Vipul secured 695 marks out of 720 while Khushi scored 688, said Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) which conducted the exam.

An elated Vipul said he's glad that he has been able to make his parents proud.

Khushi, who aspires to pursue endocrinology as her specialisation, said the second round of the test helped her better her performance.
