On Friday night, as the results were declared, Agarwal brothers, were busy preparing for the viva voice examination for Physical Science paper on Saturday. They are currently preparing for the upcoming entrance tests and CBSE class 12 board examination.
Nishant said,
Initially, I was shocked. But I have been preparing for this. My goal was to score full marks. I have been highly motivated by my peer group at my coaching institute. They’ve been an inspiration at being the best on whatever we do..
Pranav, who was just .07 percentile behind his brother expressed that in order to improve the ranking, he along with his brother will reappear in JEE’s April sessions. He quoted:
My brother is among the highest scorers has motivated me. I am happy for him but will appear for the test again and try to improve my rank.
Moreover, the twins shared that they ‘study together’ and ‘motivate each other’ and had begun studying for JEE just a few months earlier. Pranav also said,
After the results, we just congratulated each other and went back to our studies.
A typical day in his life involves getting up at 6am and studying throughout the day with short breaks of 30 minutes devoted to food and badminton. Generally they study six to seven hours a day, and during the examination phase, it goes to upto 10 hours including taking test series.
Their father Arun Aggarwal revealed that his sons were initially worried about his examination. Arun said,
When the answer key came out, they were worried about the scores since some of the answers weren’t matching. We told them that re-checking was also an option.
The results today have been greatly satisfying. But I’ve told them to be grounded since this is just the beginning.
