Ujjain girl emerges zonal topper
With an All India Rank (AIR) of 434, Harshita also secured the top position among girls in Madhya Pradesh.
Harshita moved to Indore in 2023 after Class 10 to pursue JEE coaching at a reputed institute. With a strong aspiration to enter the engineering field, she relocated to a hostel to focus on her studies. However, within a few months, she fell seriously ill, suffering from typhoid followed by pneumonia, which kept her away from studies for nearly one and a half months.
Concerned about her health, her family decided that her 75-year-old maternal grandmother, Madhu Pandviya, would move to Indore to stay with her. Since early 2024, Harshita has been staying in Indore with her grandmother, while her mother, Meghna Goyal, continues to work as a private banker in Ujjain. Speaking about her success, Harshita said, "I expected a good result based on the answer keys, but I never imagined I would top the state.
It was truly surprising."
"Apart from my teachers at the coaching, my mother and grandmother kept me motivated throughout," said Harshita. Harshita believes in strengthening what she already knows before focusing on her weaker areas. Even during the final phase of exam preparation, she prioritised revising her strong subjects.
Additionally, many other students from the city secured high ranks. Chirayu Jain from the city secured AIR 28, while Shantanu Patel secured AIR 174 in the general category and AIR 25 in the OBC category, followed by Atharv Airen with AIR 265. Over 2,100 students from the city appeared for the exam, which was held on May 18. More than 200 students from the city secured AIR ranks between 100 and 1,000 this year. TNN

Low-cost tech to restore skull shape after surgery
Lucknow: Neurosurgeons at Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences have developed a low-cost technique for reconstructing skull defects following brain surgery. The technique uses polymethylmethacrylate, which is shaped on a single, standard skull model to make implants for patients. It is safe, effective and affordable alternative to expensive custom-made implants, biggest advantage being its extremely low cost, about Rs 170, compared to custom 3D-printed PMMA implants that cost Rs 29,000 and titanium implants costing more than Rs 41,500. The study, published in Asian Journal of Neurosurgery, focuses on problems after Retrosigmoid Suboccipital (RMSO) craniotomy—a surgery done to remove tumours from cerebellopontine angle of the brain. The research team, led by Prof D K Singh and Prof Mohammad Kaif, tested their method on 25 patients over one year. In this technique, PMMA implant is shaped on a regular PVC skull model, sterilised and then fitted into the patient's skull through surgery.
