Raveesh’s story
When II PU results were announced, Raveesh had secured 589. He was not happy with the score he got in English as he was expecting more than 95 marks.
Hence he applied for photo copy of answer script and after going through the answer scripts with subject experts including the principal of his college he applied for revaluation.
As expected he got eight more marks in English to take his tally to 98 marks and overall total to 597 marks making him a topper in state.
On Thursday late evening, Raveesh and Principal of Vidyashala Balaji came to know about the revaluation marks and they were delighted with the outcome of marks. Speaking to Newskarnataka.com Raveesh said “I was very confident about my marks, when I came to know that I got 90 marks in English, I told my parents and also my teachers including principal Balaji sir. Due to revaluation and paper seeing facility I got justice, if such facility was not there it would have been a problem. I want to take up medicine and later pursue career in cardiology”.
Delighted Principal of Sri Ramakrishna Vidyashala S Balaji said “As expected after revaluation he got eight more marks to take tally to 597 and emerge as state topper. Raveesh is very talented, sincere and honest student. We at Vidyashala give overall importance of our students. Not only education but also extracurricular activities. Everyday minimum of three hours our students study. The secret behind our success is we give equal importance to all the students. There is no special coaching for any particular group of students.
