The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has announced the results for the Class 10 (matric) board examinations, with Sakshi Kumari, the daughter of a laborer, securing the top rank alongside two other students.
Speaking to ANI, Sakshi expressed her surprise at achieving the first rank, stating that she had hoped to be in the top 10 but never imagined securing the top position.
“I’ve just cleared my 10th standard, now I’ll clear my 12th and aim to achieve the highest positions. My father is a laborer. Right from the beginning, I had decided to study hard to be among the top ten, but I never imagined that I would secure the first rank,” she said.
Sakshi, along with Anshi Kumari and Ranjan Verma, jointly secured the first position with an impressive score of 489 out of 500, equating to 97.8 percent.
Another standout performer, Punit Kumar Singh, secured the second rank in the state. Studying in a government school, he emphasized the quality of education in such institutions and urged students to work hard and attend school regularly. He aspires to become an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer.
“We should always work hard. We should set our goals high and keep aiming higher. We should attend school daily, listen attentively to our teachers, and work hard. Government schools have very good teachers. I want to become an IAS officer,” he said.
A total of 123 students secured top 10 ranks this year, comprising 63 boys and 60 girls, showcasing a nearly equal representation of both genders among high achievers.
The results reflect the dedication of students across the state and mark another milestone for the Bihar board in conducting smooth and transparent examinations. Further details on the overall pass percentage, district-wise performance, and options for revaluation or further education will be available on the BSEB’s official website.
