The year gone by has been difficult for school children, and more so for those who were appearing for their Board examinations that are the benchmark for subject selection and higher studies.

UdaipurTimes spoke to Tahira Hussaini Kutub, who hails from Udaipur and is presently studying in Bangalore. Tahira scored a perfect 100 in Mathematics and Science in the Class 10 Board examinations, and scored an overall 98.6%.

"I had prepared for 2 months for my Term 1 exams secured the highest score in my PreBoards as well. For Term 2, I prepared for over 4 months, and attempted another 2 PreBoards, maintaining 100% in Maths in both the internal tests and the highest score in Science. I have opted for Biology in Senior School (PCB), and aspire to enter the medical field, as it is my dream to be a Doctor." - Tahira Kutub, Udaipur (Bangalore)

Tahira is studying in Deens Academy, Bangalore and lives in Whitefield, Bangalore. Tahira's parents, Hussaini and Nishat Kutub work in Bangalore.
