Bengaluru toppers thank teachers, parents
Students from Bengaluru fared well in the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations for Class 10 (ICSE) and Class 12 (ISC), the results were announced on Friday.
Shivali Verma from Greenwood High who secured an aggregate of 98 per cent said, “It’s impossible to do well in any exam without the unconditional backing and efficient methods of the school, and my story is no exception. I would like to pursue a career in medical research.”
Arpitha Malavalli Srivathsa of Innisfree House School, who secured 97.01 per cent (583-600) said, “I did not study simply because it was the board exams and I needed to do so. I never attended a single tuition class and paid a lot of attention in class. I had very good teachers for all subjects. I studied for an hour each day and enjoyed playing basketball and singing Indian classical music during my leisure hours. I thank my parents for their support.”
Unlike her peer, Arpitha does not have any account in social media platforms as feels it is ‘a waste of time!’
Preeth Jitesh from Baldwin Boys' High School who scored 97 % (582 out of 600) said, “I studied for six to eight hours during weekends and two hours on weekdays. I did not rely only on text books and went through previous question papers and ICSE prelims online. My parents were supportive and never forced me to study.” He said he never attended private tuitions.
