Top duo attributes success to 2 years' rigorous preparations

1 2 3 4 Kochi: Ernakulam natives John Shinoj and Hari Kishan Baiju, who came first and second respectively in engineering category in the Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical (KEAM) examinations, attributed their success to rigorous preparations they made over the last two years. Kalloorkad, Muvattupuzha, native Shinoj, who secured 588.58 marks out of 600, has already received admission to IIT Gandhinagar for electrical engineering. "Although I preferred other prominent IITs and campuses within Kerala, I opted for IIT Gandhinagar after some research," said Shinoj. He said the results brought immense joy to his parents and relatives. "I attended coaching at private centre in Pala. I prioritised KEAM entrance on alternate days to achieve the result," said Shinoj. Baiju, who came close second, said the results were expected as he had received top marks in the entrance examinations earlier. Hari, along with his family, relocated to India from the UAE to secure admission in an IIT in the country. "I attended entrance examination coaching during weekends while studying at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Irinjalakkuda," he said. In the IIT advanced examinations, Baiju bagged the 646th rank and received an admission to IIT Bombay for integrated electrical engineering (BTech + MTech) course.
