NEW DELHI: The phones won't stop buzzing, there is a line of reporters outside waiting for an interview, the entire household is bustling with joy. As soon as the CBSE Class XII results came out, Raksha Gopal's dream came true. She had topped the country with a humongous score of 99.6 per cent.
A humanities student of Noida's Amity International School, Raksha is not just a book worm. She is also a pianist who has completed grade V in electronic keyboard from the Trinity College, London. Raksha scored a hundred in three subjects out of the best five- English, Political Science and Economics. When being asked how did she achieve such a great feat, Raksha gave all the credit to her parents' supports and the guidance of her teachers. "I was confident f securing good marks but never thought I would be all-India topper," she said
She now wants to pursue political science and decide further only after her graduation.
As she smiles amid the flashes of the media cameras, it is the message from her mother Ranjani Gopal which she likes the most. "Don't get carried away with the limelight. Stay focused on the future," says the mother of the 17-year old.
Bhumi Sawant from DAV Chandigarh came a close second with 99.4 per cent (Science), while Aditya Jain from Bhawan Vidyalaya in Chandigarh scored 99.2 per cent (Commerce) to take home the third spot.
Bhumi Sawant couldn't contain her happiness and was on cloud 9 for making her parents proud. "It is the greatest moment, I am ecstatic," she said, her voice shaking with happiness.
Aditya Jain from Bhawan Vidyalaya in Chandigarh was as ecstatic as the other two. "I don't know how to describe this feeling, it's like a dream," Aditya said. With the dream of becoming a great economist, Aditya is eyeing SRCC and St Stephen's now.
All the toppers from this year's CBSE results vouch for consistent studies and say that quality matters over quantity. "It does not matter if you study 8 hours or 6 hours. But when you study, it should only be about the books and you and nothing else," Aditya said. "Studying at home apart from the regular classes is crucial for excelling in exams," said Bhumi who wants to get into computer engineering
