Against All Odds
From a small village in Himachal Pradesh to the gates of an IIT—Ayush’s journey is a powerful story of determination and opportunity. His father, a painter with an unsteady income, paused building their family home so Ayush and his sister could stay in school. When a teacher introduced him to Avanti Fellows’ free online test prep, everything changed.

In June 2025, Ayush earned a category rank of 1574 in JEE Advanced, likely securing a seat at one of India’s top IITs, and becoming the first in his family to do so. Ayush’s achievement is more than personal—it is a milestone for his village and a spark for others chasing big dreams.
