The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the results on Saturday. The results are again good, as this year’s brighter minds of the tricity score well in the exam.

Chandigarh’s Star: Arnav Jindal Clinches AIR 36

Arnav Jindal

At the apex of the heap is Arnav Jindal, a student of DAV Senior Secondary School, Sector 8, Chandigarh. Arnav is also the topper from Chandigarh with an all-India rank of 36, obtaining a stunning NTA score of the 99.999 percentile. Hailing from Kharar, Arnav performed exceptionally well by scoring 99.996 percentile in the Session
1; he is now on the way to becoming a student in Computer Science Engineering at IIT Delhi or Bombay.

Arnav has always devoted himself entirely to JEE Advanced because he only regards JEE Main as the first step of his journey. Interestingly, he only devoted a few days of preparation to Session 2 of the Main exam since he had already built up a strong base. Now it’s all heads down toward JEE Advanced in May.

Yet, under this pressure of 14-hour study a day, he finds time to relax by listening to some of the mesmerizing songs sung by Arijit Singh. Arnav gives credit to both his responsible parents, Deepak Jindal, a businessman from Kurukshetra, and his mother, Ritu Aggarwal, a homemaker, and his sister, Janhavi Mittal, an MBBS graduate from Shimla.

Punjab Topper Piusa Das Sets Record Straight with AIR 80

Another feather added to the cap of the region is Piusa Das, who grabbed AIR 80, thus becoming the Punjab topper according to the NTA list. Originally from Kolkata, Piusa came to Mohali to realize her dream of clearing the JEE at Narayana E-Techno School, Sector 119. The decision turned out to be a profitable one, bringing her into
the high-flyers list in the country.

Piusa draws immense strength and motivation from her father, Pratik Das engineer himself. Her emotional anchor during the tough preparation period was her mother, Sujata Das. Despite studying hard for 13 to 14 hours daily, Piusa still found time to enjoy her passion for football-including cheering for her favorite team, Real Madrid.

Ranveer Singh Virdi: AIR 97 and a Legacy in Tech

to follow the same path at IIT Bombay.

Tricity’s Winning Streak Continues
