Srivastava was contented with his score and appeared for the engineering entrance exam for the love of the subjects. “More than preparing for JEE, it was about studying my favourite subjects – Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. I feel happy while solving these questions, the more the difficulty-level the happier I am,” he said. While many students claimed different difficulty levels in January and April exams, NTA claims to have maintained a standard level.
“I was happy with my score but since most of my friends were re-appearing for the JEE Main, and that the best of the two would have been counted, so I sat for it again. I found the April exam to be easier than the January attempt,” said Srivastava.
The Delhi boy hails from a family of engineers. His father works with the Air India and is an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Madras. His mother is a homemaker and his sister is studying B.Tech from the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT)- Delhi. Srivastava too wishes to become an engineer. “I want to pursue computer science engineering from IIT-Delhi or IIT-Bombay. I love studying computers because it has an application in real life. It can impact people’s lives. It also involves Mathematics, networking which are my favourite areas of study,” he said.
