Bengaluru :

Ameet Deshpande, a 17-year-old student from AECS Maruti Public School, has been selected for the International Chemistry Olympiad (ICO) to be held in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Of the 30 students who participated from India, four students were selected for the International Olympiad and Ameet is one of them. Ameet has also enrolled at FIITJEE Bangalore.

Ameet is also an avid footballer. The Olympiad consists of two sessions that run for five hours each and the winner will be decided by a scientific jury set up by the host nation.

“I enjoy chemistry because it is one of the most practical subjects, but I am undecided whether I will pursue it as a career. I am very happy and thankful to all my teachers who helped me to achieve this goal,” said Ameet.
