Dheeraj, on the contrary, was of the opinion that online schools reduced the travel time to his school and he could utilise the time to concentrate more on his test papers. 

Aiming to get a seat at the IIT Bombay, Rupesh too was of the opinion that the two years of Covid did not affect him at all. “Hard work, perseverance and motivation which I got from my school teachers helped me get a rank in the JEE Mains,” said Rupesh, whose elder brother is also studying at IIT Jodhpur.
