Jalandhar girls have performed brilliantly and topped the three streams — medical, non-medical and commerce — in the Class XII exam results declared by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

Shunned social media, saw improvement

I stopped using social media two years ago and saw a lot of improvement in myself. I just got bored of it and realised that it was of no use. Now I have immersed myself in the books and novels, apart from subject-related books.

— Noorpal Kaur Sidhu, Commerce topper

Interestingly, all of them are avid readers. Noorpal Kaur Sidhu from Lala Jagat Narain DAV Model School scored 99.49 per cent in the commerce stream and bagged overall first position in the district. Noor shared that she was not expecting this result at all.

The daughter of lawyer parents, Noor wants to pursue either BA economics (honours) or psychology (honours). “I am very interested in knowing how people’s minds work,” she shared. An ardent reader, Noor shared that she writes poetry also. While talking to The Tribune, Noor confessed that she was always an average student. But what changed then? “I stopped using social media two years ago and saw a lot of improvement in myself. I just got bored of it and realised that it was of no use and now I have immersed myself in the books and novels, apart from subject-related books,” the topper shared. “I just listened to my teachers; they have worked harder than me. They prepared us for everything. I am thankful to them and my parents,” she expressed.
