New Delhi: Chirag Falor, the boy who headed the Joint Entrance Exam (Advanced) 2020 has decided not to enter any of India’s Institutes of Technology.

But now, he has revealed that he will skip the IIT and has already been admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States.
“I have already gotten into MIT and will move on. Classes have already started and I am attending them online. I had been preparing for these exams for four years, so I did not want to stop attending the exam. Falor was quoted by the PTI news agency.
He also claimed that he used to attend MIT classes online at night and then prepare for IIT exams during the day.
He added: “The JEE was more difficult than the MIT exam. The exam has given me a completely different confidence.”
