B oth my parents are farmers and are uneducated. My father used to tell me they were struggling in life and had seen hardships, and if I studied well, I would have a better life. Those words inspired me to work hard with an aim to scale bigger heights. That made me score good marks in all the exams.

M y brother got a state rank, and I took it as an inspiration. There was so much timely help from the college. The curricul u m designed by the college made me understand well, which turned out to be a success tool. As soon as I completed my tenth, my focus was to enter into sciences, as I wanted to become a medical doctor. Pandemic disturbed the studies, but the college continued online classes, which did not affect our learning time.”.

I was dreaming of this when I was in tenth class. My sister who is a MBBS doctor helped at each and every step. As I was bright a t school, the teachers always extende d their help. My father is a head constable, and is very caring and supports us so much. When I got 10 out of 10 in tenth class, the principal of my school gave me a reward, which motivated me to work hard over the last two years.

Desai Sai Pranav, Nellore ;

Rank 8 : Engineering stream

M y preparation was very good I think, because it began right from class 6. M y teachers were taking care and mentoring us. My parents are doctors and they are keen on a good education. However, they wanted me to pursue mathematics which I did. I studied for 12 hours a day, and there were regular practice tests which helped me a lot.

Midathana Pranay, Vizianagram :

Rank 7 : Engineering stream

I t’s all because of the teachers and my parents. But it took a lot of study, anywhere from 10 hour to 12 hours a day. Because of the online classes on account of the pandemic, I first thought it would be difficult, but was later able to follow the subjects. I was a class topper in the school, I won many national level science Olympiads. Both my parents are teachers and they have been guiding me from my childhood.
