73.20%: Hardik Manish Rathod
Rustomjee International School, Situation: Underwent major surgery

Hardik had to undergo major spine surgery in September last year, and since then he had taken complete bed rest for three to four months. Manish, Hardik’s father, said, “He wasn’t even allowed to sit after his surgery. He was in too much pain. It took him time to get back to his studies. He wanted to join the merchant navy, but due to his condition, he cannot do that. It was his dream. We thought this would dampen his mood. But he came back and appeared for the exam in March. The best part was he was never anxious or nervous.”
