India, April 30 -- LUCKNOW Sweets, drum beats, floral garlands and ringtones marked celebrations of success as students across schools in Lucknow were on cloud 9 soon after the CISCE announced the Class 10 and 12 results on Wednesday. Some students also donned capes as they became part of felicitation ceremonies.

Aanya Mishra, a student of La Martiniere Girls' College, who scored 97.8% marks in ICSE, said she was terrified when she heard about the announcement of results.

"We had anticipated the results in May first week, but after the sudden declaration of results, we all got nervous. When the result was in front of my eyes, I was ecstatic. I am still trying to soak in the feelings," said Aanya who aspires to become a lawyer.
