This SSLC topper loves English literature
Udupi: Medha N. Bhat, a student of T.A. Pai English Medium High School, Udupi, is among the eight students, who secured the second place in the State in the SSLC examinations with 624 of 625 marks.
Medha is the daughter of Narsimha Bhat, CEO of a private firm in Manipal, and Shashikala Bhat, a homemaker. She was delighted with her performance. While she expected a high score, she had not expected 624. She used to study for three to four hours daily and about six to eight hours on weekends. She did not take any coaching.
She has joined the Science stream with PCMS at MGM Pre-University College here. “One of my dreams is to do Ph.D. in English literature. I am good at Mathematics and Science. But English is my favourite subject. I will decide after two years whether I should continue with Science or take to English literature,” she said.
