Following her father’s footsteps: Arvind Kejriwal’s daughter cracks IIT
‘I studied for 12 hours a day and started preparing two years ago’
New Delhi: AAP leader and former chief minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal’s daughter Harshita has done her family proud.
She has cracked the IIT-JEE entrance examination by scoring an impressive rank of 3,322.
Kejriwal is a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and worked for the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) as a Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax Department.
Talking to media, she said, “I did put in a lot of work. She further added, “I studied for 12 hours a day and started preparing two years ago. I focused more on coaching than on my school classes.”
She says her father is her biggest inspiration. Kejriwal was lodged in the Tihar jail when Harshita wrote the IIT-JEE exam.
Here is how Twitter reacted to her achievements:
