Patna: May 30, 2007
Once again proving that Bihar boys were way ahead of their counterparts in other parts of the country when it came to cracking any exam – be it the Class X CBSE exam or the rigorous civil services tests, or a number of entrance tests, Patna's very own Manish Kumar was declared the topper in the CBSE Class X exams in the entire nation with a whopping aggregate of 99.4%.
A student of Gyan Niketan school in Patna, Manish earned 100% in Science and Social Science while also getting 99% in Math, Information Technology, and Sanskrit, the principal of the school D. K. Mukherjee said.
Son of Sanjay Kumar and Sunita Kumari, a postal employee and a homemaker respectively with a modest home in Ashok Nagar, Manish is already eyeing to crack the IIT entrance test and get himself admitted into the nation's most elite engineering school after completing his Intermediate, family members said.
Prashant Suman, Robin Kumar, and Rajiv Ranjan, also of Gyan Niketan, made their teachers, parents, and state proud by earning 98.4%, 98.2%, and 98.2% each, the principal said.
"We knew he would do exceptionally well in the CBSE exam but we had never imagined he would emerge as the topper in the entire country," Manish's father told the media.
