Initially, he was an average student with a 75% score in his 10th-grade exams, more inclined towards sports than academics. Little did he know that this shift would redefine his life.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Power_of_Routine_%E2%80%93_Nitnem_and_Discipline\"><\/span>The Power of Routine &#8211; Nitnem and Discipline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At Baru Sahib, Amrit embraced the disciplined routine of waking up early for Nitnem (morning prayers). This practice not only deepened his spiritual connection but also brought clarity and focus to his academic pursuits. His marks soared from 75% in 10th grade to an impressive 84% in 12th grade.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Family_Rooted_in_Faith\"><\/span>A Family Rooted in Faith<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Amrit\u2019s family, deeply devoted to Sikhi, has been blessed with remarkable achievements. His elder brother, Ajitpal Singh, is pursuing MBBS in Russia, and his sister is also an MBBS professional. Their father, S. Harjit Singh, a farmer, has been serving at Akal Academy since 1987, instilling strong values in his children.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Secret_to_Success_%E2%80%93_Sikhi_and_Early_Rising\"><\/span>The Secret to Success &#8211; Sikhi and Early Rising<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Amrit attributes his success to two key practices: maintaining his Sikhi and the habit of rising early for Amrit Vela (early morning prayers). He emphasizes that while the teaching strategies and resources at both academies were similar, the spiritual environment at Baru Sahib made all the difference.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Message_to_Aspiring_Students\"><\/span>A Message to Aspiring Students<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Amrit\u2019s story is a testament to the transformative power of faith and discipline. His advice to students is simple yet profound: \u201cMaintain your Sikhi and embrace the habit of early morning Nitnem.
