BIZARRE! Pune student scores the perfect 35 in all subjects at Class 10 board exam

Published

on

Mumbai: There are those who get more than 90% in the board exams and still crib about not scoring high enough. Then there are those who are just happy to have scored enough marks to get passed. But what if someone scores the exact marks needed to clear the exam, not a point less not a point more? They would consider themselves to be the luckiest person on the planet. Vaibhav More, a student from Junnar taluka in Pune, is one of them.

As the state education board declared the Class 10 exam results on Friday, Vaibhav got the most peculiar marksheet – one with 35 marks in each of the subjects, the bare minimum required for passing the exam. He couldn’t believe it, and neither could anyone else. “Bhari, na (Awesome, isn’t it)” is his reaction when asked about the amusing scorecard.

Son of a farm labourer couple at the tiny Bori Khurd village situated 93 km north of Pune, Vaibhav doesn’t really like to study and was expecting to fail the test. “I did prepare for the exam but didn’t have much expectations. I was astonished to see 35 in each of the subjects. I haven’t seen anyone with such a mark sheet. My friends, too, are surprised,” says the delighted student.

The 16-year-old says that his teacher and mother were both relieved as they didn’t have much hope. His father, on the other hand, was far from amused. “He yelled at me as he wanted me to score more,” said Vaibhav.

When asked about his son’s bizarre feat, Krushna More, the father, shot a rather probing question. “Did he actually get those marks, or was he passed through condonation?”

While the condonation or grace marks, awarded to students who miss the passing score by a few points, seems to be the most likely explanation behind the improbably neat result, it must take special skill, or luck, to muster just enough marks to benefit from this provision in as many as six subjects.

Vaibhav said that he never had much affinity for education as he struggled to understand what was taught in the classroom. He particularly abhorred Mathematics. To make matters worse, his school was shut for more than a year due to the Covid-induced lockdown. He credits his elder sister, a Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS), to help him study for the exam and get across the line.

While he doesn’t spend much much time studying, Vaibhav helps his parents with farm work and plays Cricket and Kabaddi in his spare time. He is fascinated by electronic equipments and often fasten and unfasten them and he is now planning to pursue some vocational course at the nearby Industrial Training Institute (ITI), though he isn’t very sure about it.

Mumbai: Senior Congress leader and MLA Nana Patole has been suspended from the assembly proceedings for a day for protesting in front of the speaker’s podium in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly against the ruling party’s derogatory and objectionable remarks on the farmers’ issue. Nana Patole had protested in the house against the derogatory remarks against farmers, after which this action has been taken. The derogatory remarks against farmers had led to a ruckus in the house.

The House was rocked by a ruckus after Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate and BJP MLA Babunrao Lonekar made derogatory remarks against farmers, alleged Nana Patole. After which Nana Patole and opposition leaders reached the Speaker’s chair in protest, a ruckus broke out and demanded an apology for the remark. Speaker Rahul Narvekar asked the members to maintain order and sit in their seats, but the ruckus continued and Nana Patole was suspended from the Assembly for a day.

Addressing reporters on the ridicule of farmers, Congress leader Nana Patole said that those who insult farmers are given respect and those who fight for the rights of farmers are thrown out of the assembly. Nana Patole criticized the ministers of the state government and the central government and said that today farmers are being treated like beggars. He said that due to unseasonal rains, the crops of farmers have been destroyed and the government has not taken any effective steps to help the farmers and their insurance has also expired. The Congress leader, calling the government anti-farmers, vowed to continue fighting for their rights even after disciplinary action. He said that we will continue to fight against this corrupt and incompetent government even if we have to face suspension every day.

SP MLA Abu Azmi Moves Bombay High Court to Quash FIRs Over Controversial Remarks Labeling India as ‘A Golden Sparrow’ Due to Aurangzeb

Published

Mumbai, June 30, 2025 — The controversy surrounding remarks made by Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Abu Azmi continues to unfold as he has approached the Bombay High Court seeking to quash multiple FIRs registered against him. The filings stem from comments in which Azmi referred to India as ‘a golden sparrow’—a phrase he linked to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb—drawing widespread attention and sparking debates over the nature of these remarks.

Azmi’s petition argues that his statements have been misinterpreted and taken out of context, claiming they are part of a historical narrative rather than a political statement. He contends that criminal proceedings against him are unjustified and that his freedom of speech should be protected under constitutional rights.

The FIRs, registered across various districts, allege that Azmi’s comments could incite communal tensions and offend sentiments linked to national identity. Critics have accused Azmi of making divisive remarks, while supporters argue that his statements are historical references meant to shed light on past rulers and avoid misrepresentations.

Legal experts suggest that the case revolves around balancing free speech against the potential to incite discord. The court’s decision on whether to dismiss the FIRs could have broader implications for political discourse and expression of historical perspectives in India.

As the matter remains under judicial review, it continues to fuel discussions across political circles and social media, highlighting the sensitive nature of historical narratives and freedom of expression in contemporary India.
