It was celebration time for B.R. Bhumika, who is one of the toppers in Karnataka in the SSLC exams by scoring 625 marks out of 625. The results were declared on May 19. But the result did not come as a surprise for Bhumika. “I expected to top the exams,” she told The Hindu.
Bhumika, coming from rural background, is a student of Government High School at Yelanadu in Chikkanayakanahalli taluk in Tumakuru district. Besides hard work, Bhumika attributed her academic success to her parents and teachers.
“My parents and teachers encouraged me to prepare well and asked me not to worry about the rank,” she said.
