Confident that she deserved more than the 97.8 per cent marks she scored in her Std XII CBSE board exam, Kashvi Kamath had applied for re-evaluation of her papers. This move has not only led to an increase in marks in Biology and Chemistry papers, but made her a board topper with a score of whopping 99 per cent. Kashvi, a student of MKVV International Vidyalaya in Borivli, now holds the position of joint board topper along with another student from Apeejay School in Nerul, Navi Mumbai.
A resident of Ghatkopar East, Kashvi told mid-day, “I was sure that I should get more marks than what I got. So, I applied for re-evaluation. And I was proved right as my percentage increased to 99 per cent and I also became a Mumbai topper. I am really happy, as are my parents and teachers who supported me a lot.”

Her father works for an IT company and her mother is a homemaker. Speaking on her future plans, Kashvi said, “I have been wanting to pursue Computer Science. I got selected for admission at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru as a researcher. In fact, another company has also given me an offer. While IISc is a reputed institute and I have interest in research, I am yet to make the final call.”
Nimisha Singh, principal of MKVV International Vidyalaya which is an offspring of The Borivali Education Society, told mid-day, “Kashvi had scored good marks but was unhappy with it. She was certain that she should get more marks and hence applied for re-evaluation. She is a hardworking girl. In school, whenever she received less marks in exams, she would approach the teacher to know why her marks were cut. She has confidence and is clever too.”
