When the CBSE Class 12 results were announced in May, Avni had scored 95.2%. She had already secured full marks in Accountancy, Economics and Applied Mathematics. However, she was surprised by her scores in English and Business Studies and decided to apply for re-evaluation.Speaking about her decision, Avni said English had always been her favourite subject and strongest area. She told ANI, “Everyone is very happy right now. We weren’t expecting 500 marks, but everyone is very happy. I had 19 marks deducted in English, which I wasn’t expecting. English is my favourite subject and was my strongest one. That’s why I applied for re-evaluation. There were also 5 marks deducted in Business Studies.“The review process worked in her favour. After re-evaluation, her marks were revised upward, giving her full marks in all five core commerce subjects- English Core, Accountancy, Business Studies, Economics and Applied Mathematics.
