Reflecting on his remarkable achievement, Sagnik humbly expressed disbelief upon initially seeing the results. "I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought there is something wrong with the website," he revealed in an interview with The Telegraph Online Edugraph.
His parents, beaming with pride, emphasized Sagnik's consistent diligence and passion for learning. "He has always been a meritorious student. We never forced him to do anything. He had been preparing for the exam for the last two years. We were sure that he would crack the examination, but such a brilliant performance was completely unexpected," shared Somenath Chakraborty.
Pampa Chakraborty revealed Sagnik's love for books, illustrating his unwavering commitment to knowledge—be it academic texts or captivating novels, Sagnik is always immersed in literature.
Apart from his academic pursuits, Sagnik's admiration for Brazilian football icon Neymar is well-known, symbolizing his resilience in overcoming life's challenges. With aspirations set on corporate law, he aims to skillfully navigate the complexities of this field.
His elder sister, Suchetana Chakraborty, setting her own path, is currently a fourth-year law student at Nirma University, Ahmedabad. Sagnik's teachers at St. Thomas Church School spoke glowingly of his achievements, with Principal PC Daniel expressing immense pride in Sagnik's accomplishments.
