My teachers told me not to worry about money and that they will support me," Roshni told reporters after the results were announced.

Soon after the news broke out, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar congratulated Roshni and all the successful students, highlighting the significant role of female students in securing top positions across all three streams.
