NEW DELHI: The Delhi topper of Joint Entrance Examination (Main) 2015 is hoping for a seat in
IIT Delhi. Having secured the all-India rank of 91 in the JEE (Advanced)-- the entrance to IITs, Mukund Mundhara had also bagged an all-India sixth rank in the JEE mains, thereby becoming top ranker in Delhi zone. The results were declared on Wednesday by
Central Board of Secondary Education.
Getting into an IIT is not an easy task.
It takes hours of hard work and one needs to be very dedicated and focused in order to do well in the exams. Missing out on the first choice of IIT Bombay, which closes admissions at rank 70, the Delhi JEE (main) topper is now aiming at securing a seat at IIT Delhi in computer science stream. An alumnus of DPS Rohini, Mundhara's Class XII aggregate is 98.2%.
"I want to do MTech after my BTech degree and thereafter build a career in research and development. My father never forced me to join his profession and my parents were always very supportive and told me to follow my interest," said Mundhara.
Mukund did not fill up the DU admission form because he is confident of making it into an institution of his choice. He said: "I always wanted to be an engineer since Class IX and I was focused on that. Studying for 12 hours a day is not an easy task, but if I had to be an engineer, I had to do that. It takes just two years of hard work for a good start in life. However, students must not compromise with sleep. It's important to have eight hours of sleep before writing an exam." He adds, "It just takes two years of hard work to get a better start in life. Also, students should never compromise with their sleep. It is extremely important to have around eight hours of sleep a day, to be fresh to take an exam."
