Well, thank you so much. It is a happy moment for me and my family. The results were as expected and it was a boost for me to appear for other entrance exams. Now, I am looking forward to crack JEE Advanced 2017 as well. 

JEE Mains 2017 rank: 36. JEE Main 2017 score: 330 marks. According to the released answer keys, I scored 158 marks but after normalization my score was 152. My rank in AP EAMCET 2017 was 3.

I was aiming to crack IIT admissions and the will to achieve my goal was enough to work hard and get a good rank in AP EAMCET 2017.  I got enrolled into an IIT JEE preparation programme since I was a class 9^th student.  My plan of action was to have a thorough grip on the concepts and also to keep no backlogs for doubts.

The time needed depends on the student’s caliber to work hard and their will to achieve the set goal. I feel that two years are enough to prepare for a determined and hardworking student.

I want to study Computer Science Engineering from IIT Bombay. It is my dream institute among all the other IITs.

I expect excellent academics and interesting projects. A good job is what everyone desires after graduating from their dream institute.

I also appeared for VITEEE 2017 and managed to bag an All India Rank 73.

We used our own study material and self-created notes. My strategy was to solve as many mock tests as possible.

I think coaching is required to crack IIT JEE. While preparing for JEE, most of the topics are covered for various other engineering entrance exams like AP EAMCET or maybe VITEEE.

We are a family based in Delhi. My father is an Electrical engineer and my mother is a teacher. I have an elder brother who is pursuing his BTech. 

Till now it was only about cracking IIT-B admissions and pursuing BTech in Computer Science. Maybe, I will be able to plan further during my 4 year BTech programme in college.
