A 17-year-old Dhruv said NCERT books and national Olympiad helped him secure a good rank in JEE Mains.

Dhruv is also going to represent India in Physics Olympiad which is going to take place in Adelade, Australia from May 5. He is among the top 8 contestants from Asia.

Dhruv wants to make a career in the field of research. “Physics is always my favourite subject. I want to be a scientist. After coming back to India, I will start preparation for JEE Advanced because it is necessary to perform well in Advanced too,” he added.

“It is an emotional moment for Dhruv as his mother, whom he lost two years ago, wanted to see him in top 10. We were expecting good rank of him as he studied all the topics thoroughly and cleared all his concept before going ahead” said Sumit Upamanyu, a teacher of Dhruv.

Madhya Pradesh’s two students made it to top 10. MP’s Abhay Pratap Singh Rathore secured 10th rank.

According to information provided by coaching institutes, as many as 50,000 students were selected for JEE advanced.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shruti Tomar
I have spent over a decade chronicling Madhya Pradesh’s political and social landscape, covering politics, investigative journalism, crime, human interest, and government policy, blending sharp insight with ground‑level depth. I have closely tracked three assembly elections, three Lok Sabha elections, leadership transitions in MP while exposing governance lapses, tender irregularities, and flawed policy rollouts. My reports have revealed gaps in the Cheetah project, irregularities in medical education, rigging in recruitment exams, and loopholes in policy implementation. In crime reporting, I have moved beyond FIRs to map systemic patterns — from organised crime networks and gender‑based violence to custodial accountability — balancing urgency with sensitivity. My journalism is defined by a commitment to human interest. I have profiled the marginalised Bancchda community, documented atrocities against tribal groups, and highlighted efforts to preserve their culture through heritage liquor and revival of spiritual practices. I have reported on farmers struggling with failed MSP promises, giving voice to those often reduced to statistics in policy files. Passionate about field reporting, I have reported on rampant sand mining in Chambal and Narmada, pharmaceutical companies supplying medicines under altered names, the dire condition of schools and colleges, the plight of commercial sex workers, and skewed sex ratios in specific districts. Beyond deadlines, and as HT’s state correspondent and assistant editor in Madhya Pradesh, I engage with ministers, farmers, students, and activists, believing the best policy stories begin with a single human voice. A postgraduate in Journalism and Mass Communication, I also hold a diploma in sports journalism.Read More
