Hargun Preet scored 100/100 in four of the five core subjects, with 99/100 in English. “He had a tough year, battling depression due to being in a lockdown and interruption in academics. But he remained strong and his success in the Class X is a fruit of his perseverance,” said Amritpreet Singh, Hargun’s father.
