India's Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) results for Grades 10 and 12 for 2025 are out, and Indian expat students in the UAE have once again proven their academic mettle. Three students from GEMS Education schools in Dubai have topped the charts in their respective grades, based on results shared by schools as of 5pm yesterday.

Hafeed Meera Shahul Hameed from GEMS Our Own Indian School, Dubai, and Rishab Sinha from Mayoor Private School in Abu Dhabi are the highest scorers in the UAE as of yesterday evening, achieving 99.6 per cent in Grade 10 board exams.

“This achievement would not have been possible without the constant support of my parents, the guidance of my teachers, and the encouragement of my friends. I am deeply grateful to each one of them,” an elated Hafeed said.

He called this success a stepping stone in a much bigger journey.

“There are many more steps to climb, challenges to face, and lessons to learn because the pursuit of knowledge never ends,” he added.
