Proud parents: Father watchman, mother homemaker
I am from Sagar. My father is a watchman in a private garden and my mother is a homemaker. I study in Government Subhash Higher Secondary School for Excellence, Bhopal and I used to live in the hostel of the school. In Class 10, I had obtained 99.8% marks and was the state topper. I had worked hard this year and I felt bad that I got marks without writing an examination. I want to become an engineer and for that I will be appearing in JEE-Advanced. Later, I want to appear in the UPSC examination. I saw my result online. Due to Covid, my teachers didn’t ask me to come to Bhopal.

I am from Damoh. My father is an auto-driver and my mother manages the home. I was expecting high marks as the results were to be based on Class 10 examination and I had got 99.2 in High School. Also, we gave weekly tests online and those were taken into consideration. I would have felt better had exams been held. I want to become a software engineer. As for social media, I use only WhatsApp and that too, mainly for studies. I am not on Twitter, FB etc.
