Over 1,600 students from Ranchi have qualified the IITJEE (Main) 2014 examination and are eligible to appear for IITJEE (Advanced) exam scheduled on May 25. Over 200 students have qualified for the same from Bokaro district.
Jawahar Vidya Mandir, Shyamali (JVM) student Gaurav Jain is said to have secured maximum score in the State capital in the list of these aspirants who appeared for IITJEE 2014 (Main) on April 6. Gaurav who was preparing for this entrance exam for past three years, has scored 276 out of 360 marks.
The meritorious student who appeared for his class twelfth board examination this year did not find it hard to prepare for IITJEE and the board examinations side by side. “Since class XI, I was focused on my studies. It is not at all difficult to prepare if your fundamental knowledge on physics, chemistry and mathematics subjects are strong,” he said during a felicitation ceremony at a coaching institute on Friday.
Asked about his aspirations, he said that he wants to become a computer engineer since the subject always fascinated him. “I am almost confident to pass the IITJEE (Advanced) exam scheduled on May 25,” he added.
Similar to Gaurav, Sunayan Dalal, another topper in the list of top 10 of the city who secured 272 marks expressed his desire to join the branch of computer science.
“Preparing for IITJEE is not tough if you have faith in yourself. Studying religiously for almost 10 to 11 hours everyday right from two years before this examination is very important. One should have a strong hold over Physics and Mathematics subjects,” said Sunayan.
Apart from JVM, large numbers of Delhi Public School Ranchi (DPS) students have also shined in this entrance exam. Principal of the school Ram Singh said that more than 100 students have cleared for IITJEE (Advanced). Kumar Harsh has secured the maximum score here with 245 marks.

With 305 marks, Gaurav Kumar stood at first rank in the district and with 300 marks, Suman Swaroop stood at second position, officials informed.
