Son of Sukhpal Singh, additional secretary in the public health engineering department (Jal Shakti) and government teacher Sonia Singh, Tejas is now aiming to crack JEE (Advanced) on June 4.

A student of Delhi Public School, Tejas had scored 93% in his matriculation.

“My father had told me about JEE exams. Since I also liked mathematics, I opted for the non-medical stream and started preparing for it. Though I joined the coaching centre in Class 10. The Covid-19 pandemic hampered my preparation in 2020 and 2021,” Tejas said.

“I started serious preparations in 2022. I studied eight to nine hours with breaks in a day but remained consistent. Consistency is very important. It holds the key to one’s success,” he said.

Regular mock tests also helped him to a great extent, Tejas said, thanking God, his teachers and his parents.
