He added, “The entire credit goes to my parents, teachers and my institution, who guided me in the right direction.“ However, his father wants to see him as an IAS officer.
History was also created by a girl, from the state who cracked the top-10 barrier for the first time in the his tory of IITs. S. Leena Madhuri secured the allIndia 8th rank and was among the only two girls to figure in the elite bracket.
