A student of St Mark’s Senior Secondary School, Meera Bagh, the topper surely gave his friends, family and teachers a happy day. Sincere, obedient and studious is how Mudit’s father describes him, adding that it was just half the battle won. Mudit’s wish to get through Sukhdev College to pursue a BBS course will add cherry to the cake.

“I have never let my problem with hearing interfere with my life and I will make sure that it does not hamper my career,” said Mudit. He wants to pursue a Bachelors degree and then go on to get a degree in management.
