According to the adolescent, international examinations are application-based and test your reasoning as well as your understanding of the idea, whereas Indian exams are concept-based and test your knowledge.
Ruparel Yuvraj, a 14-year-old from Mumbai, has been named one of the world’s top pupils. The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) has recognised a student from Aditya Birla World Academy Day School for his outstanding achievement on the SAT, ACT, and other standardised examinations.
Yuvraj, one of the world’s brightest students, explained that there is a significant difference between Indian and international-level examinations: “International exams are application-based and test your reasoning with concept knowledge, whereas Indian exams are concept-based and test your knowledge.”
Over 19,000 talented kids from 84 countries compete in the competition, and only about 20% of those who enter qualify for the CTY High Honors Awards. Ruparel says that his passion of mathematics was essential in his success on international examinations.
“I definitely benefitted from my excitement for math and my enjoyment of it. I was familiar with the format and exam process, having given numerous international math examinations. Ruparel adds, “I was also familiar with the sort of questions presented because of my past experience with math examinations.”
Ruparel was also accepted into CTY’s online and summer programmes, which bring together outstanding students from all around the world to form a community of active learners.
CTY is committed to recognising academic potential among students and supporting their development through courses, services, and resources tailored to their individual requirements. It attracts students from 50 states and 84 countries across the world, as well as offering over $4 million in financial help to students.
He is now pursuing a career as an aeronautical engineer, where he will concentrate on the development of new technology. “I want to work on new and exciting technologies and programmes to make the world a better place,” he stated, “with so many projects and opportunities coming my way every day.”
Ruparel’s father works in construction, while his mother stays at home. He also has a younger sister who is in class twelve.
