Organizational and time management skills are two major strengths that Mohit possesses. He is able to effectively manage time to do many things. While most of his peers concentrate just on schoolwork, Mohit being an astoundingly meticulous student, has balanced the time he spends on schoolwork to allow him to be involved in several activities outside the school over the past few years. At times, he would be occupied with research work and writing a research paper, training for and writing the International Mathematical Olympiad, attending a creative writing course, and attending a summer mathematics program.
A child of inimitable distinctive talent, Mohit has also displayed a penchant for poetry writing and painting and sketching and has won many accolades in those contests as well.
Such a multifaceted personality that Mohit is, not surprisingly, he has received admission offers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, UC Berkeley, UC Los Angeles, USA; Trinity College, Cambridge, Imperial College London, University College London, University of Warwick, UK; Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
Mohit has decided to pursue undergraduate studies in Mathematics and Computer Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the USA from August 2022.
