Jamshedpur (Jharkhand): Nandita Haripal, daughter of a tailor father and domestic help mother, who topped the arts stream of Jharkhand Academic Council Class 12 exams, said she aspires to become a journalist.

"I was surprised when I heard the news. I didn't expect I would top the state exams. I want to become a journalist," said the student of Jamshedpur Women's College.

When asked about her study methods, Nandita said, "I regularly attended classes, made a study schedule and studied at home. Apart from this, I also attended a coaching class. I want to become a journalist in the future. My parents have always been supportive of our studies. They do not let financial constraints affect our studies.
