Bathinda boy Aadeshveer Singh makes it big, scores perfect 100 in JEE Mains

Bathinda boy Aadeshveer Singh, 17, is one of the 56 candidates who achieved 100 NTA scores in JEE Mains this time.

Speaking to the Indian Express, Aadeshveer Singh says his world begins and ends with his parents, who have been his “inspiration and constant companions” in his journey.

His mother Rupinder Kaur, a postgraduate in Punjabi and a homemaker, moved with him to Chandigarh when he enrolled for coaching classes at Allen Career Institute.

Aadeshveer Singh’s father Barinderjeet Singh is a data operator in the Punjab government’s education department.

Asked about his success mantra, Aadeshveer Singh says: “I have realised that it doesn’t really matter if you live in big cities like Ludhiana or Amritsar, or a small town such as Bathinda. What matters is a peaceful and encouraging environment at home which my parents always provided to me. After scoring 94 per cent in Class 10, I told my parents that I wanted to pursue non-medical, so my mother researched everything and moved with me to Chandigarh where I took coaching.”

A student of Saint Fateh Singh Convent School, Maur, Aadeshveer Singh says he never demanded a smartphone from his parents. “Till Class 10, I had no phone. Then I moved to Chandigarh for coaching and my parents got me a simple keypad phone knowing that a smartphone would only distract me from my goal. I did not use any social media during my two years of preparation,” he says.

Crediting his mother for his achievement, he says: “It is my mother who planned and researched everything for me. She would keep surfing the internet to find the best coaching options and arrange everything. She has been my constant support.”

Elated over her son’s achievement, Kaur says she never pursued a job as she wanted to focus on her son’s career. “As a mother, I did all I could… My only motive has been to see him successful and happy in life,” adds Kaur.

Aadeshveer Singh previously cleared chemistry and physics Olympiads. He says he loves to watch films, play board games, solve puzzles, and read novels. He is currently reading J K Rowling’s Harry Potter series.

The 17-year-old lad says that when the results came out on Wednesday evening, his mother was the first to see his name on the toppers’ list and woke him up.

“My only motivation in life is my parents. They have done a lot for me and the teachers at the institute were also very helpful. They guided me at every step,” says Aadeshveer Singh, who studied at Delhi Public School, Bathinda till Class X.
