After a splendid performance in the Class 12 board exams, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal's daughter Harshita has made his father proud as she has cleared IIT Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).

Harshita, who scored 96 per cent in the board exams, secured 3322 rank in the toughest engineering exam of the country.

Harshita's dad, Kejriwal is also an IITian. He is also an engineering graduate from IIT Kharagpur. He went on to clear the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) exam. He was an Income Tax commissioner when he went on a leave to join social service.

Harshita's mother is a civil servant. She has a brother named Pulkit.

Harshita and Pulkit excelled in academics despite constant disturbances due to their father's political career. They even shifted base from Ghaziabad house when Kejriwal became Delhi Chief Minister. After he resigned from the post, he was asked to vacate the flat allotted by the government.

Kejriwal had footed the rent of the flat, agreeing to vacate the flat after daughter's exams.

When Harshita wrote the IIT Exam, Kejriwal was in jail in Nitin Gadkari defamation case.
