Many pursued their hobbies, watched movies, remained relaxed and yet they were able excel in the examination
The climb to the top would have been impossible without the help of family, friends and teachers for many. Many have never burnt the midnight oil nor have their stress levels reached a feverish pitch. Some had even watched movies and pursued their hobbies even a month before the exams. Downtown brings to you stories about how some privileged few in Mylapore made it to the top.
Regular solving of question papers and a systematic study has made Shanaz Mohammadi Shariff of Rosary MHSS score as high as 1168 (topper in Computer Science stream) in the exam. Having scored above 196 in the core subjects Shanaz has all hopes of pursuing a career in Chemical engineering. “The subject has a lot of scope and if I do not get this I am sure of getting computer science,” said Shanaz. “Every I got the results of an examination held in my school I used to calculate my cut off for engineering. I strived to improve each time and moved ahead steadily. With the help of supportive teachers and encouraging parents (father Md. Najeebullah Shariff and mother Nasreen Najeeb) I have made to the top,” added Shanaz succinctly.
