Devina Gahlot, daughter of BJP MLA Kailash Gahlot, has emerged as the national topper in the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG exam. She scored 98% in her Class 12 board examinations and secured the top rank in CUET-UG 2026.
Devina attributed her success to discipline, consistency, and regular revision, rather than long hours of studying. She credited her parents, teachers, and school for helping her navigate the challenges of preparing for CUET.
Devina plans to pursue English Honours, driven by her interest in literature, reading, and writing. She is also considering a future in journalism and has not ruled out entering public life, having grown up watching her father serve as an MLA and minister.
