JEE Main 2017 Paper 2 results for architecture and planning were declared recently and Robin Babu Padamadan from Hyderabad bagged an All India Rank 1 in the exam. According to Robin, the mantra behind his success is his consistent hard work and long hours of study. He studied for almost 9 hours a day, devoting three hours to each subject at a stretch.
Even though he topped JEE Main 2017 Paper 2 exam, he is not keen on taking up architecture for his Bachelors. He appeared for the architecture and planning paper just for practice. His ultimate aim is to pursue CSE (Computer Science Engineering) from one of the top five IITs.
