From One Scoop to Another: Mohali's Slip in the Merit Game
Mohali's Jashandeep takes top spot in PSEB Class 10 results; District climbs two spots in state rankings
Hey there! Let's get straight to it. So, Mohali hit the 11th spot in this year's Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) Class 10 rankings, climbing up from the 13th spot last year. Not too shabby, right? Well, hold your horses, because things aren't as rosy as they seem.
Last year, we were kickin' ass with three students cracking the top 20 in the merit list. But this year, Mohali's lone representative, Jashandeep Kaur, managed to secure only the 22nd spot in the state. Ouch. That's a tough pill to swallow, especially considering that she's the only student from Mohali to even make it to this year's merit list of 300.
To make matters worse, Kapurthala nudged its way past Mohali with a couple of students joining the state's merit list. And the cherry on top? Ludhiana took home 52 spots on the merit list. So, yeah, Mohali is staring at the bottom end of the merit pool this year.
A senior official from the education department ain't too pleased with Mohali's continued struggle in the academic limelight. Seems like teachers here with 'VIP' connections might be coasting a bit too much, causing a dip in performance.
But it ain't all bad news. Jashandeep, a student from Government High School, Rajomajra in Dera Bassi, bagged the top spot in Mohali with a whopping 96.62%. She hails from a modest background, working hard despite financial constraints and dreaming big. She's aiming to crack the chartered accountant exam, determined to shine.
So, while Mohali's merit list representation took a tumble this year, we've got Jashandeep leading the charge. Here's to hoping next year brings a fresh wave of success!
