Om Tupe, a visually impaired student from Chembur, scored 70% in the Maharashtra SSC exams by memorising lessons and taking assistance from a writer during papers. His younger sister Shravani Tupe also excelled, scoring 93.40% and emerging as the topper among BMC-run Marathi medium schools, making it a proud moment for the family.
This year’s Maharashtra SSC results have brought two reasons to celebrate for the Tupe family in Chembur. Om Tupe, who is visually impaired, has scored 70 per cent in the Class 10 examination.
His younger sister, Shravani Tupe, also made headlines after scoring 93.40 per cent and emerging as the topper among students from BMC’s municipal Marathi schools.
Result earned through memory and discipline
Om said he prepared for the examination largely by memorising his lessons. “I feel very happy,” he said while speaking after the result. He explained that his study method was different from most students. “I used to memorise everything by heart, and during the examination I was given a writer,” he said.
