With a score of 484 out of 500 marks, Pooja Kumari, Shubhadarshini and Sandeep Kumar grabbed the top rank. Both girls were alumni of Simultala school in Jamui, which has been coming out with a stellar performance in the Bihar board exams in recent past. "The top 10 rankers include 65 boys and 36 girls. We do not recall so many students performing so well in recent past. The top rankers will be presented with a laptop each by the state government, as part of a scheme in place to encourage meritorious students," said a board official.
