Srinagar- The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education on Thursday announced results of annual exams of 12th standard with an overall pass percentage of 74 percent.
Girls once again outperformed boys with a pass percentage of 77 percent, compared to the pass rate of 72 percent for boys.
The top three positions across all streams – Arts, Commerce, Science, and Home Science – were secured by female students, the officials stated.
Anushah Gul, a student at Green Valley Educational Institute, clinched the top spot overall. Hailing from the Zakura area on the outskirts of the city, Gul pursued Commerce and attained a score of 498 marks in the 12th board exam.
Speaking to Kashmir Observer, Gul expressed contentment with her result.
“Obviously, I am very happy. I have worked very hard and the results have shown that,” she said.
Gul attributed her success to her parents, teachers, and her own diligence.
Sharing her success mantra, Gul said there was no alternative to hard work and dedication.
“You have to work hard and it will never disappoint. You have to give your 100 per cent and will get 200 per cent back. You have to be devoted and dedicated,” she added.
Anushah aspires to become a Chartered Accountant, and said, “I don’t want to become a doctor or an engineer. Becoming a CA is not easy, but I enjoy challenges and will direct all my energy towards my goal”
Wafa Feroz Kadla of Green Valley Educational Institute Ellahibagh Srinagar also secured 498 marks, followed by Aida Omar with 493 marks.
The science stream saw Adeeba Saleem Govt Girls Higher Secondary School Nowhatta leading the pack. She secured 494 marks out of 500. “I worked hard and I expected good results,” Adeeba said. She attributed her success to the support of her teachers and the effectiveness of the test series she attended.
“I was consistent and my parents were supportive, I am thankful for that, my teachers also helped me a lot.”
Aamina Rashid of Govt Higher Secondary School Chadoora and Aisha Riyaz of Govt Girls Higher Secondary School Khanyar Srinagar both earned 493 marks, securing 2nd position in the Science stream.
“I scored similar marks in past years as well. One needs to study from the beginning. Studying only after the exam date sheet is announced is completely wrong and not the right thing to do,” Aisha said.
