He scored 99 marks each in Science and Mathematics and 100 marks in all other subjects, including Artificial Intelligence, which he had opted for as an additional subject.

Saksham said he chose Artificial Intelligence due to its growing relevance. A non-medical student, he aspires to pursue engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay and later start his own venture. He is a resident of Jagraon.

His mother, Sonia Mittal, said the result brought immense joy to the family. She added that he is not a bookworm and has consistently scored above 95 per cent throughout school.

Saksham said he enjoys reading fiction and participating in science and mathematics Olympiads, adding that he studies with full concentration rather than for long hours.

Another city topper, Divyansh Jaju of Police DAV School, also scored 99.8 per cent. He secured 100 marks in Mathematics, Social Science, Hindi and Information Technology, and 99 in the remaining subjects.

Divyansh, who aspires to become an engineer, said discipline and self-study were key to his success. He said he studied around six hours daily, increasing to nearly 13 hours during examinations, and maintained a daily preparation diary.

Other top scorers include Deepan Garg, Hitansh Sharma and Saanjh Kaur of BCM Arya Model Senior Secondary School, Shastri Nagar, who scored 99.6 per cent. Samiya Arora of DAV Public School, BRS Nagar, scored 99.4 per cent, along with several other students from BCM Arya Model School.
