Having topped the ICSE level in the State two years ago, Lekshmi S. Sunil was hopeful of putting up a good show in the ISC examinations. But, never had she anticipated a third position at the national-level, even while ensuring a second position in the State.

Lekshmi, who pursued the Science stream with Computer Science in the St. Thomas Residential School, Thiruvananthapuram, credits her performance to meticulous preparation that included covering her portions on a daily basis and leaving nothing for the last minute. Her routine enabled her to progress without depending on tuitions at any stage.

She has her sights firmly set on the Civil Services. For now, she intends on pursuing engineering and has already cleared the JEE (Mains). Lekshmi is the daughter of B. Sunil, General Manager, Coirfed, and S.R. Sheeja, Assistant Professor (Economics), School of Distance Education, Kerala University.

Bringing more cheer to the State capital are the achievements of Sameera S. Prakash of St. Thomas Residential School, Gouri Prasad of Chinmaya Vidyalaya and Ashwin Arun of St. Thomas Residential School, who secured first, second and third positions respectively in the ICSE examinations in the State.
