JEE (Main): City lad Krishiv scores 99.98 percentile

The results of the JEE (Main) were declared on Tuesday and city student Krishiv Gupta scored 99.98 percentile in the examination.

A student of Baba Isher Singh Public School, Krishiv used to study eight-nine hours daily. “I only used WhatsApp for messaging, otherwise there was no social media app in my phone,” he said.

Krishiv’s ambition is to get admission in any of the IITs and do engineering in computer science.

All thanks to his mentor Narinder Singh Yadav, Krishiv said, adding that it would have been really tough if he was not with him in this journey.

“It was my hard work but the guidance I got was from Yadav sir. I am grateful for the path shown by him and helping me pass the exam with flying colours,” said Krishiv.

His teachers and mentors said it was Krishiv’s down to earth behaviour that got him so far.

Not only aptitude but he has the right attitude as well,” said his teacher Narinder Yadav.

Another student, Raghuvar Gupta from GRD Academy scored 99.2 percentile.

“Consistency is the key. One need to be consistent and regular in studies to achieve something big,” he said.

Tanvi Sharma from Sarvotam Academy secured 99.14 percentile. “It was a tough call but I made it thorough. It was my hard work, God’s blessings, parent’s support and my teachers’ guidance which helped me achieve my goal,” she said.

Both Raghuvar and Tanvi want to pursue computer science from an IIT.
