Ojas’s mother shared that Ojas wasn’t always an IIT aspirant. “He wanted to study astronomy as he was fascinated by it, but at some point, he decided to switch. We have always been supportive because he always made the right choices,” she said.

“I know people think I may be a nerd because I love studies, especially mathematics and physics and spend a lot of time in them. But those who know me closely know that I love socializing and going out to dinner with friends, and I love football,” said the teenager.

Ojas has always been driven to achieve great things. From a young age, he has pushed himself to do better with role models such as Sundar Pichai and APJ Abdul Kalam. His heart set on IIT, he didn’t get into a regular junior college after topping his Class 10th instead joined Narayana Junior College, where he would train for the competitive exams, studying for over 10 hours a day. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, Ojas achieved his dream of getting into IIT.
