Share your experience at the recent Vidyarthi Vigyan Manthan Competition.

Participating in the recent VVM competition was both exciting and enriching. The environment was competitive yet collaborative, and I had the chance to meet and learn from like-minded peers across different schools, different states, and different countries.

 Which activities judged your scientific aptitude and logical reasoning?

The scientific aptitude was tested by many challenges, such as a theory exam, a practical test and a viva. Additionally, the experiments and observation rounds required us to think critically, apply logic, and analyse data.

 What was the most challenging part of the competition?

The most difficult part during the participation was performing and interpreting the science experiments under time constraints. Some experiments required precise measurements and careful observation. It tested not only my knowledge but also my presence of mind and accuracy in execution.

How did Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park, support your journey?

The school supported my journey by providing constant help and encouragement throughout the preparation. The school also created a positive and inspiring learning environment that encouraged curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence, which played a big role in my participation and performance.

What’s your ambition in life?

My ambition in life is to become an engineer. I want to use my skills to build useful things that can help people and make life easier. I am interested in solving problems using technology and creating smart solutions for a better and safer world.
