NEET UG Success Story: Meet Last Year's AIR 1 Mazin Mansoor, Who Shifted From CBSE To BSEB
Mazin's inspiration to do MBBS also came from his family. He also wanted to become a doctor like his family members which is why he decided to apply for NEET UG.
Meet Mazin Mansoor who secured All India Rank (AIR) 1 in NEET UG 2024. Mazin scored 720 out of 720 marks in the NEET exam. Last year, the toppers list of NEET UG 2024 was revised, after which his counseling rank improved. Earlier his counseling rank was 1.05, which later became 1.03. Apart from Mazin, names of 16 other students were also included in this list in NEET UG exam. His percentile was 99.997129.
A native of Darbhanga, Bihar, 18-year-old Mazin comes from a family of doctors. His father is a pediatrician and works in a government hospital in Saudi Arabia. Similarly, his maternal uncle, maternal aunt, maternal grandfather and grandfather are also doctors. His brother is doing BDS in Sarjug Dental College, Darbhanga and is in the fourth year. Mazin's inspiration to do MBBS also came from his family. He also wanted to become a doctor like his family members which is why he decided to apply for NEET UG.
From CBSE to Bihar Board
Interestingly, CBSE is considered good for competitive exams, but Mazin left CBSE after 10th and shifted to Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB). The reason behind this was that he had told in an interview that he did not want to take the burden of preparing for the board exam. Mazin told that practicals and assignments have to be submitted for every subject in CBSE, but there are no practicals in the final exam in Bihar Board. He said that I knew that the board marks do not matter much in the long run, so I did not take extra tension of practicals and assignments in 12th. Mazin scored 87 per cent marks in the 12th examination of Bihar Board 2024.
After 10th, Mazin took admission in a coaching institute in Bihar. He used to follow the coaching modules and NCERT textbooks. Mazin said that due to coaching, my preparation was going well. I did not have any backlog. Coaching used to end by 1 pm, then I used to go to my room and study biology, chemistry and physics. They did not set a time limit, but tried to complete a topic in the stipulated time. Mazin says that due to coaching he was saved from distractions.
During mock tests, Mazin adopted the strategy of solving Biology first, then Chemistry and finally Physics. Later he felt that this method is not correct. Then he changed his approach – first Chemistry, then Biology and finally Physics. He benefited more with this method.

Experts Call for Creation of "Divyangjan Open School Education & Skill Board" to Empower Persons with Disabilities
VMPL New Delhi [India], August 18: Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), forming the world's largest minority group, remain among the most deprived sections of society--lacking equitable access to education, healthcare, and social security. Despite multiple government initiatives, inclusion in mainstream education continues to be a major challenge. According to estimates, 8-10% of India's 142 crore population is associated with disability conditions. While the 2011 Census recognized 2.68 crore PwDs across 7 disabilities, the 2016 RPWD Act expanded the number of recognized disabilities to 21, raising the present estimate to 8-10 crore persons. Yet, more than a decade after the Right to Education Act (RTE) and the RPWD Act 2016, the majority of Divyangjan remain outside the formal education system. The Education Gap * Out of an estimated 10 crore PwDs, only about 22 lakh students have been able to join inclusive CBSE schools. * High dropout rates persist before Class 10 and Class 12, eliminating access to higher education, scholarships, and employment schemes that require minimum school qualifications. * Despite the National Education Policy's emphasis on inclusive education, most schools lack trained special educators, assistive resources (Braille, sign language, sensory kits, IEPs) and barrier-free infrastructure. * India has 20 lakh schools, yet the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) has trained only 1.5 lakh special educators to date--making quality inclusive education practically inaccessible. This has resulted in a cycle where employment, loans, and skill development schemes remain on paper for Divyangjan due to lack of basic educational qualifications. Structural Gaps in Inclusive Education * The Ministry of Education relies heavily on RCI-trained special educators but there is an acute shortage. * Inclusive schools often have only one special educator catering to multiple disability types, forcing group teaching instead of the mandated Individualized Education Program (IEP). * Exams, curriculum, and pedagogy remain non-personalized, making it nearly impossible for visually impaired, hearing impaired, and intellectually disabled students to thrive together in a single classroom. The Way Forward - A Dedicated Board for Divyangjan Experts emphasize that India's vision of becoming a developed nation cannot be achieved without empowering its 8-10 crore PwD population. To address this urgent issue, there is a strong call for the establishment of a "Divyangjan Open School Education and Skill Board" at the central level. This proposed board would: * Function like other specialized boards (Urdu, Sanskrit, Vedic, Madrasa, Gurukul Boards). * Provide home-based, open school, and customized education pathways for PwDs. * Offer specialized curricula, teaching methods, resources, and skill training suited to the 21 recognized disabilities. * Enable Divyangjan to pursue quality education, vocational training, and employment opportunities on a where-is basis. Quote "The vision of a developed India is incomplete without the empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. Establishing a Divyangjan Open School Education and Skill Board is not just an educational reform, it is a national necessity," said Mukesh G Gupta, Vision Divyang Foundation. About Vision Divyang Foundation Vision Divyang Foundation is committed to advocating for policies, systems, and resources that enable the holistic development and empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. Through research, awareness, and action, the foundation works to integrate Divyangjan into India's mainstream progress.
