Seventeen- year-old, Aakanksha Rai from GEMS Modern Academy, topped the Indian School Certificate (ISC) examinations in UAE, scoring the second highest marks globally with a cumulative score of 99.4 percent.
The Dubai student scored 100 in four subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science), and 97 in English. ISC is the equivalent of Grade 12 exams, and Aakanksha was a science stream student.
The Council for Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) declared the Indian Certificate for Secondary Examination (ICSE) Grade 10 and 12 results for the 2018 examinations on May 14 on its official websites - cisce.org and icse.org - on Monday afternoon.
Globally, ICSE results recorded a pass percentage of 98.5 per cent, while 96.21 per cent students cleared the ISC exam. Exams for Grade 10 (ISCE) were held between February 26 and March 28, while Grade 12 (ISC) exam took place between February 7 and April 2. Students who appeared in the exams can check their respective results both online and offline.
Several hundred students studying in GEMS Modern Academy, JSS International School, and Ambassador School attempted the examination.
An ecstatic Aakanksha told Khaleej Times, "I expected to do well, but not this level." The 17-year-old hopes to pursue her higher education in computer science at a top school in Singapore. She said: "When I first saw the results, I was in shock. I kept refreshing the page to check if it was true."
She added: "I've always been part of the top five ranks but this is the first time I'm topping globally."
