Marks in the rest of the subjects were more or less the same as last year, but results in Maths and Economics are not appealing. Our topper is from Commerce stream -Shruti Nagarajan has topped with 97 per cent. Political Science and Psychology could have fetched better marks,” Anjali Razdan, Principal, AMS P.
