On being further asked about her experience of online classes as the schools continue to remain shut due to Covid-related restrictions, she said, “Online education was very difficult for me. In our area, we have long power cuts and patchy internet connections. I do not have a laptop. My school used to send study material on WhatsApp which I downloaded whenever I had a network and studied and re-studied it. My pre-boards had gone well, so I was confident about getting a good score but never thought will get 100 per cent marks.”
