“The mathematics paper was very tough this time and many lost marks there. I had expected to score somewhere around 96-96 per cent. It was super news when I found out that I not on scored 99.25 per cent but also secured AIR 2. I want to pursue chartered accountancy for which I will be appearing for the foundation exam next month. After that, I haven’t decided but will want to pursue an MBA degree.”

Chatrabhuj Narsee Memorial School, Vile Parle, 99%, AIR# 4
“I scored 91 per cent in my pre-board exams so was expecting to score a maximum of around 93-94 per cent. Scoring 99 per cent was a big surprise, forget about the merit list and All India Rank. I was planning to pursue a BSc in finance from NMIMS. But with my scores, I would now want to apply for Ivy league universities abroad.”

Shreya Upadhyay
Bombay Scottish School, Mahim, 99.80%, AIR # 1
“I was not at all nervous before the exams as we had a day’s gap between each exam. My exams went very well but I did not expect to score above 99 per cent. After the exam, I calculated my scores and put together the least I could get and accordingly, I expected above 98 per cent. Securing All India Rank (AIR) 1 was a surprise. I now want to pursue computer engineering in the US.”
Advay Sardesai
Campion School, Colaba, 99.80%, AIR# 1
“I have been consistent in studies and was definitely expecting a good score, but not above 99 per cent. And an All India Rank 1 is a great surprise. My family and I are planning to shift to London in a few days, where I plan to pursue an A-level course for junior college education. Both my parents are from a finance background but I wish to pursue science and study subjects like mathematics and physics. Besides this, economics is what interests me.”

Smt. Sulochanadevi Singhania School, Thane, 99.80%, AIR # 1
“I won’t hide the fact that I was nervous and anxious before the exams. But thanks to my father who guided and supported me. He always asked me to stay calm, which worked for me. I expected to score around 97 per cent. Securing over 99% and AIR 1 was totally unexpected. I want to pursue either aerospace engineering or computer engineering at IIT Bombay. I have already started preparing for the same.”
Tanay Shah
Kapol Vidyanidhi School, Kandivali, 99.80%, AIR #1
“I was well prepared for the exam. Extra-curricular activities helped me keep a consistent focus on my studies. Instead of spending time online, I spent time on sports like badminton, table tennis etc. I wish to opt for commerce and then pursue a CA degree.”
Hiya Sanghvi
Children’s Academy, Malad East, 99.80%, AIR # 1
“I was well prepared for the exam but did not expect to score over 99 per cent or secure AIR 1. I always wished to be a merit rank holder, but then there are much brighter students in my school. I was happy, thinking I would score around 97 per cent. I have no fixed plans for the future, but I would be opting for the commerce stream.”
