CBSE Topper: Two girls from Rajasthan, Debanshi from Jaipur and Khushi from Sikar, did something amazing in their Class 12 CBSE exams. They both scored 499 marks out of 500! That’s just one mark short of perfect.

But what’s their secret? They both say — “We stayed away from phones and focused only on NCERT books.”

Debanshi said she stopped using her smartphone while preparing. “I used to study for just 4 to 5 hours every day,” she said. “I treated NCERT books like a Bible and never wasted time on social media.”

Khushi also said no to her phone. “I used it only for 10 minutes a week. My focus was only on my goal,” she shared. She scored full marks (100) in subjects like History, Political Science, Geography, and Painting.
