According to reports, Shitikant Bihari may well be the proud holder of
this title. Shitikant, 17 from Bihar expects a score of about 440 marks
in JEE. "I had expected to be amongst the top 5 and since the scores
are not out yet -- I am hoping to get a score of 440," told Shitikanth .
The
sons of doctor parents, Shitikant says he will opt for IIT-Kanpur to
pursue a degree in computer science. "I have always been interested in
it and feel not only is a good field but will also give me great scope
for research."
Having scored 91.4 per cent in his Class XII
examination this year, Shitikanth says he followed a very flexible
study schedule. After Class X, he moved to Kota in Rajasthan, at a
popular centre of coaching for competitive examinations, where he
attended up to three-and-half hours of coaching and studied up to 6 to
7 hours on his own every day.
He recieved congratulation messages from the Bihar CM Nitish Kumar for his impressive performance.
His tip for aspirants: "Focus.
Give every subject equal importance. Keep a basic but flexible schedule
where you say that I will finish so much in so much time."
Meanwhile,
the Super-30 guys have announced a cent percent result this time. Super
30 is a group of financially weak students coached to crack IIT. While
a high success rate was not very uncommon to Super 30, this time their
success has hit a high point. Hats off to them!
All India topper may not continue at IIT
KOTA: While IIT directors are encouraging the young students to take up
research work rather than going for a lucrative job, Arun Kumar
Baranwal, father of IIT-JEE topper Shitikanth, is yet not convinced
with the efforts being made by the institutes.
Talking to TOI
over phone from Patna, Baranwal said, "Shitikanth might not continue at
Indian Institute at Technology for long because he is determined to go
for research in Physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology". He
also said he wanted to join MIT for full-fledged research work, the
institutes here in India were keener on giving classroom knowledge.
Reminiscing
son's dialogue, he said Shitikanth, around one year back, shared his
dream to go to MIT and do research in Physics. "Though initially we
were surprised but we knew he was different to other children and would
do things differently," he added.
More surprisingly, he is not at
all in administrative services as he says, "No one even recognizes IAS,
once he retires from his post." All set to go to Hanoi in June for
Physics International Olympiad, Shitikanth would receive gold medal
from Chief Justice of India for being topper in National Science
Olympiad on June 1, said proud father.
