I did expect a good result, but not such a high one. My family is on cloud 9. I plan to pursue medicine after this. I’ll be attempting the NEET exam. I haven’t decided on a specialisation yet. Once my NEET results are out, I’ll decide further. Right now, I just want to be a doctor and improve the medical situation of our country.

I am highly delighted with my result. It’s a proud moment for me and my family. I had expected it to be above 95-96 per cent for sure, which is why I was surprised and happy with my results. I would be pursuing engineering, and so I’ll be giving my PCM exam. I’ll also be giving the JEE exam two years later, after my preparations are done. I managed my studies and curricular activities quite well because skills are also very important.

Chitransh Garg (ICSE)
Jamnabai Narsee School
99.8%

I scored beyond my own expectations. I had expected to get 99 per cent, but I scored 99.8 per cent. I am pursuing PCM and preparing for my JEE exams. I am aiming for IIT. At this moment, I have not decided what to specialise in. I can just say that I love being a student and I love studying, so once the JEE results are out, I will go ahead with whatever my instinct tells me.

The marks are as per my expectations. I studied regularly but also played my guitar to relax. I also continued my tennis practice so that I could stay fit physically and mentally. I am interested in pursuing computer engineering and wish to get admitted to an IIT. I am preparing for my JEE exams.

Hriday Bhagat (ISC) 
Jamnabai Narsee 
99.75%

I was confident that I would score above 96 per cent.  I focused on basketball training in Std XI, and I had decided that I would continue it during Std XII as well. But unfortunately, I suffered a knee injury that needed surgery, and so I couldn’t play basketball for a while. I needed some activity to relax. With my doctor’s advice, I joined the gym. Now, I have already cleared JEE Mains with a percentile of 98.7. Currently, I am studying for JEE Advanced.
