My father (Tarun Jain) is a businessman and mother (Shraddha Jain) is a teacher. So I will be the first one to become an engineer if everything goes well.
I want to do engineering in Computer Science from IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Bombay. I actually decided to attempt JEE in class X. I really enjoy Physics and Mathematics. I scored well in both in class X as well. I scored 100 marks in Math and 99 in Science in class X. In order to prepare for JEE, I studied for 9 hours every day, on an average. I feel really happy that I am state topper. It is inspiring for my little sister (Anaanya). I would thank my mentor Kamal Kant sir.”
