CBSE Class 12 results: Three girls among five toppers in City Beautiful Chandigarh

For the tiny Union Territory of Chandigarh, 2017 was a special year with Bhoomi Sawant, scoring 99.4% in science to emerge as the all-India second topper and Mannat Luthra and Aditya Jain jointly bagging the third rank with 99.2% in commerce.

It was too good to last. After the city created a buzz nationally last year when three of its students were all-India toppers in the Central Board of Secondary Examinations Class 12 exams, 2018 has been pretty tame with just one tricity topper scoring 98.8% in humanities.
