Mavuri Shiva Krishna Manohar
He had thought of dropping out of school due to financial constraints. But Mavuri Shiva Krishna Manohar ended up securing all-India 5th rank in the JEE (Advanced) results. Shiva Krishna was also declared the topper in the Madras IIT zone and he also scored first rank in the OBC-Non Creamy Layer (OBC-NCL) category.
Shiva Krishna, a native of a village in Visakhapatnam, hails from a lower middle-class family. His father, Nageswara Rao, works as a tailor. "I never thought I would be able to achieve this. I hail from a tribal area and studied at a government school till class V and later got into Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya. I completed schooling from there and got free admission at FIITJEE, Vijayawada, and secured top rank in Madras IIT Zone," Shiva Krishna said.
"Hard work, encouragement and guidance of experts helped me achieve this rank. Support of my parents was invaluable," said Shiva Krishna, who wants to study computer science at IIT-Bombay.
