Originally from Lande village in Moga district, Akshnoor is not only academically brilliant, but also a national-level rugby player. She shared that she had prepared for the exams with great dedication and followed a strict study schedule to ensure consistent performance. Determined to secure a spot in the merit list, her hard work paid off with top honours.
