PATNA: Patna students have come out with flying colours in the IITJEE results which were declared on Wednesday. 

Kumar Shivam, son of former Congress ministerVijay Shankar Dubey, secured all-India rank (AIR) 1062. "Hard work pays," said the 19-year-old, who has also cleared ISRO and BITS-Pilani exams sans coaching. Shivam will try his luck at the Union civil services exam after passing out of IIT. 

Mohd Kamran Ashraf, whose father is a watch mechanic and also runs a stall near the Patna railway station, has fetched AIR 704 in OBC category in his first attempt. He also cleared the national round of physics Olympiad last year. "I want to become a scientist," Ashraf said. Aquib Jawed, son of an Araria lawyer, has secured AIR 660 in OBC category. Sadab Naseem, son of a bookbinder, has ranked 797 in OBC category. 

They and several others from underprivileged sections were coached free of cost at six centres under the guidance of physics teacher and IPS officer Abhayanand. The officer, who was earlier associated with Anand Kumar's famous Super-30, played an "academic mentor" for the aspirants at these centres, including 'GAIL-Utkarsh Superb 60' at Kanpur, 'Utkarsh Superb 30' at Guwahati, 'Utkarsh Superb 30' at Delhi, 'Magadh Super 30' at Gaya and 'Triveni Super 30' and 'Rahmani Super 30' at Patna. 

"The numbers in the names do not denote the number of the students we coached," Abhayanand told newsmen and said 34 of his 91 students have made it to IITs this year.
