In a brief interview with us, Hardik shared his over joyful feelings and some experiences while preparing for the JEE. He said, “My aim was to get the two-figure rank, I finally did that.” When asked why not one? Hardik answered smiling, “I started preparing for JEE bit late, that was the main reason I was not over expecting.”

Studying for 10-15 hours daily including coaching, home and school, Hardik is ready to bang in IIT Bombay to opt one of his favorite subjects Computer Science.

When asked what’s the secret of his brilliant result Hardik said that “It’s all because of strong and clear basic concepts which is really helpful to solve complex looking queries. Another important point is “FOCUS”, if you are not focused then it is certainly difficult to get the good results. Instead of running everywhere for course materials, I concentrated on only what my coaching institute Catalyst was providing me.”

A die-hard cricket fan, Hardik adores cricket star Virendra Sehwag. “I respect him because of his simplicity.”
