Hi all, Rightly said by Vibhu. The CBSE did a commendable job, though I had challenges during the examination. My question papers could not be scanned because of subjects like Physics, Chemistry and mathematics, and I had to type out the question papers. There were also some glitches during the Mathematics examination. nevertheless, excellent work by the Board!
I'm happy to share that I have secured an aggregate of 96%, emerging as the All India topper in the special category. This includes a 99% in Computer Science with a 99.9% percentile. Nothing wouldn't have been possible without the continued support and guidance received from my school administration, parents and teachers. Also, thanks to Prashant sir, without whose guidance nothing wouldn't have been possible. Finally, thank you all! Conversations on the list have been so inspiring and informative, and have always motivated me to go ahead, no matter what.
