Two much, too much
7 All India Rank Two Holders For CBSE X & XII - A Feat Only Seen At Amity!
Dancing to triumph
The dancer who writes and the writer who tops. That’s Suhani for you - an accomplished Kathak dancer, GT journo, and a CBSE topper!
Magic moment: The news felt surreal. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and checked twice to make sure that I had the correct registration number. Once confirmed, I rushed to share the news with my parents who were, of course, overjoyed.
Wizarding companions: I cannot thank Amity enough. The school provided us with ample online learning resources to allow for a seamless transition to remote schooling. The guidance of my teachers was so helpful. My family and friends were also crucial to my emotional as well as academic well-being.
Winning spell: Baby steps – study for few hours daily with some breaks, instead of spending long hours hunched over a desk, pondering over books.
‘Extra’ wand: Other than academics, I was engaged with GT as I was a member of the school Editorial Board. I also completed my 6th year degree examinations in Classical Kathak this year.
Alluring ambition: I am yet to decide on a career path for myself. Currently, I’m looking to pursue Economics, so let’s see!
Abracadabra: You needn’t be daunted by the prospect of ‘Boards’. It is simply a stepping stone in a series of examinations you have faced before, and many more that still await. Keep your cool, work hard without thinking about the result, and you will triumph.

Perfect passion
Ever met those kids who can’t rest till they have secured a cent percent? And will scratch their heads for the one mark they lost? Niamat is one of them, always striving for perfection to win!
Magic moment: My first reaction was ‘Where did I lose that one mark?’ That said, I am proud of my achievement, especially given the circumstances in which we appeared for these CBSE examinations.
Wizarding companions: My entire family, especially my grandmother, was there for me and helped me throughout the year. Arguably, however, the greatest credit must go to my other family - the Amity family.
Winning spell: Never bank on the next day, and be regular when it comes to education.
‘Extra’ wand: I was participating in Olympiads through the year, but I spaced them out well so that they did not hamper my studies. If anything, they were a good break that helped me relax and refresh my mind.
Alluring ambitions: I will be going into advanced studies and theoretical physics research. I wish to pursue Quantum Mechanics as well as GUTs (Grand Unified Theories) in particular.
Abracadabra: While a good grip on the subject in question and an extensive understanding of the syllabus is important, the same may not necessarily translate to marks in the Board Exams. Scoring well is an entirely different question. Just stay consistent, stay calm, work hard, and give things you attempt your best!

It happened for real
She cried along with her family after seeing her exam results. No, not because she had failed, but because she had topped. Read the story of her tears of joy!
Magic moment: Initially, I could not log in to see my results because of some technical issues. But my phone was constantly buzzing with congratulatory messages. So, by the time I actually saw it, I was already on the verge of tears. I cried for ten minutes straight before bursting into a euphoric “yayyyy!”
Wizarding companions: I attribute my success to my parents, especially to my mom, who has been my rock and has stuck by me through all times. My teachers also played a vital role. They answered all my queries, even in the middle of the night. Chairperson ma’am is also a huge motivating factor; I would always listen to her speeches sincerely because they would motivate me to do better.
Winning spell: Listen to your parents and teachers. Stay disciplined, focused, and study everyday.
‘Extra’ wand: I was a part of the student council and Youth Power team, and it has really shaped me into the person that I am today.
Alluring ambitions: My family is full of engineers and I wish to follow suit.
