Scored a Perfect 500/500! CBSE Topper AIR 1 Aarav Malhotra Reveals His Study Hacks and Booklist!
SMPL
New Delhi [India], June 13: In a year when lakhs of students appeared for the CBSE Class 10 examinations, Aarav Malhotra has emerged as one of the shining stars, scoring a perfect 500 out of 500. The Noida-based student's incredible feat has made his family and school proud and inspired thousands of aspiring students across the country.
In an exclusive conversation, Aarav opened up about his preparation strategy, the challenges he faced, and the role Oswaal Books played in his journey to perfection.
'I believe consistency and smart study matter more than just long hours. I never followed a fixed number of study hours, but I made sure every hour I studied was distraction-free and meaningful,' says Aarav, who aspires to pursue science in his higher secondary education.
When asked about how he approached different subjects, Aarav explained, 'Each subject needs a different strategy. For Math and Science, I focused more on concept clarity and practicing as many different types of questions as possible. Social Science and English were more about understanding and expressing well.'
Aarav credits a significant part of his success to the right study material. 'I relied heavily on Oswaal Books -- especially their Question Banks and Sample Papers. The way their content is structured makes it easy to revise topics quickly. The mind maps and concept videos in their books were extremely helpful,' he shares.
He also pointed out that practicing from Oswaal's sample papers gave him a real exam-like experience. 'Solving those papers helped me manage time better and understand the CBSE paper pattern more clearly. In fact, many similar questions appeared in the actual exam.'
Despite the pressure, Aarav remained calm and focused, a quality he attributes to support from his parents and teachers. 'They never pressured me for marks but encouraged me to do my best,' he says with a smile.
For future aspirants, Aarav has a simple message: 'Stay consistent, trust the process, and use quality resources like Oswaal Books. They really make a difference.'
As Aarav steps into the next chapter of his academic journey, he remains grounded and focused. His story is a powerful reminder that with the right mindset, guidance, and resources, achieving excellence is well within reach.

Vishwas Kumar lone survivor in Air India crash, his brother dies
The photo of Viswash Kumar Ramesh, bruised and battered, limping away from the debris of the Air India flight that crashed seconds after take-off in Ahmedabad on Thursday has become one of the defining images of India's worst aviation disaster in a decade. At his home in Leicester, central England, however, Ramesh's family oscillated between joy at his escape and grief at the loss of his brother. 'We are happy Viswash has been saved, but on the other hand we are just heartbroken about Ajay,' Hiren Kantilal, Ramesh's cousin, said. Ajay was also on the same flight seated on 11J while Ramesh was on 11A. Their younger brother, Nayan, said the two were on the return journey home after a vacation in India. 'Luckily, the portion of the plane where I was seated fell on the ground floor of the hostel premises after the plane crash-landed. When I saw that the door of the plane was broken, I told myself I can try and get out,' said Ramesh. A spokesperson from Downing Street confirmed that the UK Foreign Office has been in contact with Ramesh to offer consular support. Apart from Ramesh and Ajay, there were 51 other British nationals on the Air India flight. Of them, Hardik Avaiya, 27 and Vibhooti Patel, 28, have been identified as the victims. Avaiya and Patel, both Leicester residents, had gone to India to celebrate their engagement. Arjun Patoliya, who went to India to fulfil his wife's dying wish to immerse her ashes in Narmada, was among the victims. 'Her wish was that the ashes must be submerged in Narmada River,' said a member of the Indian Gujarati community who did not wish to be identified. Patoliya is survived by his two daughters, aged four and eight. The two girls were in London at the time of the crash. In Wellingborough, an English town 65 miles from London, mayor Raj Mishra condoled the death of Raxa Modha, 55, who accompanied her husband Kishor to India. 'Kishor wanted to be in his hometown in his final days. He died on April 26, and Raxa, along with her daughter-in-law and grandson, was returning to UK,' a person aware of the matter said. The Muslim Community in Gloucester paid tributes to Akeel Nanabawa, who along with his wife and four-year-old child, were killed in the crash. The Indian High Commission in London has been receiving several queries from family members and relatives of those affected regarding visas to India. 'We are facilitating it all at the high commission,' said an official.

Air India plane crash: Is seat 11A safest on plane? Not really, experts say
Representative image LONDON: The survival of a passenger who escaped through an exit door seconds after his Air India flight crashed killing everyone else on board has prompted speculation over whether his seat, 11A, is the safest. Aviation experts say it is not so straightforward because aircraft vary widely in seat configurations, crashes are unique and survival often hinges on a complex interplay of factors. "Each accident is different, and it is impossible to predict survivability based on seat location," said Mitchell Fox, a director at Flight Safety Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit. Viswashkumar Ramesh said his 11A seat was near an emergency exit on the London-bound Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner that crashed in Ahmedabad on Thursday and he managed to walk out. Sitting next to an exit door might help you survive an accident but it won't always be 11A because aircraft can have dozens of different configurations. "In this particular instance, because the passenger was sitting adjacent to the emergency exit, this was obviously the safest seat on the day," said Ron Bartsch, Chairman at Sydney-based AvLaw Aviation Consulting. "But it's not always 11A, it's just 11A on this configuration of the Boeing 787." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo A 2007 Popular Mechanics study of crashes since 1971 found that passengers towards the back of the plane had better survival odds. Some experts suggest the wing section offers more stability. Sitting next to an exit door, like Ramesh, gives you an opportunity to be one of the first out of the plane, although some exits don't function after a crash. The opposite side of the plane was blocked by the wall of a building it crashed into, he said. In January of last year, a panel missing several bolts blew off the side of a Boeing 737 MAX mid-flight, creating a gaping hole and damaging the adjacent seat. Fortunately, no one was seated there at the time, and the incident resulted in no fatalities. Sitting by the aisle might offer you a speedier escape, but it increases the likelihood of being hit in the head by luggage falling out of the overhead bins - a much more common occurrence than major crashes. Paying attention to the safety briefing at the start of your flight is likely the best way to improve your chances of survival, experts say. Disciplined compliance with cabin crew evacuation advice was a key factor in saving the lives of all 379 passengers and crew aboard a Japan Airlines flight in January last year. REUTERS

Flooded with applications, BMC to add extra division in 7 CBSE public schools
MUMBAI: Taking into consideration the increasing number of applications from parents, the BMC has announced the addition of one extra division in seven of its Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools across the city. This move will create 280 new seats and help address the growing demand for quality education in BMC-run institutions. According to officials, the civic body received 2,452 applications for its 1,200 available seats in 21 schools that follow the CBSE, ICSE, and IB curricula. Among these, the Mumbai Public School in Poonam Nagar, Jogeshwari East—the first BMC school to introduce the CBSE curriculum in 2020—received the highest number of applications. The school saw 236 applications for its 68 seats for the 2025-26 academic year. 'Considering the high demand from parents, we assessed the feasibility of expanding divisions, and identified seven schools where we could start an additional division,' said Prachi Jambhekar, deputy municipal commissioner (Education). The BMC will start the extra division with a capacity of 40 students from nursery onwards from the coming academic year. The seven schools are MPS Chikuwadi, Borivali which received 168 applications for 68 seats, MPS Rajawadi, Ghatkopar (155 applications), MPS Ajijbaug (187), MPS Hariyali Village (158), MPS Kane Nagar (85), MPS Malvani Township (52), MPS Bhavani Shankar (181). An education officer from the civic body noted that the popularity of the Poonam Nagar school was due to its status as the BMC's first CBSE school which has built strong credibility among parents. 'We have ensured excellent infrastructure, trained teachers, and the required academic support in all non-state board schools,' the officer added. Education officer Sujata Khare confirmed that the new divisions would benefit students currently on the waiting list. 'With the additional divisions, those students who couldn't get admission earlier will now have a chance,' she said.
