Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Sixteen Mumbai students have topped the world in individual subjects in the Cambridge International Examinations – over half of the 30 Indian world toppers. These Mumbai students have achieved the highest marks in the world for single subjects in the November 2013 and May 2014 Cambridge International Examinations series (Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge International AS Level and Cambridge International A Level.).

Additionally, 30 students from Mumbai have also made it to the national list of toppers for individual subjects – achieving the highest marks in their Cambridge International Examinations subject in all of India.

The ‘topper’ students will each be recognised for their outstanding academic achievements with an Outstanding Cambridge Learner Award, the annual awards programme for Cambridge International Examinations.

Of the world toppers, half (15 students) got their topper awards for their outstanding performance in Mathematics papers. The remaining students excelled in a wide range of subjects including English, Information Communication and Technology, Biology and Economics. The list of awardees also includes students who have achieved the total highest cumulative marks across a number of subjects in India.

Vinayak Sudhakar, Senior Schools Development Manager, India, says: “We congratulate learners across India on their outstanding results in the Cambridge examinations. These achievements demonstrate the dedication and commitment of teachers, support provided by families and friends, and learners’ determination and passion to succeed. This success defines them not just as learners, but as Cambridge learners. We wish them every success in their future.”

In the recent May 2014 exam series, Cambridge International Examinations saw strong growth: there was a 10 per cent growth across all Cambridge qualifications offered in India, with more than 43,000 entries. Additionally, entries for Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics and Sciences (Physics, Biology and Chemistry) have grown by almost nine per cent, with more than 8000 entries.

In India, the most popular Cambridge IGCSEs are: First Language English, Mathematics, Hindi as a Second Language, Physics and Chemistry.
