<div>Chayashree Venugopal from MES PU College scored 594 to top the state in the Commerce stream. She shares the position with two others - Sahana Kulkarni (Vijayapura) and Deeksha Nayak of Bengaluru. <br /><br />Both Chayashree and Nayak have secured centums in all the core subjects they studied - accountancy, business studies, basic mathematics and statistics.<br /><br />Nayak, a student of Sri Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain College, VV Puram, Bengaluru, said that she was able to score well thanks to her punctuality. Her father works in a book shop, while her mother is a homemaker. <br /><br />Tania Martha Thomas from Christ PU College, who is the second topper in the Arts stream, had secured a 95% in ICSE Class 10 exam. She chose to pursue arts, though her relatives tried convincing her against it. <br /><br />“My parents were supportive. They let me do what I wanted. There was no point in doing something I was not passionate about and hence, I took up arts,” she said. She has secured 588 marks. Tania aspires to write the civil services exam. <br /><br />Having seen many in her close circle battle depression and stress, Anushree B G decided to do something about it and took up Arts with Psychology as one of the subjects. <br /><br />She is the third topper for Arts with a score of 578. Having studied History, Economics, Psychology and Sociology in PU, she wishes to study Psychology in her graduation too. <br /><br />“There is so much theory in Arts and no practicals. One tends to forget everything that they have studied easily. Hence, revisions play an important role in preparations,” she added. <br /><br />Rakshitha Thaman, the state topper in science, is a student of VVS Sardar Patel PU College, Basaveshwaranagar. She has scored a centum in all the core subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Electronics). In English, she scored 97 and 99 in Sanskrit. <br /><br />This topper did not have a fixed study schedule and chose to take all the tests and exams in her college seriously. She was also preparing for IIT, JEE at BASE. <br /></div>
