KOLKATA: Srutarshi Tripathi, a student of Patha Bhavan, is the only rank-holder from Kolkata. Overall, the result of 2020 was better for Kolkata than that of 2022, a section of city school principals say. A slight dip in overall performance has been noticed by some of the well-known city schools like Ballygunge Siksha Sadan, Sakhawat Memorial and Jodhpur Park Boys.
Srutarshi was always a bright student. He and his family members and school had expected a good result but the fourth rank was beyond their expectation. “I have worked hard so I expected to get a position on the merit list but ranking fourth was beyond my expectation. I have started my Plus II preparations and have taken admission in a CBSE school. My dream is to be a scientist and work at Nasa,” Srutarshi said.
