Malegaon: Almas Nazim Sayyad of Nagpur topped the Maharashtra HSC Board exams when the results were announced today in the afternoon. Scoring 98.50% marks, Almas stood first in the list of 10,59,261 students who had given the exams in February/March 2009.

Interestingly the fourth position also went to a girl student Rajni Pawale of Latur who scored 96.83% marks.

Almas Sayyad who was confident of topping the Nagpur city is now thankful to Almighty Allah who had given her lot more than she had expected. "I was praying to Almighty Allah that I top the Nagpur city. Now that I am the first in the entire state, I do not have words to express my gratitude to The Almighty", she said while speaking to the media.

A beaming Almas Sayyad who studied at Shivaji Science College of Nagpur expressed her desire for the medical field. "I would be seeking admission at any medical college in Mumbai for my further education", she added.
