Chandigarh, May 25

Girls of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Sector 27, hogged the limelight in the CBSE Class XII results, which were declared today, by grabbing the top position in three streams — humanities, commerce and medical — in the tricity. The only exception was a boy from Stepping Stones School, Sector 37, who topped in the non-medical stream.

Breaking the previous record, Tript Kaur of Bhavan Vidyalaya topped in humanities in the tricity by scoring 98.8 per cent marks. She scored 100 per cent marks in political science, physical education and history.

This is perhaps for the first time that a student of humanities has scored 98.8 per cent marks and has been adjudged the overall topper of the tricity as well as the city.

Daughter of Jaspreet Singh, a surveyor with insurance companies, and Manimeet Kaur, a housewife, Tript aims to be a civil servant. She gives the credit for her success to her parents and teachers, who helped and guided her to achieve this feat.

The topper said she gave her best to her studies in the past two years. She was the editor of her school magazine and bagged the first position in the English Olympiad in the state.

Her mother claims that she never had to ask Tript to study at home as she used to do it on her own.

Son of a Ludhiana banker, Chakshu Goyal, a student of Stepping Stones School, topped the non-medical stream in the tricity by scoring 98 per cent marks.

Unaware of the fact that the results were declared today, Goyal was watching a Hindi movie, “Gabbar is Back”, at a mall. His father, Mahesh Goyal, gave him a surprise by informing him about his performance in the exams.

Chakshu was taking coaching at a centre in the city and was putting up in a hostel for the past two years, claimed his proud father, who reached Chandigarh from Ludhiana after learning that his son had scored 98 per cent marks.

Kanksha Malhotra, a student of Bhavan Vidyalaya, is the tricity topper in commerce. A resident of Panchkula, Kanksha has scored 97.8 per cent marks. Daughter of Arun Malhotra, a Panchkula-based realtor, Kanksha said though she was comfortable with her classroom teaching, she opted for tuitions in accounts and mathematics.

Yet another student of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Ayushi Sood, topped the medical stream in the tricity by scoring 96.6 per cent marks. She wants to be a neuroscientist after pursuing her B.Sc (Medical). “I was expecting around 95 per cent marks. My parents contributed a lot to my studies,” she said.
