“I spent the last two years preparing for competitive exams and while I appeared for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains as well, my focus was always on CET,” 17-year-old Nishtha Pandey was quoted as saying by the national daily. Nishtha is one of the eight city students who topped the exam.
Another aspirant, Rishabh Bali (18) not only achieved the perfect score but also scored 91.2 per cent in his Class XII board exams.
