The boy with almost 90% of visual impairment calmly answers when asked about what is difficult or different regarding his study process. Rakshit has bagged the third rank in the differently-abled category of CBSE results and has also shared the first position in his school, Amity, Sector 44 Noida with Unnati Agarwal.
A Humanities student, Rakshit says that the impairment caused more problems with growing old but it never affected his zeal for studies, thanks to his parents and his brother.
"I never took any coaching classes. If it were my teachers who would read out my lessons for me during extra hours in school, I had my mother at home who would sit with me and ensure that I don't have a problem", Rakshit told TOI.

Till he was in fifth standard, he used to write his exams himself but it was when he reached sixth that his vision started getting blurred.
"It was then, that my parents arranged a scribe for me. My brother also has a similar problem and he had also availed the services of a scribe," he said.
Over-whelmed with her son's achievement, a teary-eyed Rachna Malik explained that according to doctors, it is a genetic disorder that was found in both her children at a very tender age.

"My elder son, who has graduated from SRCC, is also visually impaired. But, we never let it become a hindrance. I would sit with him with his notes prepared in enlarged font and read them out to him. Rest is all his toil, Rachna, a resident of Karkardooma in Delhi told TOI.
Blessed with impressive oratory and writing skills, Rachit who has scored a 100 in History says he would either become a civil servant or a lecturer. "I would like to join the IFS if possible but I am doubtful about the criteria. Otherwise, I would like to join the academic field as a lecturer."
