For many aspirants, gaining admission to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) is the ultimate goal. Students dedicate themselves tirelessly, putting in countless hours of hard work to secure a spot at IIT. However, what if we tell an inspiring story of a candidate who cleared JEE Advanced with an All India Rank(AIR) of 99 and left the counselling process?
Well, Mohammad Sahil Akhtar, cleared the IIT-JEE entrance test and secured an All India Rank (AIR) of 99 for the JEE Advanced 2023. However, he decided not to join an IIT and dropped out of IIT counselling.

Hailing from Kolkata, Mohammad Sahil Akhtar finished his schooling at the Delhi Public School (DPS) Ruby Park. In April 2023, he appeared for the engineering entrance exam. The budding engineer even started his YouTube channel to guide candidates.
“I am Sahil, a student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. I like physics, space-related stuff and anything mathematical. I also really like playing the keyboard. This channel is a space for me to give some opinions and advices to help people down the line with my experience in STEM examinations, college applications and JEE related things. Feel free to reach out to me on my LinkedIn or my Instagram! I am much less active on Instagram though,” reads the bio of his youtube channel.
