Securing the fourth position, BVM-Chinchbhavan surpassed GH Raisoni School, Ambazari, based on the cumulative scores across all three rounds.

Kedar was convicted by a sessions court for misappropriating bank funds, resulting in a five-year prison sentence that led to the loss of his MLA status and a subsequent six-year ban on contesting elections. Despite an earlier refusal of relief by the High Court, Kedar hopes for a favorable decision from the Supreme Court to allow him to participate in the electoral process.
