WBJEE topper Soham Mistri aims to pursue research from MIT
WBJEE topper Soham Mistri.Soham, 17, claims that the paper pattern of West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) is different from that of JEE Advanced, reports Aparna Sharma
Soham Mistri from Durgapur, West Bengal, toiled for two years managing both his XII boards with JEE preparations. And finally, his hard work paid off as he bagged 1st position in WBJEE by securing 182 out of 200.
Soham, a PCM student did his schooling from Hem Sheela Model School, Durgapur and scored 98% in his class XII exams. He also gave exam for JEE advanced, in which he got AIR 48, by scoring 283 out of 372. And secured his name in the first admission list of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay.
He has also appeared for Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) and Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata where he got 19th and 10th position respectively. But his love for engineering was so strong that it took over the thought of other courses.
“Paper pattern for JEE Advanced is way different from WBJEE. Questions for JEE Advanced is conceptual and in-depth while WBJEE is theoretical. I focused on NCERT the most as it covers almost 85% of the syllabus. I also referred higher-level books and solving previous year’s questions papers and modules helped me a lot,” said Soham Mistri while talking to Education Times.
He expected to be at least in top 10 but finding his name as the first topper was quite overwhelming. He credits his teachers and family for the endless support. His father works at Electrical and technical laboratory (ETL) while his mother works at the Research and control outlet (RCL), Durgapur.
Beside attending hectic coaching at Durgapur, Soham used to read novels, watch cinema and play the guitar to release stress. He is also a passionate swimmer.
“I want to pursue computer science from IIT Bombay. After which I aim to study research from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. As I think it can help the society at a larger pace,” adds Soham.
