Hargobind Singh and Ahaan Nath are locked in second place after both shot eight-over 80. A further stroke behind at 81 is Jay Vora followed by Aryan Agarwal at ten-over 82.
The highlight of the day was sixth placed Rachit Mankoti's perfect ace on the 161-yard second hole. Rachit's hole-in-one was celebrated by his playing partners, leader Sreenjoy and tenth-place Yuveraj Dhara.
He took the turn at three-over for the day with a birdie on the par 4 16th. In an otherwise steady round, Sreenjoy dropped three strokes on the par 4 3rdhole before a striking back with a birdie on the next hole. A further two bogeys followed on the 6th and the 8th holes before he closed his first round with a par.
The second day will see 24 Category C Boys tee off to compete for the title over three rounds.
