Jaydeep Bose waited patiently for his Indian School Certificate (ISC) results, hoping his hard work would reflect in it. But a second position in the all India merit list was beyond the imagination of this student from Barrackpore’s Modern English School.
An elated Jaydeep says he had always been fond of Chemistry, and did not have any doubt about opting for the Science stream after passing the Indian Certificate for Secondary Examination (ICSE). Not only did he score 100 in his favourite subject, he also got full marks in Physics and Computer Science and 98 in Mathematics.
He bagged second spot nationally, with 99.25 per cent, while another Kolkata student, Kaushiki Dasgupta topped with 99.5 per cent.
Asked whether marks makes a difference in the long run, Jaydeep said, “No, it does, really. It doesn’t matter at all in future.”
Joydeep has cleared the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) mains and is aiming to crack the advanced examination, scheduled on May 20. He is also preparing for the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) admission test.
Principal of Modern English School, Kajal Lahiri, was over the moon. “We take admission for few students and therefore we are able to take care of every student individually. Jaydeep’s achievement has made us all very proud.”
