Trisha Salvi, one of the city toppers, said, “I was able to score higher by making consistent, intensive and regular studies, which includes self-study and teachers’ guidance. The support and notes provided by teachers were sufficient for me to easily comprehend the concepts. So, I have never taken coaching for any of the subjects. My older sister, who passed out from the same school in 2019, assisted me in preparing for the examination. As a means of relaxation, while studying for exams, I pursued my hobbies like painting and writing poetry. While preparing for exams, I believe it is essential to refresh our minds, so, we should also pursue hobbies.”
