“I spoke to the four frontrunners, Raksha Gopal, Bhumi Sawant, Mannat Luthra and Aditya Jain today. They expressed their passion to be an economist, a politician, an IAS officer and engineer respectively. It is good to see such palpable passion at this age, and such aspirants will surely add to the country’s growth,” said Mr. Javadekar.
The results were announced after much delay due to the controversy with the Marks Moderation Policy.
Earlier on Friday, the CBSE decided to not to move the Supreme Court to challenge the Delhi High Court instructions stating that evaluation for the class 10 and 12 board exams this year should be done as per the grace marks policy.

Mr Javadekar said, “I would like to congratulate all the students who have emerged successfully. This is purely because of their hard work and dedication. Being such an important stage in one’s educational career, it will be fruitful for the progress of the country as well.”
‘Don’t give up’
Stressing on the importance of keeping the educational stride going, the Minister also pointed out that those who were unable to achieve desired results must work harder in their next attempt and must not give up midway.
Furthermore, Mr. Javadekar, who conversed with the four toppers of the country, said their aspirations are high and such diligent individuals are crucial to the country’s future.
The toppers’ parents said they had advised their children to stop using the social media few months before the exams so that they could concentrate better on their studies. While Bhumi plans to pursue a B.Tech in computer science, Aditya and Mannat want to join the civil services. Students can check their results on the official website of the board, cbseresults.nic.in.
