Once an under-14 district-level cricketer, Saksham Jindal had dreams of making it big in cricket. However, the Covid-19 pandemic altered his path as he could not go out to practice because of the lockdown. It was during this time that Jindal developed an interest in mathematics and participated in the Olympiads. “Since then, his confidence in the subject increased, which boosted him to pursue JEE Advanced,” said Umesh Jindal, his father.

Born into a family of doctors with mother Dr Anita Jindal, a physiotherapist, and father Umesh Jindal, a pathologist, and sister who is a NEET aspirant, Saksham went out of his family league to become an engineer.

“With a strong interest in mathematics, Saksham participated in various international and regional Olympiads like IMO and RMO, but after starting JEE preparation, he focused on fulfilling his dream to pursue BTech in computer science at IIT Bombay,” said his father.
Sharing his preparation strategy, his father said, “He tried his best to understand every chapter in depth and practice questions as many times as he could. This strengthened his confidence. For JEE Advanced, he relied on the NCERT syllabus and mock tests.” Unlike other students, he did not completely cut off from social media, but restricted its use.
