Small-town boy from Karnataka achieves never seen before result; scores 100 % marks!

Small-town boy from Karnataka achieves never seen before result; scores 100 % marks!Small-town boy from Karnataka achieves never seen before result; scores 100 % marks!

Ranjan BS scored a mind-boggling 625/625 in his exams, without the help of tuitions and coaching!

The Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) exams of 2016, conducted by the Karnataka State Secondary Examination Board, weren’t a smooth ride, and the paper-leak scams and the multiple re-examinations certainly took a toll on the students.

But when the results were announced a few days ago, the unexpected happened. Ranjan BS, a boy from the small industrial town of Bhadravathi in Shivamogga district, in Karnataka scored a mind-boggling 625/625 in his exams, a feat that has never been achieved before! Bhadravathi, which is home to a paper mill and an iron-and-steel factory, is 270 km west of Bengaluru.

Ranjan, who has been a student at the Poorna Prajna high school since childhood, worked extremely hard towards his success. However, he was delighted and surprised when the results came out, as he was himself expecting only around 600 marks. .

How he cracked it!

“I studied one subject for six hours daily. I studied till I was thorough in every aspect of all the chapters. I didn’t go for tuitions or refer to guides. I solved question papers of previous years, so it supplemented what I studied,” he told Times of India.

He was a persistent student in his school, and also excelled in co-curricular activities such as debating, quizzing, throw ball and cricket. Inspired by all the cricket that he watched, he planned his study schedule like that of a cricketer before a match.

Also, unlike most of his friends, he preferred not to discuss the paper after the completion of the exams.

“All my friends would discuss the question papers. I never did that. I thought I may have made some mistakes, but realized there was no point in talking about it after I had walked out of the examination hall,” he said to Times of India.

His parents never forced him into studying more during exams, and constantly supported him. His teachers played an important role too and weren’t shy to heap praise on their star student.

Ranjan, after his success in the SSLC, is now more driven than ever to achieve excellence in the field of medicine.

Not surprisingly, his achievement evoked a great response from everyone around; family and friends, high ranked officials, all flocked to his house to congratulate him. Social media users weren’t left behind in congratulating him too, with many people sending congratulatory messages to him on Facebook.

The overall performance of students in SSLC was good as well. Seven students scored 624, for a joint second place, while 8 scored 623, which are also highly commendable scores. The overall pass percentage was 79.16%. Although there has been a 2% dip compared to last year, the quality of the examinations conducted has improved.

There is no doubt that the Bhadravati lad Ranjan will be a source of inspiration for many SSLC students in the future!
