Post-reval, BVM Ashti’s Saksham 2nd city topper

Nagpur: CBSE’s paper evaluation goof-ups continue to make an impact in the city’s top three rankings. Post re-evaluation, Std X student Saksham Chawala from Bhavan’s BP Vidya Mandir (BVM), Ashti, has emerged as joint second city topper with a score 99.2%.
Chawala now shares the second spot in the city with Aadya Pande from Modern School. Their common score is just behind Ojas Khamele (99.4%) and a step ahead of Vinil Mokhade (99%), both of whom are from BVM Trimurti Nagar. This puts BVM students in all top three spots for Std X.
Saksham’s score in Hindi inched up to 99 after re-evaluation, up from his earlier 97. It was his principal Vandana Bisen who urged him to apply for re-evaluation for Hindi, and that worked in Saksham’s favour. “I had worked very hard for Hindi. In fact in my school prelims, I had a full score in theory and so, even my parents felt that I must apply for re-evaluation,” said Saksham. His mother is a lecturer while father is a businessman.
Saksham will be pursuing science in Std XI from CBSE board itself and preparing to crack the JEE in 2022.
