LONDON: (Sep 3) An 18-year-old student from India on Wednesday emerged as a top 10 finalist for the USD 100,000 Chegg.org Global Student Prize 2025 in recognition of his enterprising spirit.

Adarsh Kumar of Jayshree Periwal International School (JPIS) in Jaipur, Rajasthan, was selected from almost 11,000 nominations and applications from 148 countries to become the only Indian student to make the cut for the annual prize, given to an exceptional student who has made a real impact on learning and society at large.

Born in Champaran, Bihar, Adarsh became the first student to win a full-ride scholarship to JPIS, worth Rs 30 lakhs, and now helps replicate that success for others.
