Muzaffarnagar's Titora village, Atul Kumar studied for 18 hours a day, taking breaks only for food and sleep, as he prepared for the much-dreaded IIT entrance. Despite the gruelling schedule he sustained for 11 months, the 18-year-old, who almost didn't go to IIT despite cracking the test, advises against letting the pressure get to the head.
«At my coaching institute, they said if you think that the IIT entrance examination is tough, then it is indeed tough. And if you consider it as an easy exam, then it is an easy one,» Kumar told PTI.
Son of a daily wage labourer, Atul Kumar had lost his seat at IIT-Dhanbad after missing the fee deadline. He got a second chance when in an unprecedented move, the Supreme Court asked the institute to admit him to the BTech course.
«We cannot allow such a young talented boy to go away. He cannot be left in the lurch,» a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said.
Atul Kumar, who cleared the examination in the second attempt, told PTI that in the run-up to the test, he took coaching for 11 months at a Kanpur institute meant for weaker sections.
