As per the Maharashtra state board of secondary and Higher secondary (MSBSHSE) official data exactly 10,764 pupils from the Mumbai divisional board managed to get more than 90 per cent in the SSC exam. Ayush Patil and his classmate Ojas Yadav, both students of Dadar’s Balmohan Vidyamandir breached the 99 percent barrier. Ojas scored 99.04 per cent precisely while Ayush Patil stands a few points ahead at 99.40 per cent surpassing everyone’s expectations.
Rupa Roy, principal of Balmohan Vidyamandir in a statement to Midday said that she was very apprehensive about the performance of students in the exams after two “terrible and weird” years education-wise. She said, “The results this year are better than what I expected. The period was full of anxiety and fear, I was apprehensive about how well we would do. In our school 27 students scored above 90 per cent, two of whom scored above 99 per cent. Overall the results are good this year.”
