In a remarkable display of academic excellence, girls outshone boys in the Bihar School Examination Board’s intermediate results, released recently. Notably, Nishi Sinha from Patna clinched the second position in the Arts stream, securing an impressive 94.6% or 473 marks. This achievement was especially significant as both the first and second toppers are students of the Patna College of Commerce, highlighting the institution’s stellar performance in the Arts stream.

Nishi’s joy knew no bounds as she learned of her success on the day of Holi, making the festival even more special for her and her family. Amidst anticipation and repeated checks on the TV for the announcement, the moment her name was broadcasted, disbelief turned into overwhelming joy. Her parents were moved to tears, proud of her achievement. Nishi credits her success to the support from her college teachers, diligent self-study, and efficient use of online resources, emphasizing that there was no fixed study schedule but a consistent revision whenever possible.

Her love for Political Science and dream of becoming an IAS officer are now stronger than ever. Nishi is now aiming for admission to Delhi University, followed by preparation for the civil services examination. She believes in smart work before hard work and encourages fellow students to study regularly, maintain continuity, and never doubt their capabilities.

The moment of success brought tears of joy to her parents, with her mother expressing profound emotion during an interaction. The excitement was palpable in the household as Nishi and her sister sat in front of the TV and laptop, eagerly awaiting the results. Nishi’s loud exclamation upon seeing her rank startled everyone, but it quickly turned into a moment of pride and happiness, especially for her father, a retired junior engineer from the Irrigation Department, and her mother, a homemaker. The family’s pride in their daughters, equating them to sons in every aspect, reflects a progressive mindset and celebration of their achievements.
