CBSE 12th Topper Marksheet
Q: Congratulations on your result! How was your reaction after seeing the results? Did you score what you expected?
A: Thank you! I was very happy with my CBSE 12th result. Although I expected and wanted a perfect score, but I was still satisfied with my result.

A: The strategy was very simple, regularity and consistency because there are certain subjects that require regular practice.
Q: Did you take any online or offline coaching?
A: Yes I did take offline coaching but I feel that is never a substitute to classroom learning. They both are complementary to each other.
Q: Who encouraged you the most in this journey?
A: I would actually like to thank all the people through this question for being there for me always. My entire family, friends and teachers all of them encouraged me a lot throughout. Some of them even told me that you will definitely be giving the interview after the result.
Q: What was your routine during CBSE board exam preparation?
A: I could not study early in the morning so I used to study late at night. However, I did not have a specific schedule, I just had a goal for the day and a portion of the syllabus that I used to complete before sleeping.

A: My future plan or aim like any other individual is to get into a top college and become independent and make my family proud.

Q: What are your expectations with CUET?
A: We are told that exams this year will be tougher than last year but I am still expecting to get at least above 700/800 in CUET.
Q: What all courses and Universities/Institutes are you targeting?
A: The Universities I am targetting are IIM INDORE, IIM ROHTAK, DELHI UNIVERSITY (BMS, BCom Hons , BFIA. Economics Hons ). My main aim is to get into IIM which is the dream of any student who wants to pursue management.
Q: Please share some tips for students prepping up to appear in CBSE Board Exams 2024
A: The one thing I wish I had realised sooner is focusing on one marker because those questions are the key to score 100 and being regular with your studies but that doesn't means you should neglect other co-curricular activities. Be a part of group projects, and inter-school competitions because that teaches you a lot .Do your best and prepare in advance so you don't panic in exams.
