Hailing from Belkhed, a remote village in Washim, Nilkrishna followed a rigorous schedule, dedicating more than 10 hours to prepare for the exams every day.<\/p>\n
The results of the JEE Mains conducted by the National Testing Agency were announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Talking to PTI over the phone, Nilkrishna’s father, Nirmal Gajare, said he had no words to express his happiness over his son’s success.<\/p>\n
Nilkrishna did his primary schooling at Rajeshwar Convent in Akola and J C High School in Karanja Lad in Washim and had lived with his aunt at the time, he said.<\/p>\n
“Nilkrishna has always been a brilliant student and was good at sports. He participated in the district and national level tournaments in archery,” Nirmal Gajare said.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old is pursuing his studies at Shree Dnyaneshwar Maskuji Burungale Science and Arts College, Shegaon.<\/p>\n
Nilkrishna wakes up by 4 am, studies for two hours, does “pranayam” (breathing exercises), and again starts studying from 8.30 am and sleeps by 10 pm, Gajare said.<\/p>\n
“I wanted him to do well in studies and life and motivated him. I want him to achieve things I never could,” Gajare said, who is over the moon about his son’s success.<\/p>\n
Nilkrishna wishes to study at IIT Bombay and would work towards becoming a scientist, he said.<\/p>\n
Having conquered one hurdle to achieve his dream, Nilkrishna is in Shegaon preparing for JEE-Advanced, which will be conducted next month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
