Adding to the district's achievements, Jia Farha Islam of Little Flower School, Dibrugarh, has secured the third position in Assam in the HSLC 2026 examination.
A resident of Milan Nagar, Jia's academic record has been defined by consistency — she topped her class year after year, right through to her matriculation.
What makes her achievement stand out further is that she did not rely on private tuition at any stage of her preparation.
Her mother guided her studies at home through to matriculation, while her father — a teacher by profession — provided steady academic support alongside. She also made use of digital platforms and social media as supplementary learning tools, maintaining a disciplined daily study schedule.
Beyond her HSLC result, Jia recently secured third position in the Integrated Science Scholarship cum Admission Test (INSSAT) 2.0, conducted by Dr Radhakrishna School of Arts, Commerce & Science.
The achievement earns her the opportunity to pursue her next two years of education entirely free of cost.
Jia has credited her success to her parents, teachers, and school for their consistent support and encouragement throughout her academic journey.
