With a score of 99.4 and an AIR 3, Sanmay Shah, the topper of the Bombay Scottish School, Mahim said, "It's all about commitment and consistency. I have consistently studied for three to four hours a day this past year. It's not necessary to study for 7-8 hours a day in order to achieve good scores. All that is required is dedication. I would like to thank all of my teachers and our principal ma'am for supporting us all during this difficult time and believing in me.”

Another student, Trisha Bafna, AIR 3, from Children’s Academy scored 99.4% and said that she started her preparation early on though she spent only 3 hours studying on a daily basis. “I found Hindi and Geography to be the hardest subjects with the latter having many out of syllabus questions,” added Trisha Bafna who stated that she didn’t do anything differently with her daily schedule as she watched TV and went to play whenever she could while dedicating separate time for studies. “I believe that consistency is greater than hard work, which is greater than intelligence. So just be consistent, and study in however much time you get, that’s extremely important," Trisha added.

ICSE Mumbai school toppers express gratitude towards schools

Purunjay Karwa, from Vibgyor School, Goregaon West stated that he faced no particular challenges and spent two hours on a daily basis for studies. “I mostly solved papers which were prelim papers of other schools because this pattern was new and I also received immense support from my school which helped,” added Purunjay who advised students to be themselves, and be happy while studying as much as they want.

“Congratulating the students on their outstanding performance,” Kavita Sahay Kerawalla, Vice Chairperson, VIBGYOR Group of Schools, said, "The previous year was challenging for everyone, especially for the students, as they struggled to get re-acclimated to offline classrooms and exams, but they put their best foot forward and did an excellent job. Board exams are not only a test for the students, but also a test of the commitment of teachers, parents, and the school towards the academic development of the child,” added Kavita Kerawalla.

Anmol Bohra, topper of Shishuvan School, Matunga, who scored 99.2% said, "I am very happy and satisfied with my performance. It was challenging to cope up with objective as well as subjective examination. However with the support of school and blessings of my teachers, grandparents, and parents, I could do well. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all who contributed to my success. "

Bushra Khan, Diamond Jubilee High School Mumbai who topped with 98% in her school said, "Consistency is defiantly one of any secrets to success. Only a few months before the examination I realised how important it was to constantly revise concepts on a regular basis so that before the examination I don’t have to go over the whole concept as if it's new to me. I prepared for two board exams each having only half of the total syllabus. The very basic step is to revise the concepts taught in class once we get home. A month or two before any exam I would create a timetable allotting each day 2-3 specific contents to learn/revise. I made sure I only set goals that I could achieve on that day. I am looking forward to getting involved in the Medical field."

Chandnani Suresh Raina, from St Anne's School who scored 98.2% said, "I feel deeply blessed to have an amazingly supportive family and school that has helped me achieve unimaginable heights in my academic life."

Vrushtee Gaikwad topper of Sadhu Vaswani International School, Sanpada who secured 99.2%, said, "During these times, when covid has brought about so many changes in the pattern of exams it was really difficult to cope up. The only way was to push yourself each day in the hope of betterment of the covid situation. Not sacrificing my hobbies, and the time dedicated to recreational activities, I studied consistently to achieve this goal. My parents , teachers and all the close ones who were supportive in this journey are the reason of this success.

Several other Mumbai schools saw students performing well, with Vidhee Anand from Ryan International School, Malad, scoring 99.2%. “I would like to extend my heartiest gratitude to our honourable Chairman Sir Dr.AF Pinto, managing director Madam Dr. Grace Pinto, HM Ms. Varsha Kumta, teachers, and my parents for their continuous support which helped me ace my ICSE Board Exams with an excellent score of 99.2%. Time management, dedication, and disciplined study schedules along with breaks helped me to smoothly prepare for my exams,” said Vidhee.

Appreciating the guidance of their Management and support of the parent community Mrs.Varsha Kumta, School Head, Ryan International School, Malad-ICSE also congratulated the students. “Even through the challenging times of the pandemic, we endeavoured to ensure that our students did not suffer from any break in education. We couldn’t have done it without the guidance from our Management and the support of our parent community. Congratulations to all our students and their proud parents,” Mrs. Varsha said.
