Bagai, who scored 97.6 per cent in the Boards, was all praise for her parents and family for supporting her.

“I have done it for my parents. When I scored 92 per cent in the Class X Boards, they weren’t very happy. They wanted to see my name in the newspapers,” she said.

“I used to lock myself up in a room for 10-14 hours at a stretch to study. I followed this routine for almost 20 days. This helped a lot.”

“I am gathering information about the best colleges in Delhi. I hope to get through SRCC (Sriram College of Commerce), St Stephen’s and the College of Business Studies.”
