Avni Kejriwal, a student at Delhi Public School in Ranchi, scored a perfect 500/500 marks in the CBSE Class-12 Commerce stream on Monday [1, 2].
The result establishes Kejriwal as a national topper and highlights the impact of the board's re-evaluation process on final academic standings.
Kejriwal applied for the re-evaluation because she believed her original marks did not accurately reflect her performance [3]. Before the review, her initial aggregate stood at 95.2% [3]. Her original subject scores included 100 in Accountancy, Economics, and Applied Mathematics, while she had scored 81 in English and 95 in Business Studies [3].
The re-evaluation process resulted in an increase of 24 marks [2]. This adjustment brought her total to a perfect 500/500 [1, 2]. The announcement of these results occurred on June 22, 2026 [1, 2].
"Everyone is very happy right now. We weren't expecting 500 marks, but everyone is very happy," Kejriwal said [4].
The student's achievement has drawn significant attention to the academic performance of students in Jharkhand. The perfect score is a rare occurrence in the Commerce stream, where high aggregates are common, but absolute perfection across all subjects is uncommon.

This case underscores the importance of the CBSE re-evaluation mechanism, demonstrating that significant marking discrepancies can exist in initial assessments. For students in highly competitive academic environments, a few marks can determine national ranking and potentially influence university admissions and scholarship opportunities.
