Chennai: At a time when students want to join a top company and earn a lucrative salary, Vivek Jajoo, a student from Sishya school in the city who secured All India third rank in the Class XII exam (ISC) conducted by Council for the Indian School Certificate Exams (CISCE), wants to start an IT company.
Vivek secured centum (100 marks) in Mathematics and computer science, 99 in Physics, 98 in English and 94 in Chemistry to score 491 out of 500 marks. The council considers English and three subjects in which student scored top marks for ranking, so Vivek has been given 397 (99.25 per cent) as official score. The council announced the results for class X and XII exam on Monday.
Speaking to DC after checking his results, an elated Vivek said that even though he had qualified to take up IIT-JEE (advanced) it was not his priority and that he would rather take a seat in Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS).
“If I don’t join BITS, I will join computer engineering in Georgia Institute of Technology or Purdue University in USA as I’ve scored 800 each in Physics, Chemistry and Maths in the US-SAT exam,” Vivek, who dedicated his success to his teachers, principal Omana Thomas and parents, said.
Pointing out that he had developed interest in computers from his childhood days, Vivek said that he had opted for computer study as an optional subject in class 9. He said Maths was the only lengthy paper which consumed lot of time. “Maths had a couple of questions which were bit difficult. I finished all other papers in under two and a half hours, but in Maths I kept writing for 15 minutes more,” the topper who is the head boy of the school and secretary general of Sishya’s model United Nations said.
Vivek’s mother Abha Jajoo says that she would allow her son to take on challenges in life by becoming an entrepreneur. “He is much focussed in life since his childhood so we will allow him to take challenges, sometimes you do succeed,” she said.
