This time Shantanu Sarswat is our college topper. He secured 86% in recent 6th semester. So, I took an interview with him whose main aim was to know – How is it to be a topper and what the ingredients are required to achieve recipe of success.
Q. So, Shantanu. How you are feeling?
A. (He rose his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and he says). Since, it’s my first time I secured such a good marks, so I am feeling good. My high level of patience supported me and my wait finally came to an end. As in previous semesters I always ended up with 75% to 80%, so now I am extremely happy and feeling much more confident.
Q. What was your motivation point?
A. (He answered in simple way). I always scored good marks but I could never reach the height I was always aspiring for. My friends (even I) scolded me for “Why should I work hard, if I am not getting the top marks even after long practice and regular studies”. But this time I was confident enough and tried to overcome all those faults I had committed in my previous semesters. And the result is in front of you all. From 77% in 5thsemester to 86% in next semester is a good achievement.
Q. What is your dream?
A. (With a confident smile he says) Indian Administrative Services. I am in contact with my cousin who is also preparing for the same. So, let’s hope I get in there.
Q. What methods did you opt for such a classic marks?
A. He suggested me regular study is only the solution. Apart from it, your contacts with teacher, seniors, clearing doubts on the same day, regular classes are few but most important ways to achieve success.
Q. Can we achieve this milestone?
A. (He replied only in one sentence). “Success is a state of mind if you want success – start thinking of yourself as a success”
Q. How much will you rate UPTU KHABAR?
A. Well, I guess – 6.5 out of 10.
