“If you are going to have to go out of the house for it, then why not at the best place where you can get good guidance from experienced tutors?” said Dr Patil adding that Archit’s mother’ Dr Archana Patil who is an anaesthesiologist accompanied him to Kota where he is preparing for JEE Advanced at Allen Career Institute.

The 17-year-old boy now aims to clear JEE Advanced which is scheduled for May 26. He wants to make his career in computer science engineering and is exploring options beyond IITs. “We are looking for some foreign institutes,” said his father Dr Rahul Patil, a gynecologist from Jalgaon.

Archit’s success mantra has been to stick to schedule and not keep a backlog. “After lectures, he would not only complete the homework daily but would also take out time for self-study every day. Following the schedule prepared by tutors kept him on track, after all, JEE-preparation is not a smooth journey,” told Dr Patil.

Archit has participated in International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) where he received an international exposure, said his father adding, “But focus for now is on preparing for JEE-Advanced.”
