KANPUR: A girl student has topped All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) in the city on Monday. A boy was on the second spot of the medical entrance examination, the result of which was released on Monday.
Shreya Mattu (AIR 173) has bagged the first place in the city. The medical aspirant said that though she was top ranker in state CMPT, she did not lock seat in any medical college as she was sure to get good rank in AIPMT.
"I was happy after my exam, which went pretty well. After going through the answer key I was expecting a better rank. But I am happy that I got a rank under 200 which would get me good medical college in New Delhi," she said.
With AIR 200, the second spot was taken away by Vineet Gupta, a student of Subhash Public School. Gupta, who scored 88.7% marks in CBSE class XII examination, said that he was sure of a good performance in AIPMT. "I locked a seat in King George Medical University (KGMU) during state CPMT counselling. However, after securing this rank, I am hopeful to get a seat in University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS), New Delhi or BHU, Varanasi. Getting this good rank is a dream come true," he said.
The third place in the city was bagged by Vikas Rajput (AIR-259), fourth place by Shivangi Sachan (AIR-312) while the fifth spot went to Ayushi Agrawal (AIR-412).
The May 3, 2015 AIPMT 2015 exam was cancelled following complaints of paper leak and the Supreme Court asked CBSE to conduct a re-test. The re-test was conducted on June 25 and as per the Apex Court's direction, the results were declared on Monday.
