“Appearing for a good number of test papers in the college boosted my confidence and made me face the examination without any fear,” said Amoolya Kamath from Expert Pre University College, Kodialbail, Mangaluru. She is the joint topper in the science stream of the second year Pre-University Examination-1.

Talking to reporters at the college in Mangaluru on April 8, she said solving test papers made her more resilient. Stating that she is interested to pursue a career in engineering, she asked students to revise portions regularly without missing any topic. She said students can do well in examinations if they write papers without any pressure. She did face lots of ups and downs in her preparation. Her parents and teachers kept her motivated through the rough phase.

Amoolya is the younger of two daughters of Dinesh Kamath, a dermatologist in the government-run Wenlock Hospital in Mangaluru, and Anuradha Kamath, a paediatrician. Her elder sister was also among the toppers in pre-university, and she pursued a course in engineering.
