No.1 ranked U-17 badminton player pair writes ICSE English Paper 1 Exam at Indian Embassy in Berlin
In what could be the first instance of Indian students appearing for board exams in another country, a Mumbai badminton player and her teammate from Nagpur took their ICSE (Class-X) Examinations on Friday, March 10th, 2017 in Berlin, Germany where they were playing a tournament.
Simran Singhi, 15, from Ryan International School, Malad and Ritika Thaker, 16, from Chanda Devi Saraf School, Nagpur wrote the English Paper at the Indian Embassy in Berlin from 9 am to 11 am (Berlin time), three hours before their second-round match in the German Junior International Grand Prix.
