Anvesha Dutta of Bright Riders School has topped Abu Dhabi region in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class X examinations.
She got 492 marks out of 500 at 98.4 per cent. Anvesha has scored 100 in social science, 99 in mathematics and English, 98 in science and 96 in Hindi.
"As you know there was a change in system (CBSE's shift from Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation to board exams). My school worked very hard and there were big focus on revisions. I wasn't expecting this result.
I knew I would top the school," said an elated Anvesha, who is a topper from Class VII.
Interestingly, Anvesha has scored full in a subject she doesn't like much.
"Social science subject is so vast with so much to memorise. I like mathematics a lot and don't know where I lost my one mark," she said in a disappointing tone.
Anvesha, a native of Indian state of Assam, is taking up science stream.
"I want to study computer science engineering. I will do my engineering and later an MBA."
She sees her parents as role models. He father works as a geologist in Adnoc and mother is a former professor. Anvesha takes time out of studies by swimming, playing badminton and keyboard.
"It is important to strike a balance," she added.
Meanwhile, a student from Mayoor Private School, a fairly new educational institution, has bagged the second spot in the Capital. And it is another girl student.
School topper is Rachel Babu Thachil with overall score of 490 out of 500 marks at 98 per cent, which makes her No. 2 behind Anvesha.
And principal Annahita Pagdiwalla is ecstatic with the wonderful results.
"Our students have performed extremely well and that too considering this is only our second batch. We have achieved our consecutive 100 per cent result."
She noted there were 15 students in the first batch and now the number had hit 32.
"We had 40 per cent of our students getting more than 90 per cent. The overall average of the school is 84.5 per cent. This result is all hard work of teachers, parents and students," Annahita said.
As things stand, the number one and two spots are taken by girls in Abu Dhabi region.
