Madhya Pradesh: Welder's son scores 99.93 percent in first JEE attempt

Indore: This is one inspirational story from a small town, Dewas in MP. Deepak Prajapati, son of a welder has proven that passion and dedication are the only things that count in achieving excellence.

When Deepak was in second grade, he was very weak in studies or rather he did not pay much attention towards academics. As a result, he was expelled from the school. However, after this incident, Deepak started concentrating harder and resolved to do well.

IIT aspirant, Deepak, who wishes to pursue Computer Science Engineering (CSE) has secured a 99.938 percentile score in the JEE Mains (round one) and in the process has made his family proud.

In a conversation with ANI, Deepak spoke about his family's financial situation and how he managed to prepare well for the exam.

Financial Struggles

"I completed my preliminary education till the eighth standard in a small public school. It was quite difficult to study after the ninth standard because of the lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic as everything had gone online and we had to purchase a smartphone, which was not quite easy." Post 11th standard, Deepak started preparing for JEE exam by studying at a private coaching institute, which did not charge him any fee due to his family's financial condition.

Family Proud

Meanwhile, his father Ramiqbal left no stone unturned to help his son achieve his dream.

To the aspirants who are not able to perform satisfactorily despite all efforts, Deepak said that you only need passion to get what you want.
