HBSE Haryana Board 10th Result 2020: The topper of the Haryana Board class 10 achieved 100 per cent marks this year, with 100 in English, Mathematics, Science, Social Science and Music, and 97 in Hindi. According to the topper Rishita Rohilla, “The 100 per cent score was possible because of self-study, hard work, proper strategy, and thorough study of National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) books. I regularly studied for 5 to 6 hours, and followed the school notes thoroughly.” According to her, she scored 97 in Hindi because of certain errors in the grammar portion.

Rishita, who hails from the suburban town Narnaund in Hisar, said the lack of access to coaching did not affect her preparation. “I did not take any private tutions or follow the online learning platforms, though it has become a norm now,” the topper shared.
