Collapsed lung threatened his JEE dream, but mother's notes helped him reach IIT Delhi

Gunjan Kumar, a student from Sitamarhi, Bihar, faced significant health challenges while preparing for the JEE Advanced exam. Diagnosed with pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and suffering from severe vision impairment, he was bedridden for nearly three months. His mother, Gunja, took on the role of both caregiver and study partner, attending online classes and preparing detailed notes to support his education. These notes ultimately contributed to his success, helping him achieve a PWD OBC Category Rank 50 and Common PWD Rank 120 in JEE Advanced. Gunjan is now set to join IIT Delhi's Computer Science program. His story highlights the importance of parental support and perseverance in overcoming adversity.
