Security guard's son cracks IIT entrance!
Ex-CRPF jawan's son
achieved the feat
without attending any
coaching classes.
Jalindar Darde, a
security guard with
Bharat Forge, is a proud
father as his son Akash
cleared the Indian
Institute of Technology
Joint Entrance
Examination (IIT-JEE)
without attending any
coaching class.
A former Central
Reserve Police Force
(CRPF) jawan who
served a term with the
special protection guard
(SPG), Jalindar has been
the protection officer of
Congress president
Sonia Gandhi, prime
minister Manmohan
Singh and other VVIPs.
In December 2012, he
took voluntary
retirement (VRS) and
shifted to Maharashtra.
“I want my son to be
an IPS officer,” said
Jalindar, adding that
cracking the IIT
entrance examination is
the first step towards
it. Akash, who scored
163 out of 360 in the
exam and whose
favourite subjects are
physics and
mathematics, said, “I
studied at home as my
father could not afford
the tuition fees needed
for coaching in the
Capital.”
The young lad had
received a letter of
appreciation from Union
law minister Kapil Sibal
for scoring 9.8 grade
under Continuous and
Comprehensive
Evaluation (CCE) in CBSE
standard X exam. He
was also given a cash
prize of Rs5,000 from
the PM.
“I want to complete my
engineering degree from
IIT and study for the
civil exam,” said Akash,
who used to study for
six to eight hours daily.
“I used to increase the
study hours on Sundays
as I had no school on
that day,” said Akash,
adding, “I relied upon
books for curriculum
besides a few other
books available in the
market to prepare for
this entrance.”
Jalindar, who expects
good grades from
Akash in the standard
XII examination, said,
“My son and daughter
Ashwini are good in
studies. Hence, I took
VRS and shifted to Pune
so that they can pursue
their further education.”
Crediting his wife Vidya
for the success of their
son, Jalindar said, “As
the job used to keep
me away from home, it
was Vidya who took
efforts for their
education and
upbringing.”
