Students Speak

I am very happy with the results. I completed half of the syllabus in Class 9. I kept away from all the distractions like mobile, TV and other social media. I studied for 10 to 12 hours during the exam period and I want to opt for science stream. I want to become a medical doctor.”

“I always believe in hard work. I kept on studying genuinely throughout the year. My family, friends and my teachers supported me. I studied for three to four hours and would take small breaks which help me focus well. I want to become a psychologist.”

Anushka Waghmare, Class 12, ISC, Bishop’s School, Camp

“I had hoped to do well in board exams but topping the school came as a surprise. I would give much of the credit for my success to my teachers and parents. They encouraged me to work harder and at the same time indulge in some co-curricular activities. This helped me in staying calm and collected during the exam period.”
