Manish, who broke the 99 per cent benchmark set by two girls from the southern region - Jahnvi Dhar and Aparna Murlidhar - wants to join one of the Indian Institute of Technology after completing his class XII.His father Sanjay Kumar is the Director of Accounts, Postal Services and mother Sunita Kumari is a housewife.

“Manish earned praises from all his teachers for the brilliant manner in which he absorbed bare essentials of each subject. We were confident Manish will secure excellent mark in CBSE examination,” principal of Gyan Niketan DK Mukherjee said.

If this was not enough our boys have also secured good rank in the IIT-JEE entrance exam. It’s expected that almost 200 students from Patna alone have secured ranks in the country most prestigious exam.Students from the Super 30 batch have also kept the flag flying high and 28 out of 30 students have made it once again.
