Abhishek Anand, the CBSE Class XII Science Topper with 98.8 per cent from DPS, Dhanbad wants to serve the nation with a white collared job. He feels it is highly important for the youngsters to dedicate life for the motherland in order to eradicate corruption from the grassroot level. “I often come across people who cannot take decisions for the development of the country due to which people are forced to live in a corrupt system. Hopefully, if I get the scope of serving nation as an IAS officer, the condition can be improved upto a certain extent,” said Abhishek.
Prior to fulfilling his IAS dream, he is looking ahead of getting a B.Tech degree in Electronics branch from IIT Delhi or IIT Bombay. It was his love for studies which made him focus equally on his academics and IIT coaching since Class 9. “I never took tuitions for studies but it was vice-versa for my IIT preparations. I joined FIITJEE in Class ninth. As far as doubts related to my school subjects were concerned, I used to clarify them from teachers in the school hours to avoid further confusion,” said the state topper.
At home, he was guided by his one year elder sister who is pursuing under graduation in engineering from BIT Sindri. With 281 out of 300 marks, Abhishek qualified for IIT Advanced in IIT Mains examination. Presently, he is waiting for the result of IIT Advanced scheduled in the month of June. “I want to pursue B.Tech in Electronics from IIT Delhi or Bombay. luck favoured me in class tenth wherein I scored 10 CGPA, then in twelfth I am the state topper and my score is more than that of arts and commerce state toppers. Even in IIT Mains my marks were good,” he said.
He said, “In the one month gap left before the board exams, I studied for eight to nine hours daily,” Asked about the reaction of his friends when he was declared state topper, he replied that it was not negative as all of them have scored well. “I got 99 marks in Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. In Physical Education and English my marks were 98 and 95. I am feeling good that my hard work paid off,” mentioned the Dhanbad boy.
