“The last days in school are memorable for us not only due to the emotions attached with it but also for being the first ones to write the examination under CCTV watch.

Animately discussing hits and misses, a group chatted away in a corner.

Anshika Rathore

, who scored 88.83% marks in class XII, said, “I missed a centum in English by 6 marks. My percentage would have gone up if I had got a little more in science.”

One group of class X students near the school’s administrative block celebrated success with sweets.
