She
scored 496 out of 500 with full marks in English Literature, Mathematics,
History-Civics, Geography, Physics, Biology and Computer Applications.
Daughter
of teacher-parents, an elated and composed Sohini, said, “I always thought of
grabbing a spot in a select band of merit holders, but never thought of becoming
one of the toppers in our state. I owe it to my parents, teachers, relatives
and friends who have been my support systems all through.”
Sohini
said she solved a lot of papers and that experience brought her success. She
has never been to any coaching class as she solved previous year’s question
papers consistently, which gave her confidence to fetch good results.
Her scores stood at 93 in English Language, 95 in Bengali, 98 in Chemistry and 100
each in English Literature, Mathematics, History and Civics, Geography,
Physics, Biology and Computer Applications.
In
West Bengal, 99.09 per cent of Class 10 students cleared the exam, while the
pass percentage was 97.58 per cent for Class 12 students. Total 37,258 students
from 382 ICSE schools took part in the ICSE examination, out of which 36,920
were successful. The CISCE said 25,058 students from 270 schools appeared in
the ISC examination, of whom 24,453 were successful.
However,
the board did not publish a merit list for the two exams because of the
exceptional circumstances that saw both the ISC and ICSE examinations results
being declared without pending examinations being held due to the coronavirus
pandemic.
Chief
Minister Mamata Banerjee congratulated the successful students.
“Congratulations
to the batch of 2020 ICSE and ISC students successful this year. May the trauma
you faced serve as a lesson for further success in your lives. Applaud teachers
and parents for bearing with the situation. Do well. May all your dreams come
true,” Banerjee tweeted.
While
speaking to Hummingbird News, Sohini said, “I
used to study for five to six hours every day and during the exam days, I never
used to put pressure on me. I always focused on my self-studies besides private
tuition.”
“I want to be an engineer in future because I love to read science. Beside my studies, I like to sing and read story books. I
hide my story books under my bookshelf because I really like to read story
books”, Sohini said.
Sohini’s father Susanta Halder, a teacher of Krishnagar
Collegiate School said, “She has been a diligent student and her success speaks
volumes of her sincerity and hard work”.
Her mother, Soma Halder, who is also a teacher of Aranghata Girls' High School,
said, “I am very happy and I congratulate all who have helped her a lot in
getting such a success in the exam”.
