Top charts: City registers downtick

Chandigarh, May 26

Chandigarh produced just one topper of the tricity — Kush Bansal who scored 98.8 per cent in humanities — while toppers in all other streams are students of Panchkula’s Bhavan Vidyalaya. 

In 2017, all toppers were from city, except in the medical stream. Three students from the city had topped not only the tricity last year, but also in the country — Bhoomi Sawant, a science student of DAV Sector 8 had scored 99.4 per cent to emerge as the all-India second topper and Mannat Luthra and Aditya Jain of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Sector 27, jointly bagged the third rank with 99.2 per cent in commerce. 

Principal of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Chandigarh, Vaneeta Arora said their school’s result in English was not up to the mark. “Some of our good students could not score more than 70,” she said. Even at St John’s High School, students complained about the English paper’s marking.  — TNS
