Schools rejoice
				   Although the results came in much later than the State Board's  announcement, many schools following the CBSE stream in the city had  much to rejoice with the scores. School principals were thrilled to  speak about centum students scored.
				   
				   It was a hectic day for S. Dhivya, a student of Modern Senior Secondary School, Nanganallur, who scored a total of 492.
				   
				   She got to know her marks at 9.45 a.m. and since then calls started  pouring in. Television crew lined up at the school to interview her.
				   
				   As CBSE does not award individual ranks, one has to wait to see if  Dhivya is among the All-India toppers. Last year, the all-India topper  scored 490 and she was from Chennai.
				   
				   “I have always been consistent in my studies. Even during study  holiday, I was occupied with my books,” said Dhivya, who scored a  centum in Sanskrit.
				   
				   Although many school toppers were happy with their total, many sounded  pessimistic also about getting a seat in Anna University or Madras  Medical College, the most sought-after institutions.
				   
				   K.A. Sumana, who scored 491 in science group, said she is pinning hopes  on Kilpauk Medical College or Stanley Medical College. “I have scored  centum in Maths and Biology, but getting a seat is not going to be that  easy,” said the student of P.S. Senior Secondary School.
