Resilience Shines: Overcoming Illness for Exam Success

Students have demonstrated extraordinary resilience by overcoming significant health challenges to excel in their class 10 board examinations. Aniket Bhattacharyya achieved an outstanding 99.4%, despite experiencing a fractured mandible in February 2025, followed by typhoid and a SARS-CoV-2 infection in April 2025, which necessitated extensive treatment. His family had even considered him skipping the exams due to his condition. Avishi Banerjee, a student at DPS Howrah, attained 86.2% following a stroke two years prior that left her right side paralyzed and impaired her speech and swallowing abilities. Through intensive therapy and rehabilitation, she regained mobility and speech, using a scribe for her exams due to time constraints. Aarav Bengani from Birla High School scored 86%, his determination unwavering despite managing lifelong health issues such as hydronephrosis, a heart defect, and intestinal obstruction. He expressed satisfaction with his score, emphasizing his resolve to take the test.
