A class 12 student Dhruv said mobile and social media were curses and the biggest distraction for students.

Arora said, “I disconnected myself from mobile phones and all the social media platforms while preparing for the exam. I used to play sports during my leisure time. It not only saved my time but also helped me keeping my body and mind healthy.”

He said concentration, time management and discipline in the study hours are very necessary to achieve success.

“I used to follow fix time table. For revision and practice, I used to spent 6-7 hours daily in two phases. More than marks and education in good college, knowledge matters to me a lot. I want to make my career in the field of research,” said Arora.

Dhruv was India topper of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and IAPT’s prestigious Physics Olympiad Exam in 2018. Physics Olympiad Exam is considered to be one of the toughest and important exams at national-level as it is at par with IIT-JEE.

Dhruv’s father is a production manager in a private firm while his mother , who was a homemaker, passed away two years ago.

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
