IIT-JEE: 17-yr-old Tops in Female Category
Seventeen-year-old
Ankita Sharma has topped the Indian Institute of Technology joint entrance exam
in the female category.
Over 54,000
female students wrote the entrance exam in April this year. Ankita stood first
and is ranked 55 among more than two lakh people across the country.
Ankita is
the daughter of nuclera expert Anil Sharma.
''I'm
really happy. I heard from my teacher at around 8 this morning and I couldn't
believe it. I'm planning to do either computer science or engineering physics,''
said Ankita.
Her father,
Anil Sharma, is quite naturally proud of her daughter's achievement.
''There was
no pressure from us for her to perform. She worked very hard and her efforts
have obviously paid off. We want her to do Engineering Physics because there's a
lot of scope in that area,'' said Anil Sharma.
The
opportunities may be many but the topper has just one message for the ministry
of human resources.
''We should not have reservations because that just takes away from all the effort we put in. It's very demoralizing,'' Ankita said.
