An elated Sai Teja said he prepared 9 to 13 hours daily. “To unwind myself, I used to play table tennis regularly. This helped me beat the stress. I plan to pursue CSE at IIT-Bombay. I am thinking of setting my own company in the future,” Sai Teja said.
For Vidith, 10 to 15 exams conducted at Narayana Junior College aided him securing 100 percentile.
“During the preparation, I was not fully confident about the test. However, the exams conducted by my college helped me a lot. I intend to join the CSE programme at IIT-Bombay. Unlike others who move abroad for higher studies and job, I want to stay back in country and help the downtrodden,” Vidith said.
