CBSE TOPPER

Roshini Bano and K Vijay Kumar were joint toppers of the Board exams for the Ajmer and Chennai zones respectively and both hit the Bull’s Eye with 490 marks out of 500. For both, the results come as a pleasant surprise. Roshni may be a topper but success still comes at a price for her. She may not even be able to see herself on TV. Vijay makes getting the achievement sound like a cake walk. He says he “didn't do anything special” to surge ahead of his peers. No tuitions, no restrictions on TV viewing or meeting friends, but what did help was a supportive school and family.For them, getting into an Engineering or Medical college will not be an easy task as the state government has abolished the Common Entrance Test. Admissions will made on the basis of marks and some feel this gives an edge to students from the state board, where its easier to score marks than under CBSE. SOURCE--www.ibnlive.com
