Bengaluru: Tabassum Sheik, 2nd PU arts topper from NMKRV PU College for Women said she never expected to get the first rank.

Speaking about her preparation for the media, she said she studied 7-8 hours every day, referred to previous years’ question papers, and always approached teachers in case of doubts. Tabassum said she wanted to study psychology to uplift the community in terms of mental health.

This had been a motivating factor for her to do well in exams, she said. To those who did not fare very well in the board exams, she encouraged them to give their best next time and to take help from everybody
