The Topper’s Flight
He dreams of being an aerospace engineer, and has already taken a pretty high flight by securing the All India Rank 1 in CBSE Class X Board Examinations 2021-22. Here’s what Mayank Yadav has to say about his journey to become a topper and to those who want to be above the clouds.
The big moment: Words cannot do justice to how proud and happy I feel. Honestly, I was expecting a good score, but what I saw when my results were declared was surreal. I am flabbergasted to see the score of 500/500.
Alma mat(t)er: I have been in AIS Noida since nursery and I believe that all I am today is because of my school and the way it has shaped my overall personality. I am extremely thankful and grateful to my teachers and principal who have relentlessly supported me during the stressful times of the pandemic and Class X boards. I have managed to succeed only because of the constant guidance from my school and teachers, and above all, the love and blessings from Chairperson ma’am.
Familial ties: You can only achieve such a feat when you have a strong and a contant support system. I attribute my success to my parents, sister, friends, and family, for always being there for me and believing in me.
Success mantra: Sincerity, consistency and hard work
Tips to top: Believe in yourself and do not surrender to stress. Always remember, how you plan and attempt the paper is just as important as how well you study for it. Believe in the process and keep your vision clear. Most importantly, stay true to yourself and work towards your goal with unwavering determination and focus.
Looking forward: I want to pursue a career in AI or Aerospace Engineering.

Genes And Genius
“Mom! I topped the board exam.” “Big deal! I did that too.” Now, you don’t want to be experiencing that conversation. But that is the reality for Yuvakshi Vig of AIS Noida, who clinched AIR 1 in CBSE Class XII Board Examinations 2021-22. Genius sure seems to be running in her genes, for her mother too happens to be a CBSE topper in her time. Here’s what she told us about exams, ambitions, and life during the conversation.
The big moment: The news was definitely an extremely happy surprise for my family. I am still taking in all the elation in bits and pieces; I am enjoying the nectar of success drop by drop. My mom had just reached home when my school gave her the news. I was in fact studying for college entrances when the phone started ringing. Unaware of what all is happening, I was highly unwilling to be disturbed while studying. So, it was only when my father called me that I got to know about the result. I took a moment’s time to believe in the reality.
Alma mat(t)er: I have been studying in Amity since Class VIII, and have evolved both socially and academically. All thanks to my wonderful teachers who developed the love of humanities in me. Without the undying support of my school and the principal ma’am, this victory would have been impossible. I am also heartily grateful towards Chairperson ma’am for constantly inspiring us with motivating anecdotes.
Familial ties: I believe that inheritance is at play in this result. But I don’t think I can thank my parents enough for being my primary support system and helping me synergise academics and life.
Success mantra: Consistency, good listening skills, attentiveness, and daily study rhythm.
Tips to top: Start following what your teachers say. Also, listen to your heart, study what you love and strive to excel in the same.
Looking forward: I want to pursue psychology.
