Manish Kumar Katiyar, a farmer’s son, has topped the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) class 10 exams after the results were declared on July 8 afternoon. Manish, a Netarhat student and resident of Sahebganj, topped the results with 98 per cent, scoring 490 out of 500. He told a local daily that he often helps his father, Devashish Bharti aka Kedar Mahto, in farming.
Manish said that he maintained a fine balance between studies and other activities during the examination period. According to The Avenue Mail, Manish said that he either stood first or second in class 7 and 8 but slipped behind in class 9, making him more sincere and focussed in class 10. He gave more time on Social Science and Sanskrit since Mathematics and Science were his strong point.
“After the exam, I thought of getting in the top 10 in the state but didn’t know I would become a state topper,” he was quoted as saying.
The second position is held jointly by Kundan Kumar, Ayush Kumar Hind and Siddharth Kumar, also from Netarhat, with 97.60 per cent. Aditya Harsh and Jatin Raj were joint third in Jharkhand with 97.40 per cent. JAC Jharkhand has released the 10th board results at 1 pm on July 8.
