Earlier Prachi Gaur and Pushwinder Kaur, both from Ludhiana scored 100 per cent in humanities and topped the state in the sports category.

Damanpreet Kaur had filed revaluation for sociology and Punjabi subjects but she has been given full marks in all subjects. She had earlier scored 92/100 in sociology, 68/75 in Punjabi, 74/75 in English, 98/100 in History and 97/100 in Physical education.

A softball player, she said, “I filed revaluation for Sociology and Punjabi as I was not satisfied with the marks. I was confident of securing a state rank. However, the result was a disappointment for me. Now the fresh marks prove that there was a goof up earlier.”
