As soon as the results of NEET UG were declared, there was a wave of happiness among medical aspirants across the country. This year’s examination has not only shown record-breaking talent, but has also put some states on the educational map of the country as ‘medical hubs’. According to the official data of National Testing Agency (NTA), this time a total of more than 1.70 lakh students have set a new benchmark by qualifying the tough exam of NEET UG. Like every year, this time too the dominance of some states has remained intact, where students have secured their place in the list of toppers on the basis of their hard work and strategy.
These states won, dominated the list of toppers
If we analyze the results, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan have given the most successful candidates this year also. The largest number of students have qualified from Uttar Pradesh, which is a testament to the growing coaching culture and better educational facilities in the state. At the same time, due to Kota, the capital of education, the percentage of successful students from Rajasthan has also been at the top in the country. Maharashtra and Delhi-NCR have also performed brilliantly this time, with thousands of students securing their seats in medical colleges with excellent scores.
Why is the number of successful students increasing?
Experts believe that in the last few years, competition among students and availability of better study material have increased the success figures. Online education, better digital platforms and AI-based learning tools have made it possible even for students from rural areas to keep pace with the toppers. This time, a large number of students from Tier-II cities like Lucknow, Patna and Indore have scored above 650, which indicates that NEET preparation is no longer limited to any one city or big metropolis. This figure of 1.70 lakh qualifiers also shows that the enthusiasm and passion among the youth seeking medical education is at its peak.
Preparation for the next step: Counseling and admission phase begins
Now the important phase of counseling is going to start for these 1.70 lakh students who have qualified. Now students will have to apply for seats in government and private medical colleges on the basis of their marks. Experts advise that this time there may be a slight change in the cut-off, so students should be careful while selecting the college of their choice. This counseling process through All India Quota (AIQ) and State Quota will be completed in the coming weeks. Successful students now need to keep their documents ready and keep a constant eye on the counseling portal so that they can get admission in the medical college of their choice.
