The results of the top ten ranks in IIT-JEE Advanced, the entrance test for the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, were declared late on Wednesday evening. With 429 marks, Chandigarh’s Himanshu Gupta, a student of Shivalik Public School, Sector 41, emerged as the north India topper, with All India Rank (AIR) 7.

“I was expecting a rank within the top 50-100, but I had no idea I would be in the top 10,” said Himanshu. He had started preparing for IIT JEE in Class IX. “For the first two years, I was not very serious about it. But in my 11th and 12th, I started taking my studies seriously. Initially I used to study for 8-9 hours, but as the entrance exam date came closer, I started dedicating 11-12 hours to my studies.”

Himanshu attributes his success to his parents and believes it takes a lot of hard work and proper planning to crack IIT’s joint Entrance Exam. “The most important thing is to make a fixed schedule, and to stick to it till the end,” he says.

Himanshu’s father, Gopalkrishan Gupta, a civil engineer at BSNL Chandigarh, told Newsline, “He is a very focused and sincere student, I am proud of him. I want him to become an IAS officer someday and work for the people of Chandigarh. And I believe he will live up to this.” For now, Himanshu is hoping to study Computer Science engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.

Principal of Shivalik Public School, Sector 41, Gurkiran Nalwa, said, “Himanshu was in our school since Class VI and was very consistent in his studies. He was an all-rounder and was an NTSE scholarship holder as well. He had cleared Kishore Vigyan Pariksha and then the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad. He always participated in the Science Exhibitions and was an avid learner. We are proud of him.”

The rest of the results will be declared on June 18. The time has not been specified by the board.
