Debaditya Pramanik on Sunday became West Bengal topper and the zonal topper in the Joint Entrance Examination Advanced (JEE Advanced) 2017.
"It has been a dream to make it to the IIT since childhood," said an elated Debaditya, a student of Birla High School.
Capping off a great year where he secured the first position in the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination while also becoming the topper from West Bengal in the Central Board of Secondary Education's Class 12 exam, Debaditya notched up 315 out of 366 marks, bagging the All India Rank of 38 in the JEE Advanced 2017.
Panchkula's Sarvesh Mehtani secured the All India Rank of 1 in the JEE (Advanced), held for admission to all the 23 IITs and the Indian School of Mines (ISM).
