Lucknow: On 7 May 2025, the Jaipuria Auditorium rang with applause and pride as Seth M.R. Jaipuria School, Gomti Nagar, celebrated the outstanding achievements of its ISC Batch 2024–25. Against a backdrop of gleaming smiles and proud families, the school’s integral-education philosophy shone through every moment of the felicitation ceremony.
In ISC, this year, 103 students scored above 90%, with 46 achieving a remarkable 95% and above. The school’s average stands at an impressive 86.75%.
Our alumnus, Bharat Dutt Tiwari, 2015 batch—who secured 98th rank in the UPSC examination—inspired the students with his reflections. He urged them not to let societal pressures dictate their life choices, sharing:
“I cleared the UPSC in my fourth attempt. I was clear about my goal, and for four years I worked at my full potential.”
During the interactive session, he answered questions about returning to his alma mater—“There was a sense of nostalgia that is hard to put into words”—and on whether clearing the UPSC was his ikigai:
“Yes, at this moment in my life you could say it is my ikigai, but I don’t believe a person has only one ikigai. For example, if you ask my mother, she wouldn’t say academics—it would be her happiness. Ikigai changes over time, and that’s how life works.”
He further added “I owe all my success to my mother—her sacrifices and steadfast love shaped me into who I am today, and her strength continues to inspire me every day.”
When asked what motivated him to sit for the UPSC, he revealed,
“I lost my dad, and that was a turning point in my life. This moment in my life motivated me to prepare for the Civil Services.”
Our ISC school toppers are Saransh Mishra who scored 99%. Next was Dhrati Tiwari scoring 98.75% followed by Mahirah Naeem with 98.5%. The performance of the school in all subjects is much higher than the national average.
At Jaipuria, we focus on the integral development of every child—nurturing their physical, vital, mental, and psychic dimensions. Our aim is not just to educate, but to help each student discover who they truly are and what they are meant to become. That’s why our learners immerse themselves in a wide range of activities—sports, cultural programs, leadership roles, and more—alongside their academic pursuits. These experiences prepare them to become complete individuals.
We believe true growth happens when academics and co-curriculars go hand in hand. Our students not only participate actively in various events, but also consistently score high marks—proving that excellence in one area need not come at the cost of another. This balance is a deliberate, thoughtfully guided process, and the results speak for themselves. At Jaipuria, we are proud to offer an education that is truly integral, where every child is given the space to grow, the support to explore, and the encouragement to thrive.
The heart of the ceremony lay in the tiered felicitations. First, Prof. Solanki and Mrs. Promini Chopra honored twenty students who achieved between 90 percent and 92 percent. After Prof. Solanki’s brief address on the value of lifelong curiosity, Dr. Anupam Vidyarthi and Mrs. Deepa Wahi presented citations to twenty-one students scoring between 92.25 percent and 93.75 percent, followed by a warm discussion with their parents. Finally, Mr. Vinay Pandey and Dr. Rashmi Singh felicitated sixteen students whose marks ranged from 94 percent to 94.75 percent.
Following this, fourteen students who scored between 95 percent and 95.75 percent were felicitated by Dr. Vidyarthi and Mrs. Wahi. Jaya Joshi Ma’am then interacted with the students’ parents. One parent reflected on their fourteen-year journey with Jaipuria: “Over the years, my child has blossomed like a tree given the right care. Thanks to the teachers at Jaipuria, she grew into the best version of herself—an honest, compassionate individual—because they provided the nurturing environment and excellence in learning she needed.”
Subject toppers then received their medals from the respective Heads of Department, marking individual excellence across the syllabus. Special awards recognized achievements in sports, arts, and other co-curricular activities, underscoring the diversity of student talents. In a climactic moment, thirty-two students scoring between 96 percent and 99 percent were honored by Prof. Solanki and Mrs. Chopra, with Saransh Mishra crowned this year’s batch topper.
The evening concluded with the National Anthem, bringing the ceremony to a close.
