City topper & state girl’s topper Shrestha Gupta with AIR 162
“I secured 99.99 (100 percentile in Maths) percentile and AIR 162. I chose to study for JEE and become an engineer because of my love for Maths. Maths has been my favourite subject. I started early and began preparation for the examination in 2020 in 4-year program. This helped me balance out my time. I had enough time to work on my weak sections like mechanics in Physics. I often felt stressed and would de-stress by taking a walk with my sister. My parents (Maths teacher Kavita & software developer Alok) supported me and helped me deal with everything. My teachers analysed my mistakes and I could get better in my studies.”
Shrestha Gupta
City’s second topper Rishit Mittal with AIR 266
“I am passionate about Mathematics. I wanted to choose something that involves maths more. So, despite the fact both my parents are doctors, I chose Math. I want to become a computer science engineer. If given a choice, I would like to study in IIT Bombay. It's my dream and I am willing to work towards it. My mantra is to chose something you enjoy and like, then work towards your goal. I chose engineering as I like Maths.”
Rishit Mittal
City’s third topper Riddhi Motwani with AIR 326 & 99.9859%
"I was not expecting to be the topper. I knew I would secure a good rank. What worked for me was consistent efforts. I studied almost 10 to 12 hours. I am interested in engineering. I was wondering what to do in class 10 and after research, I decided to study engineering. My dad (Anil) is an engineer by qualification but is a businessman. My mother (Heena) is a homemaker. My role model is Elon Musk. I like how he pursued his passion. I admire his thoughts and way of thinking. I want to do computer science engineering. I enjoy computers."

Siddharth Aggrawal with AIR 496 & 99.9776%
"I am okay with the rank. I want to study computer science engineering. It's just a wimp. My parents are from Jabalpur. I came to Indore to prepare for the exam. I have been here alone for a year. However, my parents visited me every two months. My dad (Kailash Chand) is a govt officer. My mother (Kamini) is a homemaker. I was very good at Chess till class 10. I had to leave it, as it might not be my career. I competed in a national chess competition in class 8. But I never intended to make it my career. I have an elder sister (IIT Delhi student Himanshi) and a younger brother (Piyush). I have learnt that acing JEE depends on understanding."
