This year’s Maharashtra topper Preey Shah hails from Mumbai. With a score of 285, Shah has bagged AIR 16. He is aiming to secure a seat in the computer science at IIT, Bombay. The result didn’t come as a surprise to him. “I was expecting this. I have been preparing for JEE from Class 11 at PACE Junior Science College.”

Coincidently, he is also JEE Mains 2016 Maharashtra topper.

He had participated in Olympiads in school, which he said gave him a stronger base in science. Most students around the country are worried about the allocation process, Shah seemed unfazed. He is sure of getting a seat at IIT B. While the seat allocation process will be on here, he will be off to Zurich to participate in the International Physics Olympiad.
