He cleared the JEE Main and says “a minimum of 3 hours practice every day with a good knowledge of syllabus from classes 9-12 is necessary to do well in IITJEE”. Asked about his feelings regarding the end of his school days, Anush says, “I feel relaxed and am thinking about the transfer of epithet in my life”.

Anush feels he did well in the 12^th board exam, but could have gotten about 20 more marks. Still the score is not dissatisfactory, he feels. Anush followed a strict study schedule as well as kept himself updated with the everyday’s lessons besides preparing ahead for the next day’s lessons. Anush credits his parents and teachers as the columns and pillars on which he stands and will continue to stand.

He winds down in his free time playing the keyboard, doing gardening and practicing numismatics and philately (collecting coins and stamps). Anush feels education is not just about studies, “Education involves many other components like discipline, moral values and patriotism”. He adds “Marks do not determine one’s life, but rather provides an entry to life’s first step”. Apart from studies, he urges the student population to “maintain a good friends’ circle and good relationship with family and be a good citizen of the country”. Anush signs off with “Grow Trees and Save Our Environment”.
