But after analysing my answer script, I realised I had a chance of scoring 100,” Vivan told TOI. The 17-year-old said his teachers helped him overcome gaps in preparation. Educationalists said the fact that only one student from Telangana scored 100 did not indicate a decline in performance.
My mentors supported me with extra effort, which helped me achieve this score,” he said, adding that his next goal is to repeat the performance in JEE Advanced. “The state has actually improved, with more students scoring above 280 and 290,” said P Sindhura Narayana, director, Narayana Educational Institutions.
