Topping the HSCE general stream exams, the results of which were announced by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Board of Exam on Thursday, has taken Vishal Jamtani completely by surprise.
The resident of Mehsana, who has scored 92.71 per cent, says, “I was expecting a rank, may be seventh or so. But first rank is unbelievable. The feeling that I am the topper is yet to sink in.”
This student of Ash Secondary School and Shivbbhai U Patel U M School had no timetable for studies.
Son of a garment merchant, Kishan Jamtani, and Reshma, Vishal allowed his mood to guide his study plan. “When in mood I would study for 12 to 13 hours at a stretch. And there were days when I wouldn't go beyond 5 to 6 hours."
Vishal has scored 99 in his favourite subject, statistics, but also worked hard for his language papers, which, according to him are equally important. “A good grip on English these days is as important as knowing the main subject. Which is why I took English tuitions, said Vishal. He scored 92 in the subject.
For businessman Kishan Jamtani, Vishal's achievement is something very new for the family. “We have been into business since ages. No one in our family has ever made it to the board merit list, said Kishan Jamtani.
