19 May 2012 7:47 AM GMT
The results of the Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE), which was held on 8 April, was declared on Friday.
Faridabad resident Arpit Aggarwal from Modern Vidya School, Sector 17 has topped the prestigious IIT-JEE. While Bijoy Singh Kochar from Chandigarh stood second, and Nishant Kaushik from Bilaspur in Madhya Pradesh bagged the third place in the highly competitive exam.
Attributing the success to his family and teachers, Aggarwal said 'The guidance of my parents and our educational institution paved the way for my success and I thank them.'
When contacted, Aggarwal told Millennium Post that he started his preparations right after board exams. The rigorous training meant cutting out on social outings, but apparently, he still Facebooked.
'One very important factor for achieving success is focus. Maximum time and effort went into preparing for my IIT-JEE. Now, I think I would specialise in computer science,' said Aggarwal.
'He brilliantly managed his time and brought happiness in our life,' said Aggarwal's sister Rashi Aggarwal, a Class XI student who wants to get into medical science.
According to Archana Aggarwal and their mother, Aggarwal slept only three to four hours a day during his preparation.
His father, O P Aggarwal, said, 'My son joined coaching two years ago. It has been a great push for him though Arpit has been an intelligent student and possessed tremendous understanding.'
