The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the CBSE class 12 board exam results on its official website today. An 18-year-old Lucknow girl Divyanshi Jain has created a history by obtaining 600 marks out of 600 to get 100% marks in the CBSE class 12.
Divyanshi is a student of Navyug Radiance Senior Secondary School, Lucknow, and scored a 100 in English, Sanskrit, History, Geography, Insurance, and Economics.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Divyanshi said, “This is unbelievable. I am elated and surprised at the same time”.
For her remarkable marks, Divyanshi gave credit to her father and mother. “My teachers guided me throughout the year and I was able to follow a systematic routine due to my parents. Both these factors allowed me to concentrate on my studies and score good marks,” said Divyanshi.
“I also made it a point to focus on revision and mock tests that helped me to score better,” she further added.
The 18-year-old is the second child of a businessman father and a homemaker mother. Being a history enthusiast, she wants to pursue the subject for her higher studies. “I want to study history further. I have applied for admissions in BA (H) History at Delhi University”, Divyanshi stated.
