Atharva Tambat is now focused on clearing JEE-Advanced

A student of Ryan FIITJEE Integrated Junior college in Sanpada, Atharva appeared for two out of the total four attempts of JEE, in February and in March wherein he scored 99.97 percentile and 100 percentile, respectively. “In the final rank list, his best score has been considered  declared already. After securing the perfect score, Atharva did not appear for the remaining two attempts,” said Abhijit Tambat, Atharva’s father. Atharva is now focused on clearing JEE-Advanced. Abhijit is an engineer and Atharva was always interested in the engineering field since he was in Std VIII. A very good painter, he stopped the extra-curricular activity to focus on JEE. “He is looking forward to joining IIT-Bombay in the Computer Science stream,” said Abhijit. A resident of Vashi, Atharva went to St Mary’s ICSE School in Koparkhairane, where he ranked first in Std X. The online studies pattern actually worked for Atharva, as he indulges more in self-study. It also allowed him more time to study.

Gargi, a student of PACE Junior College in Dadar, is a native of Nashik but had shifted to Mumbai after securing admission to the college. She stayed with her maternal grandmother for a year. Post the COVID-19 outbreak, as colleges decided to go online, she shifted base to her hometown. Gargi who also appeared for two attempts, was unhappy with her first attempt score which was 99.95 percentile. And with a 100 percentile score in the second attempt, she proved it. Daughter of a dentist couple, Gargi, just like her elder brother, Sahil, was always interested in the mathematics and technology field. With the previous JEE-Mains score, Gargi has secured admission to IIIT Hyderabad where Sahil is pursuing a dual degree. “That was her plan B if the IIT dream doesn’t pan out. Now all eyes are on JEE -Advanced which will determine her admission to IIT,” Dr Makrand Bakshi, her father had told mid-day in March when Gargi scored 100 percentile.
