'Missing father, mentally challenged mother': How Abhijit Roy overcame hardship to ace JEE & get into IIT Kharagpur
Abhijit Roy, from a struggling family in Malda, defied extreme financial difficulties to rank 191 in the JEE and gain entry to IIT Kharagpur. His success story is an inspiring example of resilience and dedication.
For competitive examinations such as the JEE, students often seek out the best coaching centers, top-notch study materials, expert teachers, and an optimal study environment. Yet, even with all these resources, success isn't guaranteed. The most inspiring stories, however, come from those who overcome significant obstacles without these advantages and still manage to excel.
One such remarkable story is that of Abhijit Roy from Bengal. Despite facing extreme financial hardships, Abhijit achieved an impressive rank of 191 in the JEE and secured admission to IIT Kharagpur.
IIT Kharagpur
Former Member of Parliament Dilip Ghosh recently shared a truly inspiring story on social media platform X about a young man from Malda, West Bengal, named Abhijit Roy.
Abhijit Roy hails from a small, struggling family. His father is missing, leaving his mentally challenged mother and elderly grandfather as the only family he has.
His grandfather drives an electric rickshaw to support the family and they live in a tiny, cramped house that barely offers enough space for their daily lives.
Despite these daunting circumstances, Abhijit's spirit and resolve remained unshaken.

In the face of adversity, Abhijit's dedication to his studies became his beacon of hope. With no access to fancy coaching centers or expensive study materials, he relied on sheer determination and resourcefulness.
Every day, he studied diligently under challenging conditions, often with minimal resources.
His hard work culminated in a significant achievement: he scored an impressive rank of 191 in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), securing a place at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT-KGP).
The news of Abhijit's success quickly captured the hearts of many.
