Housefull of high scores
As a new chapter unfolds for Class XII students, the toppers step into the spotlight embodying discipline, resilience, and quiet determination. The GT celebrates their journeys, a timeless addition to Amity’s grand theatre of excellence.
Taking centre stage
The moment I saw my result, it felt like stepping into the spotlight after months of preparation backstage. I felt joy, relief, and gratitude towards the Almighty. This achievement was not just about marks; it was the result of discipline, patience, and trust in the process.
Rehearsals to reality
I maintained a study routine of nearly 10-11 hours every day. Balancing school, coaching, and self-study was possible because of the guidance of my teachers and parents. Despite a hectic schedule, I never felt too much pressure. The synchro programme, envisioned by the Chairperson ma’am, helped me save time, which I used for revision and strengthening concepts.
Cast of supporters
My parents, elder brother, and teachers were my biggest pillars of support. Whenever I felt stressed or doubtful, I talked it out with my family and teachers, and this helped me relax and regain confidence. My school principal, Ms. Meenu Kanwar, was accessible throughout. She paid heed to our smallest of problems and motivated us all the time.
Trusting the script
I strongly believe in trusting the process established by my school and teachers. Consistency and conceptual clarity are far more important than shortcuts.
Behind the curtain
The toughest challenge for me was avoiding distractions. At times, the pressure of maintaining an intense self-study schedule felt difficult, but the constant encouragement from my parents and teachers helped me stay motivated and disciplined.
Act 2 begins
I aspire to get into one of the top engineering colleges in India. I want to contribute meaningfully to the nation. I also hope to become an empathetic person and work for humanity.

My message to juniors is simple: stay regular, trust yourself, and remain consistent. Hard work and determination combined with the right attitude can help anyone achieve success.

Taking centre stage
When I first saw my result, I was genuinely surprised. I had hoped to do well, but the score exceeded my expectations. That surprise turned into happiness.
Rehearsals to reality
I believe solving sample papers regularly and maintaining a daily checklist played the biggest role in my success. I divided my time subject-wise, took short breaks to stay refreshed, and mentally recapped my progress at the end of each day. To de-stress, I often went on walks as it helped me get fresh air between study sessions. Friends or music always kept me company on these walks.
Cast of supporters
My parents, teachers, and school supported me. My mother has been my biggest source of encouragement, while my teachers and coordinators were always ready to guide me whenever I needed help. I am especially grateful to Chairperson ma’am, my school principal, CBSE teachers, and the Synchro programme for helping me balance both board and JEE preparation.
Trusting the script
I think students should first understand the purpose and pattern of the exam they are preparing for. Board exams focus more on explanation and presentation, while competitive exams may require speed and accuracy.
Behind the curtain
One of my biggest challenges was completing the paper on time while still leaving enough time for revision. I overcame this by practising concise answer-writing and improving my time management through regular practice.
Act 2 begins
I am currently preparing for JEE Advanced 2026 and aspire to pursue B. Tech from a prestigious IIT.
Own the stage
My advice to juniors is to study consistently throughout the year instead of relying on last-minute preparation. Focus on understanding concepts, solve as many sample papers as possible, and learn something new from each one. Time management and practice make a difference.
