We've all had that one friend who aced the game of selective studies. While the rest of us struggled with studying each and every chapter, this one guy/girl would know just how much was needed..... to pass.
One Mumbai student has set the bar really high for selective studying; this dude literally scored a 35 pass marks in all his subjects to clear the SSC exams!
No kidding!
Meet Akshit Jadhav, a student of Shanti Nagar High School on Mira Road Mumbai, and a mini Internet celebrity.
A Facebook post read, 'The probability of occurrence of this miraculous event has blown me away. NOTE: Minimum marks required to pass in SSC exams is ''35'' this makes the event, even more, interesting.#exceptionalevent #believe.'
"He was surprised to see his score, as he was expecting 55 per cent," said Akshit's father Ganesh Jadhav.
After the results, Akshit has earned some media limelight with several local news channels and reporters rushing to his place to interview him.
"Students attempt every question in anticipation that they would get a high score, but they may end up with low score. Akshit, on the other hand, secured minimum passing marks and we all are happy that he cleared the exam," his father said.
His mother Aruna, a homemaker said "He enrolled as a private candidate and we extremely happy about his achievement. He coaches in football and plans to build a career in sports."
Meanwhile, Akshit told the Free Press Journal, "I had not expected to pass, so I am happy that 35 is my lucky number and I have cleared these exams."
16 lakh students appeared for the Class 10 exam this year and 77.10 per cent students cleared it. Of which 20 students have scored 100 percent marks.
Akshit stands as an epitome of positivity, he might not have scored well, but is content with the marks!
