Bangalore: As usual, girls outperformed boys in the Indian Certificate for Secondary Education (ICSE) and Indian School Certificate (ISC) examinations, the results of which were declared on Saturday. Most of the schools in the city that are affiliated to the ICSE and ISC boards have registered cent per cent results.
With 97.28 per cent, Bhargav Ramakrishna Reddy topped the class 10 exams at Bethany High School in Koramangala. Surprisingly, Bhargav claims that he did not put in a lot of hard work. "In fact, I overslept and played cricket before the exams," he laughs. However, he said he had a tough time studying History, while Mathematics and Physics were easy.
Ranjitha Guttapadu, a student of New Horizon Public School, secured 96.86 per cent in class 10. She said she was not a 'nerd' as she had equal focus on co-curricular activities. "My teachers and tutor were very supportive and made Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics easy. Revising everyday after school was the key," said Ranjitha.
Meghna Suresh from Sri Vani Education Centre, Rajajinagar topped her school with 96.14 per cent. "I am happy, as I had no expectations whatsoever," she said, adding that Mathematics was her favourite subject.
