He scored just 54% in Class 10. Today, he's studying Computer Science at IIT Bombay
He scored just 54% in Class 10 and only 41 in maths. Years later, Jainendrajeet turned that setback into a remarkable comeback, earning JEE Advanced AIR 349 and a seat at IIT Bombay's Computer Science programme.
For many students, a disappointing Class 10 result feels like the end of the road. For Jainendrajeet, it became the beginning of a completely different story.
The IIT Bombay student, currently pursuing BTech in Computer Science, scored 54% in Class 10. His marks included 41 out of 100 in Mathematics and 48 out of 100 in Science. Instead of encouragement, he faced criticism and was even trolled over his result.
At that moment, few would have imagined that just a few years later, he would crack one of India's toughest engineering entrance examinations with an All India Rank 349.
FROM A TOUGH REPORT CARD TO A TOP RANK
Jainendrajeet studied at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV), Vrindavan. Rather than allowing one examination to decide his future, he shifted his focus to preparing for JEE.
The journey demanded consistency, patience and a willingness to improve every day.
His efforts paid off in 2023 when he scored an impressive 99.98 percentile in JEE Main. Soon after, he secured AIR 349 in JEE Advanced in the Open category, along with OBC Rank 54, earning admission to one of the country's most competitive engineering programmes.
It was a remarkable turnaround for a student whose Class 10 marks had once become the subject of discussion for all the wrong reasons.
A NEW JOURNEY AT IIT BOMBAY
Later that year, Jainendrajeet joined IIT Bombay to pursue BTech in Computer Science.
Life at IIT was not just about lectures and examinations. He continued to build practical skills alongside academics.
In December 2025, he worked as a Software Engineering Intern at Loop Health in Bengaluru, gaining hands-on industry experience. He also completed a summer internship at Kimbal, adding another milestone to his growing profile.
These internships gave him an opportunity to apply what he was learning in the classroom to real-world engineering problems.
LOOKING BEYOND A SINGLE MARKSHEET
Jainendrajeet's journey is a reminder that school marks do not always predict where someone will end up.
Class 10 is often seen as a major milestone, but it is only one stage of a much longer journey. His story shows how determination, steady preparation and refusing to be defined by one setback can change the course of a student's future.
Today, the same student who once scored 54% in Class 10 is studying Computer Science at IIT Bombay after securing 99.98 percentile in JEE Main and AIR 349 in JEE Advanced.
For students disappointed by a single result, his journey offers an important perspective: one report card may reflect a moment in time, but it does not decide everything that comes after.
