Ranchi, June 22: Ranchi’s Avni Kejriwal has emerged as a symbol of perseverance and self-belief after securing a perfect score of 500 out of 500 in the CBSE Class XII examination following the board’s re-evaluation process.
The remarkable achievement has elevated the Delhi Public School (DPS), Ranchi student to the position of India Topper.
When the CBSE Class XII results were initially declared on May 13, Avni, a Commerce stream student, was awarded 94 per cent marks. While the result was impressive, she remained convinced that her performance in the examination deserved a higher score. Trusting her preparation and performance, she applied for mark verification and re-evaluation under the board’s post-result review mechanism.
The Central Board of Secondary Education recently released the results of the verification and re-evaluation process. Following a detailed reassessment of her answer scripts, Avni’s score witnessed a dramatic rise, reaching a flawless 100 per cent. With no marks deducted in any subject, she secured a perfect 500 out of 500, placing her among the highest achievers in the country.
The re-evaluation process was conducted in two stages. Students were first allowed to obtain scanned copies of their answer sheets before applying for verification of marks and re-evaluation. The revised system was introduced amid concerns raised over the board’s digital evaluation process.
Congratulating the student, DPS Ranchi Principal Dr. Jaya Chouhan described the achievement as a moment of immense pride for the entire school community.
“Avni’s extraordinary accomplishment reflects her dedication, academic excellence and unwavering determination. She has set an inspiring example for students across the country,” she said.
Avni’s success story stands as a powerful reminder that confidence in one’s hard work, coupled with perseverance, can transform expectations into historic achievements. Her perfect score has brought national recognition to both Jharkhand and DPS Ranchi, inspiring countless students to pursue excellence with conviction.
