City topper Shravi with 97.4%
‘I scored more than I expected. I was expecting around 96 per cent. I want to become an engineer. I want to study Computer Science in an IIT. I’m very fond of technology. It’s the future. I’ve always scored well in my exams. I have a younger brother (Anay) who will follow my example. My parents (associate professor Shraddha and software engineer Vinay Bansal) are my role models. My aim is to study Computer Science at IIT Bombay. I love playing volleyball and basketball. I’m learning Kathak. Along with my exams, I’ll continue my hobbies’ — Shravi Bansal
City’s second Kirti with 97%
‘Being a city topper is a dream come true for me. I can’t believe it. I’m overwhelmed. I was expecting my friends to score well. Our school campus has changed. The Covid-19 break affected our studies. I was worried, but I worked hard to score well. After the classes, I worked on my subjects. I’d completed most of my other subjects in Class 9. My parents (housewife Sunita and retired BSF officer and administer Yogendra) supported me. I have two elder siblings (Grijesh and Harish) motivated me. I’m not sure about my future yet’ — Kirti Kumari
City’s third Animesh with 96.8%
‘I’m preparing to get into IIT Bombay and study Computer Science. I was particularly interested in Computer Science in Class 10. I’m preparing now for the exam from 8 am to 7.30 pm. I’ve scored till 95 per cent earlier. My father is a businessman. He didn’t study much. My mother is a post-graduate in Hindi literature. I studied in online and offline classes. I have a younger brother (Govind), who is studying in Class 4. I like playing cricket. But now, I have to stop as I want to prepare for IIT’ — Animesh Agrawal
