Purushottam said, "Two years of citing sources, deciphering TOK essay titles, complaining about internal assessment deadlines and working hard on most nights, has brought me here. Hard work, seeking help from your teachers, and knowing what (not) to do are the three most crucial components to getting a perfect 45 in the IBDP.”
Jain said, "My score was a culmination of two years of hard work and consistent practice. With the ever-present support of all my IB teachers, no task was ever too hard."
Seven students of Hiranandani Foundation School, Powai have scored above 40. Kalyani Patnaik, Head of School, Hiranandani Foundation School, Powai said, "Our school average has increased consistently every year. After months of hard work and dedication, students were thrilled to receive their final scores online."
Olli-Pekka Heinonen, Director General of the International Baccalaureate (IBl), said, "The last 18 months have been incredibly challenging for students, teachers, and schools throughout the world as COVID-19 has undermined much of what we had come to take for granted. A key responsibility of the IB this year has been to ensure that our students are not disadvantaged by the pandemic, including in their applications to university and higher education."
