Interacting with TOI, topper Jitesh Bhasin said, “Two hours of self-study besides regular classes and private tuitions helped me achieve this feat. I had never thought I would ace the exams, but my parents had faith in my abilities. Their support and guidance showed me the way to success.”

A strong grasp of both will help me qualify the IAS examinations,” she said.
Having come third with 483 marks, Anshul Tandon – a commerce student – wants to gain admission to a college affiliated to Delhi University and earn a bachelors’ degree. “Later on, I want to join a reputed business school and earn an MBA that will help me climb the corporate ladder,” he said.
