CBSE 12th Topper 2024 Adyasha Syam, a Humanities student of SAI International School, emerged as a school topper with 99%. With such amazing scores, Syam is now planning to pave her path in the legal industry and pursue her career in Law. In an exclusive interview with Shiksha.com, Syam shared her CBSE 12th exam preparation routine, career plans, tips for aspirants and more. 

The Board announced the CBSE Result 2024 Class 12 on May 13, 2024. CBSE Board Exams 2024 were conducted from March 15 to May 2, 2024. 

Q: Congratulations on your result! How was your reaction after seeing the results? Did you score what you expected?

Q:   I got 74% marks in top 4 subjects in 12th (Science) CBSE .. What should I do now ?

A:
Science students try for b. Tech for which you need to have already appeared for entrance. If you did not then try to get in DUBAI, MU colleges with grade 12 score into BSc. You may also try physics honors, math honors etc. And in case you are interested in commerce or humanities, these options are still open for you

Q:   Will I clear the CBSE board exams 2025 if I obtain 33 percent in theory but not in practicals separately?

A:

No. It is necessary that you score a minimum of 33 percent in practical and theory exams separately. In case you're unable to score the minimum marks either in theory or practicals even when the total aggregate is 33 percent, you won't be considered pass. 

Q:   How many subjects should be included while calculating class 12th CBSE board percentage?

A:
In aggregate, all five subjects' marks are calculated. If you want admission in a particular field in a particular college then maybe they will check your score in 4 subjects (English + 3 Subjects of Commerce or Science). Also, if you have Physical Education and some good awards(State or National) with you then you can be admitted through Sports Quota based on your performance in Sports. All the best.

A: Thank you! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my scores because I really did not expect 99%. Yesterday was a very happy day.

A: I have been raised by my mother and grandparents, who have been a constant source of support for me throughout my academic journey.

Q: Please tell me about your stream, Did you choose this stream by choice?

A: I chose the Humanities stream because I could not picture myself studying anything else. I love all the subjects this stream has to offer.

Q: What was your strategy to score above 95%?

A: I went through all the NCERT content thoroughly, made my own short notes and kept revising them. I also solved as many sample papers as I could, and all the past question papers of CBSE.

Q:   I have scored 70% in class 12th from CBSE board in 2024. Can I give improvement exam in 2025 without attending school?

A:

Yes, you can take improvement exams without attending school, provided you follow the procedures outlined by the CBSE board. Here’s how it typically works:

  1. Eligibility: You must have passed your Class 12 exams and be seeking to improve your marks. Improvement exams are generally available for students who wish to enhance their scores in specific subjects.

  2. Registration: You need to register for the improvement exams through the CBSE board. This is usually done online via the CBSE's official website or through the school you attended. Since you're not attending school, you'll need to handle this registration process independently.

  3. Examination Centers: You will need to select an examination center where you will appear for the improvement exams. You can usually choose a center that's convenient for you.

  4. Preparation: You’ll need to prepare for the exams independently or through private coaching/tutoring if you’re not attending school.

  5. Syllabus and Study Material: Ensure you have access to the syllabus and study materials for the subjects you plan to improve.

Q: Did you take any online or offline coaching?

A: For the boards, I didn't take coaching.

Q: Who encouraged you the most in this journey?

A: My mother is the one who encouraged and inspired me the most. She made sure to take care of everything else so I could just focus on my studies, and motivated me throughout the ups and downs of this journey.

Q: What was your routine during CBSE board exam preparation?

A: My entrance exams were in December, so it was only after they ended that I could fully focus on the CBSE Board Exams. For the first month, I went through the textbooks word by word, summarized every chapter in a page each using keywords, and kept revising those notes. For the rest of the days, my time was spent doing as many sample papers as I could. I limited myself to two hours per paper and studied for around 12 hours a day to optimize my preparation.

Q: What are your future plans? Which career path are you aiming for?

A: I aim to pursue a career in law, for which I have already taken admission in the National Law University Delhi.

Q: What all entrance exams you are targeting?

A: I took two entrances: CLAT and AILET (NLUD). In the latter I held an All-India Rank of 13.

Q: What all courses and Universities/Institutes are you targeting?

A: I will study law, for which I have already taken admission at the National Law University Delhi. My course spans over five years, during which I want to explore different subfields before streamlining my career path.

Q: Please share some tips for students prepping up to appear in CBSE Board Exams 2025

A: For this year's batches, I would recommend going through the NCERT meticulously. There is no need to resort to any reference books as long as you are thorough with your actual textbooks. Please solve the past years' papers and go through their marking schemes as well (available on the CBSE website). Alongside studying, make sure to eat and sleep properly, and take time out for yourself.
