CBSE 12th result 2017: Lucknow’s Iti Singh plans to party with friends after scoring 97.8%

Lucknow’s Iti Singh plans to celebrate her success in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 board examination 2017.

Singh scored 97.8% marks in the exams, results of which were declared on Sunday, and is perhaps the topper in the Uttar Pradesh capital.

The student of Delhi Public School in Indira Nagar now wants to withdraw some money from her National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) scholarship to party with her friends.

“I had been saving my hard-earned scholarship money till now. But now I wish to withdraw some amount and celebrate with my friends,” the 18-year-old said.

Daughter of a government official in the state food and civil supplies department, Singh scored 100 in English and physics and 97 in mathematics and information practices each.

“My elder sister was also very good in studies but couldn’t score well. She is doing her BTech from Manipal University now. My younger brother is in Class 5 and is really happy with my percentage,” she said.

Singh scored 236 marks in the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) 2017 and is now awaiting the results of JEE Advanced. “I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for yet another celebration after the JEE advance results,” she said.

Singh is an avid painter as well as a reader. “Whenever I get time or need to relax, I get down to painting. I love to paint sceneries and figures. I also love to read in leisure hours,” she said.
