From 54% in Class 10 to IIT Bombay’s Computer Science

From 54% in Class 10 to IIT Bombay’s Computer Science
He scored just 54% in Class 10. A few years later, he was heading to IIT Bombay — here’s what changed · businesstoday.in

Jainendrajeet once scored 54% in his Class 10 examinations.

He had been on bed rest for about 40 to 50 days before the exams, which affected his preparation.

The result surprised and upset him.

Instead of deciding that he was not capable, he treated the result as one difficult setback.

He created a regular study routine and reduced distractions.

He studied topics before they were taught in class, set daily goals and practiced previous-year questions.

Over time, he studied for nearly 10 hours a day in a more organized way.

He later scored 99.98 percentile in JEE Main 2023.

He also ranked 349 in JEE Advanced and entered IIT Bombay’s Computer Science programme.
