Dharmasthala student scores perfect 625 in SSLC Exam 2 after improvement

Mangaluru: An SSLC student from Dharmasthala has secured a perfect 625/625, emerging as one of the state toppers in the SSLC Exam 2 results announced Saturday.

Madhurya G, a student of SDM English Medium School, had initially scored 620/625 in Exam 1. The shortfall included one mark in Hindi and four marks in Science, despite her consistently high performance in school exams.

Following the first results, Madhurya applied for re-evaluation in Hindi and was awarded the additional mark she believed she had lost, taking her total to 621. Still dissatisfied with the four-mark deficit in Science, she opted to appear for the improvement exam in that subject.

After preparing again, she wrote the improvement examination and scored 100/100 in Science, lifting her overall total to a full 625/625 in the Exam 2 results.

Her father, G Subrahmanya Prasad, said Madhurya had consistently scored above 99 marks in previous examinations and was expected to achieve a perfect score in the SSLC. He said the family had not yet finalised her next academic steps.

School head Parimala MV described Madhurya as a well-rounded student who balances academics with active participation in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. She said Madhurya consistently took part in school events while maintaining strong academic performance.
