From disciplined preparation to unwavering determination, their journeys reflect resilience and focus. Filled with pride and joy, they share their experiences, strategies, and emotions behind achieving remarkable success.  

Maanvik Mittal, who scored 96.6% and emerged as the school topper said, “I was honestly taken aback when I first heard my result, as I hadn’t expected the scores to be announced so soon. My preparation strategy was simple. I focused deeply during classroom teaching, as I believe understanding concepts there made a significant difference. The consistent encouragement from my teachers, even when my pre-Board performance wasn’t the best, kept me motivated to improve.”

He followed a flexible study routine that suited him, often studying late at night. “Maintaining a balance between studies and rest was equally important. While I am still exploring future career options, I have chosen the non-medical stream, driven by my growing interest and curiosity in mathematics, a subject that continually motivates me to push my limits,” he said.  

Sameer Sagar, who scored 95%, felt it was a great achievement for him, especially as it aligned closely with the goal I had set for himself. “When I first saw my result, I felt a sense of calm satisfaction rather than surprise, as it was something I had consistently worked towards. My preparation was structured and disciplined, with a balance of online classes, self-study, and regular revision of both school and additional learning material,” he stated.

The constant support from the school and teachers, practice tests, and detailed feedback during pre-Boards played a crucial role in helping him stay on track.

“Alongside academics, I engaged in activities like playing chess and badminton, which helped sharpen my focus and decision-making skills. Looking ahead, I plan to pursue engineering in computer science and have opted for the PCM stream, he shared and added, stay determined, set clear goals, and maintain consistency throughout your preparation was his advice for the juniors.
