Shillong schools shine in ICSE

Shillong, May 22 : Shillong students led the Northeast in the ICSE examinations with all five schools in the Meghalaya capital dishing out 100 per cent success in the results declared yesterday.

However, students in the region had to pass an agonising night as the they were able to get their full results only today because of an Internet failure all throughout the day yesterday.

All the five schools in Shillong affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate examinations, Pine-mount School, St Edmund’s School, Loreto School, Meghalaya Police Public School and Shillong Public School, had 100 per cent success rates.

Pinemount School also had 100 per cent results in ISC (Class XII) examination.

Arindam Chaudhuri of St Edmund’s School got the best percentage of marks from among all the students in the state who appeared in the ICSE examination but it was Meghna Chada Marak who was the topper among the tribal students in the ICSE examinations.

Meghna, incidentally, is the daughter of former deputy chief minister Debora C. Marak, and a student of Pinemount School. Meghna secured 90.66 per cent marks.

Candidates of Assam schools too did not fare badly.

From the Pinewood Residential School in Tinsukia, 17 candidates were successful with seven of them getting star marks (more than 75 per cent).

Topper Dixita Kakoty, who secured 84 per cent in the exams, said she had to spend some restless moments before she got the results.

The atmosphere at Sanskriti The Gurukul in Guwahati was of joy today following brilliant performance of students at the ICSE and ISC results declared yesterday.

In both results, the school scored 100 per cent pass percentage. It is the only ICSE affiliated school in Guwahati.

B.K. Bansal, a chartered accountant and resident of Silpukhuri, was very happy as her youngest daughter Saloni was the topper from the school in ICSE, with 94.8 per cent marks.

Tripura’s two schools, Holy Cross Higher Secondary School and St Paul’s Higher Secondary School, have also done fairly well in the ICSE and ISC exams.

Holy Cross achieved 100 per cent success in the ICSE exam with all its 129 candidates securing the pass percentage.

Anurima Baidya performed best in Tripura by securing 96.2 per cent marks. In the ISC exam too, Holy Cross maintained its 100 per cent success rate.

The success of St Paul’s School is not as bright as its rival but still it did fairly well. Of the 78 students who appeared for the ICSE exam, 95 per cent of them passed.

The students of Don Bosco School at Kheti in Khonsa, district headquarters of Tirap district, came up with a good show securing 100 per cent success in the ICSE.

However, the authorities of the Assam Valley School in Balipara in Sonitpur district did not provide the results despite repeated requests.

“We can give the results only after the headmaster gives us permission,” said an official at the headmaster’s office.
