JEE Main 2020 Topper from Haryana to Pursue CSE - Says Love for Mathematics Behind Decision

Hisar lad Divyanshu Aggarwal achieved a gigantic feat on Sunday when he became one of the 9 out of the 9 lakhs to secure a 100 percentile score in the JEE Mains 2020 (January) exam. After achieving this indubious feat in his maiden attempt, he wants to join an IIT and pursue Computer Science Engineering even though he belongs from a family of doctors. He says that his undeterred love for Mathematics is the main reason behind his decision to pursue Computer Science Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology .

Although his family persuaded him to go with medicine study, they have been very supportive when they saw his inclination towards mathematics remarked Divyanshu. The 18-year old is all set to become the first Engineer in a family dominated by doctors.

A self-motivated person, Divyanshu was preparing for the JEE Advanced and JEE Mains for the past two years. He credits his advanced thinking of studying for the understanding of the subject for his success at the JEE Mains 2020 (January) exam. He studied for a minimum of 5 to 6 hours on a daily basis throughout his preparation period. He also said that the very idea of studying for the sake of an exam seemed absurd to him. He believes that to succeed in an all-important exam like JEE Mains or JEE advanced, the aspirants must study more than what is in the syllabus just.

Quality time away from studies have also been very helpful to him. He used to invest his leisure time in chess and badminton. “I just love the subjects too much,” said Divyanshu. According to him, self-study is the key and accompanied by the best study resources, mainly NCERT textbooks, have helped him achieve his dream. In addition to these, he also joined a coaching class to serve the purpose of solving mock tests.

Divyanshu also had a strategy in place for the exam day. He first attempted the Mathematics section followed by Physics and Chemistry. The reason he gave behind following this approach is his bad habit of committing silly mistakes in Mathematics. In the first phase, he only attempted those questions which were sure shots. Divyanshu also found the current exam pattern of JEE Main exam very intriguing.
