Crane Operator's Son Cracks JEE Advanced Without Coaching, Aims For IIT Guwahati
In a remarkable display of determination and perseverance, Roshan Kumar Bhaskar, a student of Kendriya Vidyalaya located in Sector-4, Bokaro, has cleared the JEE Advanced 2025 exam with flying colours. He secured an All India Rank (AIR) of 650 in the Scheduled Caste (SC) category and ranked 21,789 in the Common Rank List (CRL).
Roshan hails from a modest background. His father, Manoj Kumar, works as a crane operator, while his mother, Baby Devi, is a homemaker. Despite limited financial means, Roshan remained focused on his academic goals, driven by an unyielding will to succeed. He had earlier scored an impressive 92% in his CBSE Class 12 exams and secured 98.06 percentile in JEE Main 2025.
A Comeback Fueled By Disappointment
Speaking to Local18, Roshan revealed that he faced a major setback last year when he couldn't achieve the expected score in JEE Advanced. 'I was deeply disappointed, but I didn't give up. I gathered myself and decided to work twice as hard," he said. His renewed efforts bore fruit this year.
Roshan aspires to become an electronics engineer and has set his sights on IIT Guwahati. 'It's my dream institution. I hope to pursue electronics engineering there and make a meaningful contribution to the field," he shared.
Roshan began preparing for JEE from Class 11 and maintained a rigorous study schedule, clocking nearly 10 hours of daily preparation. He credits his success to the unwavering support of his parents and the guidance of his schoolteachers. 'With the right mentorship and consistent effort, no goal is out of reach," he said.
Roshan's parents are overwhelmed with pride. 'We are extremely proud of his achievement. Despite all odds, he has shown what hard work can accomplish. We hope he continues to excel and brings greater honour to our family and the city," said his father, Manoj Kumar.
Roshan's journey is a testament to resilience, hard work, and the power of dreams — a true inspiration for students across the country.

Mega disaster management drill at 55 spots in Delhi-NCR on Friday
Last Updated: New Delhi, July 31 (PTI) A mega disaster management mock drill in Delhi-NCR will be conducted at more than 55 locations including markets, schools and hospitals on Friday. The district officials in Delhi said all preparations are in place for the exercise that will be participated by hundreds of disaster management personnel, first responders as well as members of non-governmental organisations, market associations and resident welfare associations. The drill will be conducted in all 11 districts of Delhi, along with Ghaziabad and Noida in Uttar Pradesh, and Faridabad, Gurugram, Palwal, Nuh and Rewari in Haryana to strengthen coordination and response mechanisms for major disasters like earthquakes and industrial chemical hazards, the officials said. 'The exercise will be conducted at four to six locations in each district. Members of all the government agencies have been instructed and rehearsals for the disaster management modules have already been conducted," said a senior Delhi government officer. The field-level drill will mark the culmination of a multi-agency 'Exercise Suraksha Chakra' designed to enhance emergency response coordination in the National Capital Region (NCR) covering 18 districts in Delhi, Haryana and UP. The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) said the mock drill will simulate a major earthquake scenario and test real-time preparedness, inter-agency coordination and public response mechanisms. All necessary preparations have been made to conduct the mock drill smoothly in all 11 districts of Delhi. This is a crucial step towards building a resilient city capable of handling major disasters, an advisory from DDMA said. As part of the exercise, residents may witness increased movement of emergency vehicles including ambulances, fire tenders, police vans and Army trucks. Sirens and public address systems may be used to signal the start of the drill. Temporary facilities like incident command posts, staging areas, relief camps and medical aid posts have also been set up. Teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), armed forces, civil defence, Delhi Police and other stakeholders will carry out simulated rescue operations, casualty evacuations and medical assistance to the mock victims, officials said.

Pilot safe after F-35C crashes near central California Naval installation in US
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Lemoore (US), Jul 31 (AP) A pilot was safe after an F-35C fighter jet crashed near a central California naval installation on Wednesday, officials said. Authorities received a report that a military jet had crashed and was engulfed in flames around 6:40 pm, the Fresno County Sheriff's Office said in a social media post. Responding deputies, firefighters, California Highway Patrol officers and EMS personnel found the wreckage in a cotton field just north of Lemoore Naval Air Station. The pilot, who had ejected, was found with a parachute in a nearby field, the sheriff's office said. He was flown to a hospital for evaluation and was expected to be OK. Firefighters used a bulldozer to cut a path to the jet so fire engines could get close enough to extinguish the fire, the sheriff's office said. view comments First Published: July 31, 2025, 18:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
