embark on his academic journey at IIT Jammu. With a strong interest in coding and artificial intelligence, he aspires to contribute meaningfully to India’s fast-growing tech and innovation ecosystem.

His story stands as an inspiration for students from smaller towns, proving that with determination, passion and perseverance, no dream is too distant or too big to achieve.
