“It feels great to do so well. Since I was preparing for medical exams, I had my basic concepts clear. I spent four to five hours studying every day. AIPMT is one of the exams I have written, but I am waiting for the results before I decide on a college.”

Archana Sasi, NPS Indiranagar, 97.8 per cent

I have written IIT and AIEEE. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a seat in BITS.”

“With my tuitions and college work, the best I could put in was three to fours hours a day. I managed to study extra hours during weekends and holidays. I want to study medicine. I have written the St John’s College entrance, Comed-K, AIPMT and Manipal entrance exams.”

Sharada M, Kumaran’s School, 97.4 per cent

“I had chosen Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Economics. I always wanted to do something to make a differecne in the lives of the underprivileged, and I believe, economics will help me achieve the goal. 

I want to pursue the subject in the London School of Economics and later go for research. Many find it strange that I am not interested in engineering. This has not deterred me from my area of interest.”

Aniket Bhakshi, DPS South, 97.2 per cent

I want to study computer science engineering. Since I have secured 2,579 rank in the IIT-JEE exam, I hope to get a seat in one of the IITs.”

Everyone in my family is from the commerce background. So, I decided to do something different.”
