'I always wanted to join the Indian Army as the kind of pride, respect, honour, discipline and adventure associated with it is not offered in any other profession. Joining defence forces is the best way you can serve your nation. The syllabus for class 12 exams and JEE is quite similar. NDA picks more generic topics. But I ensured three hours of preparation for the exams and two hours of football and other physical activities,' he said to the leading daily, Indian Express.
Congratulating Shivansh, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said, 'I congratulate Shivansh for making an informed choice; he has set an example for millions and has made our state proud- it is an another feather in Uttarakhand's 'already illustrious' cap- may he achieve more success in his military career!'
He has scored 1026 out of 1800 marks in the exam. His father, Sanjeev Joshi, is employed with Life Insurance Corporation and his mother, Tanuja Joshi, is a government primary school teacher.
Anirudh Singh and Somay Badola have secured second and third rank, respectively.
Since UPSC NDA results have been declared, Shivansh Joshi has been an inspiration to many. 'I stayed away from social media. Though I am fond of smartphones, I purchased it after clearing all my exams,' the daily added about his success strategy.
