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 so I took NDA Coaching in Chandigarh to perform in a better way. But I ensured four hours of preparation for the exams and two hours of football and other physical activities,' he added.

He got many best wishes from state Chief Minister and Delhi Career group. Honorable CM said, 'I congratulate Parveen for making an informed choice; he has set an example for millions and has made our state proud- it is an another feather in state 'already illustrious' cap- may he achieve more success in his military career!'

Another two students of NDA Coaching in Chandigarh Yadwinder Singh and Sameer Shukla have secured sixth and eighth rank, respectively.

Since UPSC NDA results have been declared, Parveen Joshi has became an inspiration to many others. 'I stayed away from social media. Though I am fond of smartphones, I purchased it after clearing all my exams,' he added behind his success strategy.
