Saishree aims to become a Chartered Accountant and made this career choice after Class X, inspired in part by her cousin, who is also a CA. For the past two years, she has been living in a hostel in Nagpur to access better educational opportunities. She shared that while moving away from home brought valuable exposure, it also presented challenges. “I am grateful to my teachers and coaching faculty who made learning easier. But students staying with their families naturally had more comfort, especially when it comes to food and care.
 
For hostel students like me, managing health and self-care was a daily responsibility,” she said. Saishree maintained a healthy diet and focused on staying mentally fresh. She advised students that if quality education is available in their hometown, it is better to stay at home during their Class XI and XII. Her father, Hemant Agrawal, is a Civil Engineer, her mother, Anju, is a homemaker, and her elder sister Khushi is pursuing Computer Science at VIT, Pune. Balancing sports and studies, Sharanya is joint probable topper Contd from page 1 mother Dr Renuka is a professor of Ayurveda in Pandav College. Her elder sister Aarya is pursuing engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal, Karnataka. She thanked her parents for their constant support throughout the session.

Regular studies, appearing for test series and solving practice test papers helped her lot in the examination. In the beginning, she overcame her nervousness about studies with the help of table tennis as it guided her to give her full effort. Sharanya’s parents are her role model and she wants to become a successful person like her parents. Sharanya aspires to follow in the foot-steps of her elder sister and wants to become an engineer in future. Sharanya thanked her family, parents, teachers and school management for their constant support throughout the session.
