'I wasn't expecting a rank within 1-10,' said Supratik Manna, from Kanthi Model School, who secured the fourth rank. His interest lies in hardware and computers, and he shared his focused approach to learning: 'I would study most of the time and whenever I got bored I would read articles related to hardware, computer etc. I had one private tutor in each subject.' Meanwhile, several students secured the sixth rank with 690 marks. Ankan Mondal, from Taki Ramakrishna Mission, is driven by a noble ambition. Hailing from a village with limited medical facilities, he said, 'I want to fulfill my father's dream of becoming a doctor. Because, there is no good doctor in our village. So, I want to become a doctor and serve the poor people of the village.' 'I didn't study according to any specific schedule. I studied whenever I wanted. However, to get good results, it is very important to study the syllabus thoroughly,' said Ankan. 'We are happy and want him to be whatever he wants. He studied on his own, without relying on private tuition. We just stood by him,' said his mother Asima Patra Mandal. Avradeep Mondal, of Sonarpur Sarada Vidyapith, another student who secured the sixth position, dreams of becoming a doctor. He balanced his studies with his love for chess and singing. 'I am very happy with the result. There was no specific study time during the day. However, I tried to study for at least 12 hours a day for a few months before the exams,' Avradeep said, acknowledging the support of his parents, teachers, and friends. Avantika Rai, who secured the eighth rank credits her mother's guidance for her success. Rai, who did not take tuitions in some subjects said, 'I never thought I will hold rank. I just studied because I love studying. I never studied more than 10 hours. My expectation was that I will score well but didn't think about the rank.' Anish Das from Prafullanagar Vidya Mandir in Habra secured the ninth position with 687 marks and envisions a future in engineering, dedicated to serving the state. Prajjwal Das, another student who stood ninth, is described by his mother, Mitali Das, as self-motivated. 'We never had to guide him. He always studied on his own. But sports are his favorite,' she shared. As he mentioned about his flexible study schedule and passion for cricket and drawing, Prajjwal said, 'I had no time limit for my studies. I used to study whenever I wanted to. Apart from that, I love and play cricket regularly.' Prajjwal's father, Pradyut Kumar Das, said, 'The boy has been talented since childhood. Not only us, but also the neighbours were optimistic that he would do well. Prajjwal has a dream of studying in IIT.'
