Mohammad Zeeshan Qureshi makes history as the third topper in MP Board Class XII exams. Locals, school officials, and his family celebrate his success
NEW DELHI/MANDLA — Mohammad Zeeshan Qureshi, a student from Mandla district, has secured an impressive third position in Class XII (commerce stream), scoring 488 marks out of 500 (97.6%) in the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) results, which were declared on Tuesday.
Zeeshan’s achievement is not just a personal triumph; it has become a source of pride for his family, his school, and the entire district. His name now ranks among the top performers in Madhya Pradesh, as his success has made waves across the region. “I owe all my success to the support and guidance of my parents and teachers. Without their encouragement, I would not have been able to reach this position,” Zeeshan shared humbly.
Zeeshan, a student at Gyan Jyoti School in Nainpur, Mandla, has become a beacon of inspiration for others in the area, especially those from rural and smaller towns. His hard work and determination have shattered the notion that success in education is solely dependent on big cities. “We are incredibly proud of Zeeshan’s success,” said the principal of Gyan Jyoti School. “His dedication and discipline have not only brought glory to his family but also to our school. This achievement proves that talent can emerge from any corner, regardless of the size of the town or city.”
Following the announcement of the results, Zeeshan has been inundated with congratulations from all sides. People from Mandla, including teachers, locals, and well-wishers, have visited his home and school to celebrate his success. “I have never felt so much joy and support from my community,” Zeeshan said, as he received visitors and celebrated with family and friends. “The love and support I have received have made this achievement even more special.”
The celebration in Mandla extends beyond Zeeshan’s family and school. His success is being hailed as a symbol of the hard work and perseverance of the youth in rural India. In a region where students often face challenges due to limited resources, Zeeshan’s achievement is being seen as proof that with the right mentorship and support, anything is possible.
One of the standout moments in Zeeshan’s journey has been his acknowledgment of the vital role his teachers and parents have played in his success. “Jaiswal Sir has been a mentor and guide who pushed me to be my best. His advice and teachings were invaluable,” Zeeshan said, referring to his teacher, who has played a significant role in his academic growth. Zeeshan also expressed deep gratitude toward his parents, who he credits with instilling the values of hard work, discipline, and continuous learning.
Zeeshan’s father, Mohammad Imran, was overwhelmed with pride when he spoke about his son’s success: “Zeeshan has worked so hard for this moment, and it is heartwarming to see his efforts bear fruit. As a parent, nothing is more satisfying than seeing your child succeed.”
Zeeshan’s success is not an isolated achievement but part of a larger trend of students from Mandla excelling in academics. This year, as in previous years, the district has produced top-performing students who have excelled in different streams. Zeeshan’s position as one of the top three commerce students underscores the growing focus on education in Mandla and the potential for young students to make their mark on the state and national stage.
In addition to Zeeshan, the district has also celebrated other top achievers in subjects like science, biology, and agriculture, with students like Priyal Dwivedi from Satna topping the mathematics science stream, and Gargi Agarwal excelling in biology. These achievements collectively highlight the impressive educational progress of Madhya Pradesh, and particularly the rising prominence of rural areas in educational fields.
As Zeeshan now looks ahead, his dreams have only grown bigger. With his exemplary performance in the 12th-grade board exams, he hopes to continue his studies and further his academic career in a prestigious institution. “This is just the beginning for me,” Zeeshan expressed confidently. “I want to pursue higher education and eventually contribute to society through my work.”
His dedication, hard work, and humble nature have made him a role model for students across Mandla and Madhya Pradesh. Zeeshan’s success story is a testament to the transformative power of education, the importance of community support, and the belief that hard work always leads to success.
