No Timetable, Just Focused Learning — The Secret Behind Ishani’s Success: Bankura’s Ishani Chakraborty, a student of Kotulpur Sarojbasini Girls’ School, has secured the third position in West Bengal’s Madhyamik (Class 10) Examination 2025 with an impressive 693 marks out of 700. What’s remarkable is that Ishani never followed a strict routine. Instead, she studied when she felt most focused and productive.
“I used to wake up and plan what subjects I wanted to cover that day. I’d study them for as long as it took to understand properly,” Ishani shared. She believes it’s not about how many hours one studies, but how sincerely one does it.
A Passion for Science and a Dream for Research: Ishani has a keen interest in science and wants to pursue it in higher education. Her long-term goal is to enter the world of research.

Balancing Study with Passion: Painting as a Creative Escape: Besides studying, Ishani loves painting. She says that her art helped her relax and stay mentally refreshed during exam preparation. She also credited her parents and teachers for their constant support and motivation.
