“I want to study economics going ahead and am waiting for a response from a university in Singapore which I am aiming for. After I complete my undergraduate degree, I want to streamline into behavioural economics, that’s what I’m interested in,” she said.

“It was a little difficult because you need to put more effort into learning online. In offline classes, you are more interested and engaged. I do feel that that loss of interest affected me,” said Anandita.

“My school had prepared well to give us a smooth online learning experience but it was not as easy as learning offline. Personally, I would prefer that if ever in the future such circumstances arrive again, a way should be found to have offline classes,” said Aditya.

Both siblings enjoy artistic pursuits. While Aditya enjoys poetry and has participated in several competitions, Anandita paints and draws in her free time.

This year, with a score of 99.75 per cent, 18 students across the country are tied for the first rank in the ISC examinations, the results of which were released on Sunday.

That means each of these 18 students missed out on a perfect 400/400 by just one mark in English and their best three subjects.

Like the CBSE, the CISCE too had conducted two board examinations for the 2021-2022 academic year at the end of two semesters instead of one exam at the end of the year. However, unlike the CBSE, the CISCE decided to give equal weightage to marks of both semesters in the computation of the final results. While 18 students are tied for the top spot with 99.75 per cent, a whopping 58 students are tied for the second spot with 99.5 per cent and 78 students are tied for the third spot with 99.25 per cent.
