CBSE class 10 results: My aim is AIIMS, says Delhi topper with 498 marks
NEW DELHI: Shivika Dudani, who has scored 498 marks out of 500 making her the topper in the CBSE Delhi region, has ‘no regrets’ about losing the pan-India number one position, but regrets a ‘silly mistake’ she made in the Mathematics exam paper.
“I did not expect to perform this well. I lost one mark in Maths and one in Hindi. In Maths, I made a silly mistake (wherein) I had to calculate the value of sine theta. There were two answers and I gave only one,” she told this newspaper.
The 15-year-old student of Amity International in Pushp Vihar says she has a dream to get admission to All India Institute of Medical Sciences to pursue medicine in order to help others.
“I want to become a doctor because I like the Biology subject. I am interested in human science, curing people, etc. I feel I am a very helpful person by nature and that is another factor,” Shivika said, adding “My aim is AIIMS.”
