Bangalore: It was a good day for the cyber cafes in the city which were packed with anxious students who wanted to know how they had fared in their second Pre-University Certificate (PUC) examination.

Abhini Prabhakar, a student of Vidya Mandir, was ecstatic. A Science student, she said she had secured 90 per cent. "I was sure of a good result. I am happy," she said

Her father V. Prabhakar, a physician, who accompanied her to the cyber café, beamed proudly: "I am happy with her result. I want her to pursue a career in medicine."

Ritika Kumar Chugh, a Commerce student from Mount Carmel College, was satisfied with her 87 per cent. "I am yet to decide if I should pursue law or commerce," she said.

Pankaj Mehta, a Commerce student from Sesharipuram College, has already planned his future. "I want to simultaneously do Chartered Accountancy and B.Com. I have applied to St. Joseph's College, Christ College and Mahaveer Jain College," he said

Among the happy and excited faces were a few that were downcast. Sanjit Gopal M., a Commerce student from Seshadripuram Composite College, said he was expecting a good result but found he had secured only 49 per cent. "I cannot keep feeling sad about my result. I need to think of my next step. I have decided to do go ahead and take up BBM," he said.

Vinay V., a Science student from Mahaveer Jain College, was dejected over not being able to clear one subject. He said: "I will apply for revaluation. I did not think I would fail. I hope I clear the exam so that I can take up engineering."
