“While Hindi was a challenging subject for me, I managed to score 90% in it. Although there was stress during my preparation, I was able to manage it with my family’s support. I plan to choose PCM (physics, chemistry, mathematics) as my subject for the future,” said Tanvi Nagar.
For another topper, Dev Thakur, maths and chemistry were the most interesting subjects. “I found physics a bit tough, but still managed to score 82% in it. There was no family pressure about securing a particular percentage. They kept me motivated throughout. I aim to pursue civil services,” he added.
