An early riser, Sanjana says she has already started preparing for her SATs.<br /><br />For Angad G, also from DPS South, a strict study regime of three-four hours at a stretch daily was the key to his success. “I worked really hard and it finally paid off. I will take up medicine as my profession.”<br /><br />Prerana Reddy, one of the 21 students of NPS, Koramangala, who scored a 10 CGPA, said, “I have been consistent throughout. Only 30 per cent of my board exam is taken into account, therefore my results were definitely expected. Nothing can replace hard work.” Prerana wants to take up science and become an engineer. <br /><br />“It’s amazing! I never expected a 10 CGPA – maybe a 9.8. My parents are over the moon,” said Sneh Jhunjhunwala, a student of Jain International Residential School. Sneh wants to take up commerce and is hoping to get a seat at JNU, Delhi.<br /></p>
