As an ardent reader who loved English literature, Ipsita initially wanted to study it further and become a teacher.

But after she was introduced to the subject of psychology in Class 10, there was no turning back. “After school, I would come home and do my own research online on topics we learnt in psychology. I would find case studies, try to learn various analogies. There is so much to explore in this field,” said Ipsita, who was happy to share her learning from the board examination year. “Initially I would get scared as this was my first board exam. But the fear would interfere in my focus on studies. Then I learnt it is important to just do the work and worry about the result later,” said Ipsita, who is part of the batch whose Class 10 board exam was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
