Himanshu&#8217;s remarkable feat came to light after he cracked the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (<!-- -->GATE<!-- -->) competition exam, with the results recently announced. Securing an All India Rank of 205, he received offers from both <!-- -->IIT Bombay<!-- --> and IISc Bangalore for his M.Tech program.<br \/>Having completed his Bachelor of Technology from <!-- -->YMCA Faridabad<!-- --> in 2022, Himanshu simultaneously contributed to his family&#8217;s tea kiosk business, which his father, Om Prakash Hooda, runs on the Rohtak-Sonipat road in Sector-3. Despite the challenges, Himanshu&#8217;s academic journey has been marked by excellence. During his senior secondary schooling at Mahendra Model School, he obtained a remarkable 90% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Himanshu also attempted the <!-- -->Joint Entrance Examination<!-- --> (JEE) advanced after his 10+2 to secure a place in an IIT but was unsuccessful.<br \/>Reflecting on his journey, Himanshu humbly stated, &#8220;I never shied away from lending a hand, even during my school &amp; college days whenever I was in town with my parents. When the GATE result was announced, I was serving tea to customers at our kiosk.&#8221; His mechanical engineering background has further fueled his determination to succeed.<br \/>Om Prakash, Himanshu&#8217;s proud father, shared the challenges he faced since migrating from Mungan village in the district to Rohtak in 1990.<br \/>&#8220;I lived on rent in a housing board colony so that at least my next generation could achieve big and lead a good life,&#8221; he explained. Despite incurring a loan of 15 lakhs to support his son&#8217;s education, Prakash said that he does not perceive it as a burden, as Himanshu has now fulfilled his lifelong dream.<br \/>&#8220;During his preparation, he even scribbled IIT Bombay on the house walls to perpetuate in his mind how much IIT Mumbai matters to him&#8221;, Prakash added.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) \n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() \n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        ;\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) \n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || ;\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) \n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) \n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n       else \n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config)\n          if (config) \n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);<\/p>\n<p>        )<\/p>\n<p>    ;\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/education\/news\/tea-sellers-son-secures-spot-at-iit-bombay\/articleshow\/101127215.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] ROHTAK: In an awe-inspiring achievement; Himanshu Hooda, a 23-year-old son of a humble tea seller, realized his lifelong dream of gaining admission to the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay.
