According to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) officials, this year, the boys have outshined girls in the engineering preliminary examination.

'Hard work made me successful'
Abhijit, a student of Stepping Stones Senior Secondary School, Sector 37, has always been a topper and aspires to get a seat in IIT Delhi, from where his father Chetak Arun did his engineering.

Abhijit says hard work and dedication, apart from constant support from parents, made him successful.

"Balance and staying calm is the key to securing result, because taking pressure will lead to disturbance," he adds.
