He scored just 54% in Class 10. Today, he's studying Computer Science at IIT Bombay

Many students believe a poor Class 10 result can decide the rest of their lives. Jainendrajeet's journey proves otherwise.The IIT Bombay student, currently pursuing BTech in Computer Science, scored only 54% in Class 10. His marks included 41 out of 100 in Mathematics and 48 out of 100 in Science. The results became a reason for criticism, and he recalls being trolled for his performance.But instead of allowing those marks to define him, he decided to focus on what came next.Today, he is studying at one of India's most prestigious engineering institutes after securing an impressive rank in one of the country's toughest entrance examinations. FROM SELF-DOUBT TO A NATIONAL RANKJainendrajeet studied at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV), Vrindavan, where he slowly rebuilt his confidence after Class 10.Rather than worrying about what people said, he concentrated on improving his concepts and preparing for engineering entrance exams. His hard work paid off in 2023.In JEE Main 2023, he secured an outstanding 99.98 percentile. He then went a step further in JEE Advanced 2023, earning All India Rank 349 in the Open category along with OBC Rank 54.The same student who had once struggled in school examinations had now earned a place among the country's top engineering aspirants.A NEW CHAPTER AT IIT BOMBAYIn 2023, Jainendrajeet joined IIT Bombay to pursue BTech in Computer Science, one of the institute's most sought-after programmes.His journey did not stop after entering IIT.While studying, he continued building his skills through industry experience. In December 2025, he worked as a Software Engineering Intern at Loop Health in Bengaluru. He also secured a summer internship at Kimbal, adding practical exposure to his academic journey.These opportunities reflect how far he has come since the days when people judged him solely by his Class 10 marks.ONE MARKSHEET NEVER TELLS THE WHOLE STORYJainendrajeet's journey carries a message that many students need to hear.School examinations are important, but they are not the final measure of a person's potential. Progress often comes from learning, improving and refusing to let one setback become a permanent label.From scoring just 54% in Class 10 to achieving 99.98 percentile in JEE Main, securing AIR 349 in JEE Advanced, and studying Computer Science at IIT Bombay, his story is proof that determination can rewrite expectations.For students feeling disappointed with their marks, Jainendrajeet's journey offers a simple reminder: your current result reflects where you are today, not where you can reach tomorrow.- EndsPublished By: Princy ShuklaPublished On: Jul 25, 2026 10:15 IST
