Item description
Kalpit Veerwal became the first ever in the country to score 100%, or full marks of 360, to top the prestigious Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2017 for IITs and other engineering colleges in the country when CBSE declared the results on Thursday.
Speaking to TOI, Kalpit said, “Though everyone suggested that I go to Kota or Hyderabad for coaching, I didn’t want to take studies as a burden and I wanted to enjoy what I learned.
Do you think fugitive Mehul Choksi will finally be extradited to India?
So I decided to stay back in Udaipur and took coaching here along with regular schooling. I knew I could come first but never thought that I could reach the magic figure of 360,” he said.
Kalpit’s father Pushpendra Veerwal is a nurse at the MB Government Hospital while his mother Pushpa is a government school teacher. A student of MDS Senior Secondary School here, Kalpit had not missed even a single class this year. “My parents were particular about my health and made sure that I never suffered even a slight cold or cough. I spent five to six hours studying at home apart from the time spent in school and coaching classes,” Kalpit said.
