Anushka Ghosh, a student from Barrackpore in Kolkata, has topped the ISC class 12 examination with a perfect score across all subjects, including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, and English. Celebrated by Left leaders such as CPI(M) member Sujan Chakraborty, she received flowers and books in recognition of her achievement. Ghosh, who draws inspiration from Left ideology, clarified that she does not intend to enter politics at this time. She plans to pursue engineering at one of India's prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology. Ghosh attributes her success to consistent studying throughout the year, stating, “there is no shortcut to good results.” Her parents, Anirban and Abhishi Ghosh, noted that she was never pressured to excel academically, and they recognized her potential from a young age. The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations recently announced that the overall pass percentages for class 10 and class 12 were 99.18% and 99.13%, respectively, with girls outperforming boys in both exams.
