Read edited excerpts here.

What was your preparation for the Boards like?

I scored an aggregate of 99% in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) with a perfect score in French. I ensured to make thorough notes in class X, revise religiously and scan through the previous year’s papers and NCERT books.

Which stream have you taken and what are your plans?

I have opted for Commerce with Core Mathematics in class XI. With CUET as my prime focus, I am still exploring options in Economics and Business Administration.

How did the teachers help you?

The teachers at Apeejay provided me with round-the-clock support. They clarified our doubts, provided us with supplementary materials, and encouraged us throughout the journey in class X. They are truly the best mentors you could ask for!

Which extracurricular activities do you enjoy at school?

I was given the golden opportunity to hone my oratory skills as I hosted various Inter-school events. As the Vice-house Prefect, I actively participated in Inter-house events.

Message for the students appearing for Class X Boards next year.

Don’t let exam preparation take a toll on your mental health. Follow your teacher’s advice and always remember, ‘The journey matters more than the destination!’
