According to Isha Ambani Piramal, vice-chairperson of DAIS, the outstanding accomplishment of the IBDP students from the class of 2023, with 11 of them attaining the perfect score of 45, underscores their talent and diligent effort. She credited this achievement to the exceptional commitment and dedication of the school’s teachers and leadership team.
