JAIPUR: Karan Vaidya, a resident of Bapu Nagar has brought laurels to the city by securing 12th position in the All India Ranking for IIT-JEE (Advanced).
"The result was unexpected. I had an idea that I would make it to the top 100 as I scored well in the IIT-Mains. Now, I am quite confident of getting my desired branch of study and location," he said.
A product of BVB Vidhyashram, Vaidya is eyeing a seat in the computer science branch at IIT-Bombay. He has been preparing for the IIT exams since Class 9.
"My interest in engineering developed when I started participating in inter-school science competitions and olympiads. Considering my performance in these competitions, my teachers encouraged me to prepare for IITs," he said.
Vaidya is a NTSE scholar and won the Kishore Vighyanik Purushkar, besides qualifying at the national level for maths and physics olympiads.
"I joined a coaching institute in Class 9. With every passing year, my interest in the subject grew and my performance also improved," said Vaidya, who scored a 10 CGPA in CBSE Class 10 and 95.8% in CBSE Class 12 exams.
The change in the IIT exam pattern did give him a few jitters but he soon overcame them to prepare diligently for the exam.
He chose multimedia as the fifth subject in his Class 12 as it would help him in his engineering studies later.
"The languages and basic codes used in the subject forms a part of the curriculum in the computer science branch in IIT-Bombay," he said and aspires to work with the best brains in the world.
His father is a pharmacist and a mother a homemaker.
Vaidya is a cricket buff and the recent IPL spot fixing scandal has hurt him. His love for the game though remains intact. "My dream is to watch a cricket match with the Indian team in the dressing room," said Vaidya.
