She said there is no short cut to success. She also said that she studied for 17 hours in a day. Arika further said, "One needs to understand the concepts and then practice them. Attending classes at coaching institutes will not solve the problem. One needs to be dedicated in this regard."

So, I studied for it and finally scored a good percentile," said Jhawar.

Earlier, Jhawar had passed with flying colours in IIT-JEE and AIEEE. He said following the teacher's advice is the best mantra to score good grades.

His aim is to set up a student counselling centre besides his regular job. Jhawar wants to make some significant contribution to society.
