ADIS student emerges topper in CBSE

ABU DHABI — Abhilash Krishnan, who is in the XIth Grade and an assistant head of boys of Abu Dhabi Indian School, has vindicated his first position after marks verifications at Central Board of Secondary Examinations (CBSE) of India.

He also equalled the toppers of the UAE schools obtaining a total of 96.2 per cent marks as he got only 48 per cent marks in Social Science before the verifications.

Krishnan had always been a topper in the school and his teachers were astonished when they saw that he had scored a dismal 48 per cent in social science, said V. K. Mathu, Principal of Abu Dhabi Indian School.

“The school authorities felt that it was a mistake. A request for verification of his marks in Social Science was made to the CBSE, New Delhi in India and an official statement of his marks revealed that Abhilash had actually scored 98 per cent marks that made him the topper in the school with his revised aggregate of 96.2 per cent marks,” Mathu added.

Anindiya Gautam, who was declared topper earlier, now occupies the second place with 95 per cent.

Besides that Krishnan also equals the aggregate percentage of the UAE topper, Dharini Natarajan of Delhi Private School, Sharjah.

Being excellent in academics, Krishnan is an ace public speaker and an active member of the Nature Club in school. He represented the school at the Terra quiz, an environment quiz contest, conducted by The Energy Resources Institute, New Delhi, for the 32 top schools who had taken the Green Olympiad, an environment examination across India and abroad.
