The success stories of these bright students underscored the significance of strategic planning and disciplined study routines.

Many of the top performers credited their achievements to meticulous preparation strategies, which included solving previous year question papers, completing revisions well in advance of the exam, and minimizing distractions such as social media.

City’s top scorer, Tanush Bansal, who achieved an impressive 99.97 percentile, shared his winning strategy, saying, “Solving series of previous year question papers helped me familiarise myself with the exam pattern. For last-minute revisions, I relied on concise charts and notes. To maintain focus and mental freshness, I incorporated regular walks and short excursions into my routine.
