NEET UG 2024 Topper Mazin Mansoor (File)
NEET Success Story: Mazin Mansoor, a young man from Darbhanga, Bihar, has secured the coveted All India Rank (AIR) 1 in the revised in NEET UG 2024 results by scoring a perfect 720 out of 720 marks. 18-year-old Mazin comes from a family of doctors, with his father, grandfather, maternal uncle, aunts, and several other relatives being doctors. Who is NEET Topper Mazin Mansoor?
Born in a family of doctors, Mazin Mansoor aspired to follow in the footsteps of his father and other relatives, from an early age.

Additionally, his brother is pursuing a BDS degree at the Sarjug Dental College Darbhangha and is now in his fourth year. Moved to Bihar Board from CBSE because…
After clearing his Class 10th exams, Mazin Mansoor made a bold choice to shift to a school which operated under the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), even as CBSE is generally considered to be a good choice for aspirants who wish to take competitive exams.
In an interview, Mazin revealed that idea behind his choice to shift to BSEB was that it would provide him more time to prepare for NEET as the Bihar Board, unlike the CBSE, does not have any practical and assignments for Class 12th final exams. 'I realized that whatever your score is in board exams does not matter in competitive exams. I changed to BSEB so I did not have to stress about submitting assignments and practical tests, which is required for every subject in CBSE class 12th,' he said.
Mazin Mansoor passed Bihar Board 2024 Class 12 exams with flying colours, scoring an impressive 87% marks, and later cleared the NEET UG exams in the same year, sharing the AIR 1 with 16 other students by obtaining 99.997129 percentile. Mazin's AIR for counselling in the June 2024 result was 1.05, which has now improved to 1.03 after the results were revised. Mazin Mansoor NEET preparation strategy
Talking about his preparation for NEET UG 2024, Mazin Mansoor revealed that after class 10th, he joined a coaching institute in Bihar, and followed coaching modules and NCERT textbooks to augment his studies. 'Coaching classes ended by 1 pm, after that I would go head to my room to revise what I had learnt,' the 18-year-old said.
Mazin further revealed that he solved mock tests, prioritizing Biology first, then Chemistry and finally Physics. However, he later realized that his strategy was not working, which made him change his approach by taking on Chemistry first, then Biology and lastly Physics.

One such individual is IFS Shreya Tyagi, a brilliant young woman who cracked the UPSC CSE as many as four times, each time bettering her previous rank, and ultimately emerging as a topper with an All India Rank (AIR) of 31, but turned down the coveted IAS cadre because her goal was to join Indian Foreign Service (IFS).

27-year-old IIM student pens 'smart study' book for exam aspirants
Yugantar Gupta, a 27-year-old IIM Ahmedabad student, recently created a stir by declaring he earned a top grade for an assignment he prepared using ChatGPT at the country's top management school. The young man has always believed in working smarter than harder, a strategy he shares in his book for aspirants. Gupta, a qualified chartered accountant and a company secretary (all-India rank 12), scored a 99.58 percentile in the CAT exam held in 2023 and is pursuing MBA from the prestigious institute. His book-- 'STUDY SMART- The Ultimate Exam Guide'-- came out in 2024 to provide a "complete clarity" to students who are vying for their deserved place in the world by succeeding through a variety of competitive exams conducted in the country like JEE, CLAT, NEET, CUET, UPSC, CA, CS and even the school boards. The volume runs into 50 chapters with just over 200 pages. Also read: Rhodes scholarship for studying at University of Oxford to be available to more Indians from 2028 It talks about a host of topics ranging from 'how to study specifically for exams', 'managing distractions' to guiding students on diet, sleep, physical, emotional and mental health, preparing and sticking to the timetable with certain segments that guide them to deal with people's comments and also their own thoughts. Gupta says he spoke to "hundreds of people" across the exam spectrum--those who are currently studying, those who have succeeded, those who failed, those who succeeded after failing etc.-- before penning his thoughts. Also read: Study abroad: University of Strathclyde opens applications for MSc Artificial Intelligence & Applications course "Through this process, I've come across insights that can transform your exam journey completely. This research covered almost every exam in India. The strategies given here are a compilation of the exam preparation strategies of rank holders in UPSC, CA, CS, JEE, NEET, CLAT, CAT, CUET, 10th and 12th," he writes. The book, according to the author, tries to cover "every possible mistake" students can make in their exam journeys and it gives specific, practical and actionable advice. How to maintain concentration, improve memory, manage time and score higher are discussed across the headers. A full chapter is dedicated to creating an 'Accountability Partner' who can be any person close to a student-- someone who can motivate them, give them rewards and punishments, and can be handed over their mobile phone in order "to keep all distraction away". Also read: Study abroad: Pursue MA International Development at University of Sheffield, applications open; check course details His suggestions to the aspirants and students are straight: Keep things simple. Trust your knowledge. Trust your preparation. Trust your hard work. "Trust is the sole important thing today. You won't even remember what you got in a couple of years," he says in the book. The book also goes in detail to discuss the otherwise mundane-looking subjects like choosing an appropriate table and chair for studying and ensuring proper lighting in the study room apart from the pros and cons of joining a coaching class. The young achiever created news about a month back when he posted on his LinkedIn that he used the ChatGPT AI tool while preparing his project on cosmetics and got an A in assessment by his professors. Plagiarism is completely prohibited but AI (Artificial Intelligence) use is allowed (at IIM Ahmedabad), he posted on the social networking platform while explaining why he did what he did during the assignment. While AI tools are there to help a researcher, he said, no one is going to pay you anything anymore for researching or writing reports off the internet. "One can only add value if you can get something that's not available on the internet - personal experiences, expert interviews, original surveys, observational studies and talking to stakeholders," he posted on the social networking platform. Gupta concluded that post by quoting American entrepreneur Steve Blank, who said 'Get out of the building'.
