The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) announced Class 12 exam results on May 24, with Subhrangsu Sardar taking the top spot with an impressive 99.2 percent. Sardar scored 496 out of 500 marks to secure the first rank in the West Bengal Board Class 12 exams.
While happy, Sardar was not exactly surprised by his success. He said he studied for four hours every day and had been expecting a good result.
When asked whom he credits for his success, the Narendrapur resident minced no words. “I feel that I have contributed the most to my success, because I took the exam,” Sardar told TV9 after the results were declared.
His brutally honest response amused many on social media, where the class 12 topper was praised for being straightforward as well as witty.
My generation was nowhere remotely close to this cool.***

Sardar was not the only rank-holder whose responses earned praise on social media. Abu Sama, who stood second overall in the West Bengal Higher Secondary exam, said he had been expecting the first rank.
“I thought I would be the first. There was a little mistake, so I came second,” Sama was quoted as saying by TV9. He also refused to disclose what he plans to do next.
“I have thought about it, but I won’t say right now what I want to be,” Sama said when asked about his plans for the future.
