Smayan Dasnayak, a student at PhysicsWallah‘s (PW) tech-enabled offline centres, PW Vidyapeeth, celebrated his remarkable 99.20% score in the Class 10th CBSE Board Examination 2025. Smayan, who lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, has an interesting story.

Smayan said, “I must admit that at first I took a very informal approach, but the constant encouragement I received from the PW Vidyapeeth faculty shaped my academic path. I now think that finding your rhythm is the key to success—there is no secret. Stress is essential for character development. I overcame it by taking frequent breaks, which had a significant impact. My memory retention was particularly enhanced by the PW tests. Life is full of distractions, but entertainment is necessary to clear the mind; it must have its boundaries. Although I made sure it didn’t take up too much of my time, I did use social media. In the future, I hope to take the JEE, the International Math Olympiad, and the International Physics Olympiad. My goal is to work as a researcher and, if granted the chance, a professor”.

Teacher, founder, and CEO of PW, Alakh Pandey, said, “Smayan’s outcome is an example of the value of consistent effort and the right resources. We at PW make an effort to help students from different backgrounds get ready for their academic objectives”.

More than 23 lakh students took the CBSE Class 10 exam this year. In addition to being one of the students who achieved high scores, Smayan’s performance serves as an illustration of the value of offline learning in academic preparation.
