How did Apeejay School, Noida, influence your academic interests?

My school played a major role in shaping my academic interests because of the highly qualified teachers and their experience-based teaching. Their constant guidance and encouragement helped me approach subjects with more confidence and curiosity.

Which subject challenged you the most during your school years?

Physics challenged me the most initially, as it required conceptual clarity and consistent practice. However, once I began understanding the logic behind the concepts, it gradually became easier and more interesting.

Was there a teacher who made a lasting impact on your learning journey?

There were a few. But one has had a significant impact on me. Even after many failures, she never lost hope in me and constantly motivated me to believe in my abilities.

How did the school support you in balancing academics with co-curricular activities?

The school provided many opportunities to showcase my talent in co-curricular activities. Practice sessions were adjusted within school hours, which helped me manage my time better and reduce unnecessary pressure.

What study habits helped you during Class XII and Board exam preparation?

All my teachers believed that practice is the key. In Class XII, regular revision and solving questions consistently made board preparation feel structured and manageable.

Looking back, which school memory stands out the most for you?

One of my most memorable moments was performing during the Kargil Diwas assembly in front of the entire school. Although my solo was initially cancelled, being called on stage unexpectedly taught me confidence and presence of mind.

What values from school will you carry forward into college life?

The most important values I will carry forward are respect and strong personal morals. School taught me that staying grounded, disciplined, and respectful helps not only in academics but also in life beyond the classroom.
