Deepak said, "I did not know anything about engineering but I aimed to put an end to my family's poverty and started preparing for IIT. I prepared on my own when I was in class 11t while I went to Indore for nine months to study at a coaching center where my aunt helped me to get admission. I dreamt to study in IIT Kanpur," The kin of the achiever can not afford TV for their house and also could not attend a touch-screen phone for Deepak but Deepak continued his studies continuously for 10 to 12 hours a day and to prepare better he used to reach an hour earlier and return after an hour from his coaching center.
