She shared that she came across a “hand-written mark sheet” a few days ago while going through old educational certificates. She added, “Papa must have written this just after the UPSC released the results and mark sheets way back in 2008, which just reminds me again of his concern and love for me!”

She expressed that the “support, care and guidance” extended by her parents is “unconditional and irreplaceable”.

“Papa is not with us physically now, but I know he is watching and guiding me in my endeavours towards society,” she continued.

The picture shared online details the marks scored by Goel in various subjects, the interview, grand total, and the percentage of marks she obtained.
