CBSE class X result 2026: Gurgaon, Pune, Bangalore students shine with strong academic performance

As the CBSE Class 10 results for the academic year 2025–26 are declared, strong performances across multiple campuses in Gurgaon, Pune and Bangalore are drawing attention not just for high scores, but for the learning approaches behind them.

Across these campuses, a total of 193 students appeared for the examinations, with 77 perfect scores of 100 recorded across subjects. Overall, 86% of students scored 80% and above, pointing to consistent academic outcomes across locations.

While the numbers stand out, what is equally notable is a pattern in how students approached their preparation, with a clear shift towards structured routines, conceptual clarity, and active learning.

These results were recorded across the campuses of The Knowledge Habitat.

Campus toppers announced
The top performers from each campus reflect both academic excellence and disciplined preparation. In Gurgaon, Vartika Jain secured 99.6%, followed by Aarna Gupta (99.2%) and Kenisha Singh (98.8%). Meanwhile, Pune saw strong performances from Vidit Dhal (98.4%), Shreesh Sachin Karlekar (98%), Kritika Sharma (98%), Aanya Singh (98%), and Aradhya Ojha (97.8%). In Bengaluru, Abhinav Muni (98.6%), Manotej B L (96.8%), and Hannah Susan Deleep (96.2%) led the results.

Preparation strategy: Consistency over cramming
A clear trend among toppers this year is the move away from last-minute preparation towards more consistent and structured study routines.

Instead of relying on short bursts of intensive study, students followed daily schedules that allowed for gradual learning and regular revision. This approach helped reinforce concepts over time while also reducing exam-related stress.

Practice remained an essential part of preparation, but it was not limited to repetition. Students focused on analysing their mistakes, identifying weak areas, and improving accuracy through timed practice. This combination of consistency and reflection played a key role in improving both confidence and performance during exams.

Learning approach: Conceptual clarity and active engagement

With CBSE exams increasingly focusing on application-based questions, students who prioritised understanding over memorisation were better equipped to handle unfamiliar problems.

Many toppers revisited complex topics multiple times, strengthened their fundamentals, and worked on applying concepts across different question formats. This not only improved retention but also made learning more adaptable.

Active engagement also emerged as a defining factor. Students regularly asked questions, clarified doubts, and participated in discussions, both in classrooms and during self-study. Educators note that such involvement leads to deeper understanding and more independent thinking.

This shift is also reflected in structured learning frameworks such as the QAMITA approach at The Knowledge Habitat, a framework focused on questioning, analysis, and application-based learning. It encourages students to break down concepts, examine them from multiple angles, and connect them to real-world contexts rather than relying on rote methods.

By moving the focus from simply arriving at the right answer to understanding the process behind it, such approaches aim to build long-term problem-solving ability, critical thinking, and confidence in tackling unfamiliar questions.

A pattern behind performance
The results from Gurgaon, Pune and Bangalore point to a broader trend in student performance, where consistent effort, conceptual clarity, and active engagement are becoming key differentiators.

As learning patterns evolve, the ability to think critically, ask questions, and apply knowledge effectively is emerging as an important advantage alongside academic scores.
