Bhopal: Results of Class XII exams of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) were released on Sunday. Free Press Journal spoke to some of the toppers in the city to reveal the secrets behind their success.
I want to be doctor. I just wrote the AIIMS examination held on Sunday. I believe in regular study and used to devote 11 hours during exams. I used to take half-an-hour break and also play games for about an hour daily to destress. I used to wake up at 5.45 am and go to bed at 12 midnight. Though I believe in self study, I take coaching classes to prepare for competitive exams. All credit goes to my parents, especially, my mother who works in railway. She worked hard for my success and also took leave from office during my exams. My father is a manager with IDBI Bank
