Srishti Sharma of Panchkula scores 100% marks in Class X, tops district
Written by Serena Gujral This date, May 13, 2025, will be etched in the heart and mind of Srishti Sharma, a student of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Sector 15, Panchkula, who has secured 100 per cent marks in the CBSE Class X Board Examination. The district topper is beaming with joy, and still can't quite believe her perfect performance. 'I met my class teacher at the school in the morning, and I was so scared that I wanted to run away,' smiles the topper, daughter of Rajeev Sharma, an employee with CITCO. What followed was her teacher's joyous cheer that she had scored a perfect score, and a round of hugs and happy tears. Despite being a high-achieving all-rounder, Srishti was anxious, never expecting to top. Her only goal was to give it her best shot,which she did. Preparing for her subjects, she made sure to cover her school books thoroughly and not take anything lightly. 'I did not attend any tuition classes. What worked for me was self-study with the guidance of my teachers. I understood that it is important to cover every part of the syllabus, down to the last word.' She didn't follow a strict timetable but instead went with the flow, studying nearly 20 hours a day during her pre-board study leave. Studying, for her, is not just a schoolwork requirement but a passion, or even a hobby, like an art. Her artwork, however, had to take a backseat during preparation time. Her advice to the upcoming batch is simple yet powerful: 'Give it your best, don't stress too much, believe in God, and learn to manage your time well.' She recommends using a planner or to-do list to ensure the goals one sets get done, giving adequate time to each subject, and never neglecting any of the less important ones. She emphasised the importance of covering NCERT thoroughly, making notes, doing the activities, and reading even the smallest details. While she acknowledges that pressure from parents and teachers can be intense, she believes it comes from a place of love and a desire to see their children succeed. Her dream is to study engineering at IIT, Bombay, explore the world, and never stop learning. Srishti plans to celebrate her achievement for the next 2-3 days, before focusing once more on her Class XI studies, because she doesn't want to lose sight of the bigger picture. 'It is important to stay focused in life and have goals, as they motivate you to be even better,' exclaims Srishti with a smile. A close second from Panchkula is Yashasvi Bhav, a Class X student of Hansarj Public School, Sector 6, scoring 499 out of 500 marks — 99.8 per cent. A consistent and goal-oriented outlook makes Yashasvi a winner. Amisha Prakash, a Class X student at Delhi Public School, Sector 40, Chandigarh, also made her school and family proud with 99.8 per cent marks. Her father Dheeraj Prakash is a general manager with Maruti Suzuki, and her mother Priyanka is a homemaker. Amisha says unit tests prepared her for the boards and has also been attending FIITJEE classes. She wants to be a computer science engineer. Painting and playing badminton are her stress busters.

Class 10 CBSE results: Srishti from Panchkula nails a perfect 100%
Right after her 16th birthday celebrations on Monday, Srishti Sharma had even more reason to celebrate on Tuesday as she scored an impressive 100% in the CBSE Class 10 exams. A student of Bhavan Vidyalaya in Sector 15, Panchkula, Srishti lost one mark in the social science subject.

'I already knew where I had gone wrong. It was a multiple-choice question and I made a silly mistake. I was bawling after returning home,' she said. Interestingly, she had opted for Punjabi as the optional third language. While many students don't study too hard for the third language, as they just need to clear it, she studied Punjabi avidly and got full marks in it. Srishti said she did not take any tuitions and her success was the result of self-study, dedicating an astounding 17 to 18 hours a day, and her teachers' efforts. School principal Gulshan Kaur was all praises for the student. Her father, Rajiv Sharma, works with CITCO in Chandigarh and her mother, Aasha Sharma, is a housewife. She has now opted for non-medical, with plans to pursue computer science engineering from IIT Bombay. Two students from the tricity — Amisha Parkash of Delhi Public School, Sector 40, Chandigarh, and Yashasvi Bhav of Hansraj Public School, Sector 6, Panchkula — secured a remarkable 99.8%. Gurnoor Singh of St Joseph's Senior Secondary School, Sector 44, achieved 99.6%. His father, Wattandeep Singh, is a manager at Cheema Broilers in Mohali and mother Deepika Kamboj is a housewife. In Mohali, Harshvir Singh of Shemrock Senior Secondary School, Sector 69, also bagged 99.6%.
