ICSE Class 10 Results: Shimla’s identical twins score near-identical marks get over 99% each

Shimla has seen twin success stories this year as identical sisters Avisha Syal and Sirisha Syal from Auckland House School for Girls topped the ICSE Class 10 examination. Avisha scored 99.4 per cent, while Sirisha followed closely with 99.2 per cent.

Speaking to PTI, the sisters shared their reaction soon after the results were announced. They said, “We’re really happy right now. All the credit goes to our parents, teachers and our school who guided us well. Staying curious and consistent and taking out time for outdoor games along with synergism worked for us.”

They said their preparation was steady rather than rigid. They did not follow a strict timetable but made sure to complete homework daily and revise lessons regularly. They also advised students preparing for board exams to stay sincere and keep working consistently.

Along with academics, both sisters were active in extracurricular activities. They were part of their school’s basketball and table tennis teams and also played the guitar. Despite their packed routine, they said they managed studies and activities together and plan to continue their higher studies in Shimla.

Avisha and Sirisha are daughters of Kartik Syal and Geetika Syal, both doctors. They now aim to become engineers, with a focus on physics and software engineering.
