Mumbai Vinit Atal, the lone student to be selected in 10 years from Pune for the International Physics Olympiad, has also secured the highest score in All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) in Maharashtra. The results were declared on Saturday.
Although he got an all-India rank of 7 by scoring 403 out of 432 marks in AIEEE, Vinit says he would prefer joining IIT Powai to pursue computer science or mechanical engineering.
He was ranked 90 in IIT JEE and will attend his admission counselling on June 12. Vinit is a resident of Kothrud.
He is a student of Garware College.
“My focus was on IIT JEE AIEEE was a stand-by,” Vinit, who will participate in the International Physics Olympiad in Mexico in July, said.
Sagar Chordia, another student who appeared for AIEEE, IIT JEE and BITSAT and got the 16th rank in AIEEE also prefers the IIT.
“Around 120 students from Pune have made it to the state’s top 600, securing their place in National Institutes of Technology (NIT). Pune students usually prefer joining NITs at Nagpur, Bhopal, Trichur and Calicut,” said Durgesh Mangeshkar of IIT Prashikhshan Kendra that also trains students for AIEEE.
