CHAMPS OF THE MATCH

Navya Nagar, XII | AIS Vas 6
Score: 99.2% | Stream: Interdisciplinary

Moment of triumph
I had to check my score twice. Many students give up their hobbies when boards are nearing, but I literally danced my way through this period. Even during examinations, I continued with my dance classes; it was a stress buster.

Team effort
My parents have been proud of me no matter what. My teachers, too, were supportive. I did not require any outside coaching because of their constant guidance. Amity is an amazing institution because its goal is to build all-rounders.

Overcoming bouncers
Consistency was a challenge. I had to build discipline and motivation. I knew mathematics was not my strongest suit, so I had to put in extra effort in the subject. Positive affirmations came to my rescue each time.

Winning strategy
Keep away negative thoughts. Even when I wasn’t a 100% prepared, I used to joke, ‘I am going to get full scores’.Why would you say anything against your goal?

Future innings
I am not the most studious person, which may sound contradictory to my marksheet. It’s the entertainment industry where my heart lies. I want to explore what opportunities I can get in that field.

Abhigyaan Bora, X | AIS Noida
Score: 99.8%

Moment of triumph
Scoring 499 out of 500 was overwhelming to say the least. It felt like all my hard work had paid off.

Team effort
I attribute my success to a combination of consistent hard work and a strong support system. My mom helped me in science and my dad guided me in mathematics. The visionary leadership of our Chairperson, Dr (Mrs) Amita Chauhan ma’am, fosters a nurturing and motivating environment for all Amitians.

Overcoming bouncers
Being analytical by nature, I struggled with topics that required rote learning. To overcome this, I focused on understanding the concepts deeply and revising them regularly.

Winning strategy
My game plan was simple: I emphasised on regular study and made sure I was thorough with the NCERT textbooks. Instead of last-minute preparation, I stuck to a daily routine and revised regularly.

Future innings
Physics and analytical reasoning excite me. I hope to pursue engineering — preferably in Mechanical or Aeronautical Engineering — because these fields offer immense opportunities for innovation and building solutions.

Samaira Verma, XII | AIS Vas 1
Score: 99.2% | Stream: Humanities

Moment of triumph
My initial reaction was sheer disbelief. As it finally sank in, I laughed, I cried, I screamed while my  mother broke into tears of happiness.

Team effort
My mother has been my best friend, critic, and biggest cheerleader. Her belief in me lit up my darkest days, and my father always kept me on my toes. My teachers, too, played a pivotal role in guiding me.

Overcoming bouncers
I found my ray of light at home. Living with a playful seven-year-old sibling meant that every time I stepped out of my study zone, I was greeted with chaos — the good kind. And it became my unexpected therapy.

Winning strategy
I found my rhythm in studying for long, focused hours with short breaks in between. Belief in oneself and faith in God can lead to miracles.

Future innings
Looking back, the journey wasn’t just about marks or methods — it was about the place and the people who shaped me along the way. From participating in inter-school competitions to being the head girl, this school has nurtured my talent and shaped my character since nursery. I may pursue journalism and mass communication.

Tanvi Jain, XII | AIS Vas 6
Score: 99.2% | Stream: Commerce

Moment of triumph
I felt an immense mix of gratitude, relief, and quiet disbelief.

Team effort
Of course, this would not have been possible without the support of my teachers and parents. I would also give credit to my academically driven peers: Having shared goals kept us motivated throughout. And most importantly, I owe a part of it to myself for not giving up on difficult days.

Overcoming bouncers
There were times I questioned if I was doing enough. Learning to trust my own pace and process was a big turning point for me. My strategy was to prioritise the tougher subjects first.

Winning strategy
Instead of chasing marks, I chose to view studies as an opportunity to learn something meaningful. After that, exam preparation becomes far less stressful.

Future innings
I plan to pursue a career in commerce, possibly in finance or business leadership. But more than just a designation, I hope to build a life that is meaningful  — one where I continue learning, and use my knowledge to create impact.

Siya Makhija, XII | AIS Vas 6
Score: 99.2% | Stream: Interdisciplinary

Moment of triumph
My first reaction was to call my parents, and cry, before rushing to school to meet principal ma’am, my teachers, and my friends.

Team effort
I always had my circle of strength — my parents, my younger sister, and my teachers. I followed Founder sir’s philosophy of BHAAG and remained active in extracurricular activities.

Overcoming bouncers
Despite a strong track record, self-doubt hit me after a poor pre-board result in psychology — my dream

subject. But, I pushed through with diligence, eventually scoring a 100 in the subject. And my parents supported me with mindful breaks and a surprise birthday concert. I was already a winner in their eyes.

 Winning strategy
My parents have taught me that success begins with how we see ourselves. During lows, we must lift ourselves up and keep going.

Future innings
Many children struggle with speech and see it as a limitation in life. I want to pursue child and speech therapy and show them that it’s not the end — and that it can be overcome.
