Meet NEET UG topper who got 720 marks out of 720, cleared JEE with 99.9 percentile, not only by studying but..., name is... It's not a cup of tea for anyone to crack the toughest entrance examination, especially NEET. Lakhs of students appear for the competitive examinations such as NEET, JEE, CUET to get admission in their desired colleges and institutions. After Class 12th, students who wish to pursue an engineering degree appear for the Joint Entrance Examination. At the same time, students aiming for an MBBS must qualify through the NEET examination. Have you ever heard of anyone who has cleared both JEE and NEET? Of course, yes, there have been a few exceptional students who have cleared both JEE and NEET, India's two toughest entrance exams for engineering and medical studies, respectively. This Indian genius studied just 4 hours a day, scored a perfect 720 marks out of 720 in the NEET exam, cracked the JEE exam with 99.9 percentile, and he is… Mrinal Kutteri, who hails from Hyderabad, spent his childhood there along with his parents, younger brother, and grandparents. Though his family hailed from Kerala, it is interesting to note that none of his close relatives are medical professionals. Mrinal Kutteri developed an interest in biology and chemistry from Classes 8 and 9. His serious preparation for NEET commenced in Class 11 and continued for 3.5 years, with guidance from Aakash Institute. During an interview with India Today in 2021, the NEET topper revealed, 'I wanted to initially become an army doctor and live a life of medicine and adventure, but that gradually turned into an interest mainly in medicine. Also, the pandemic had an impact as it was inspiring to see doctors all across the world on the frontlines. Mrinal Kutteri has been a passionate gamer since Class 8. Speaking of his educational qualification, Mrinal Kutteri has got 98.16% in his ICSE Class 10 boards and 88.6% in Class 12 boards. Though he wrote some Olympiads, SpellBees, and quizzes in Class 10, he devoted his major attention to NEET preparation from Classes 11-12. The transition from offline to online learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic affected many students' learning experience. But Mrinal enjoyed the change first. Mrinal remembered how, at first, he used to enjoy having much free time during the time of lockdown so that he could give more importance to his hobbies than to his studies. But later his studies went down, and ultimately, he had to experience some time of adjustment before getting back to his routine. Unlike most of the high scorers, he never followed a rigid study schedule. Mrinal admitted that he liked an open style of learning more than sticking to a routine. He felt that spending time creating and attempting to stick to a strict schedule, only to realize it was hard to keep up with, would be a waste of time. In class 12, he had given KVPY and JEE Main without any other preparation apart from his NEET studies. In spite of that, he scored an impressive 99.9 percentile in his JEE Main exam. Hyderabad's Mrinal Kutteri was the NTA NEET 2021 entrance exam topper with All India Rank 1 and a score of 720 out of 720. While speaking with India Today(2021), the NEET topper shared, 'So, I went for a free-form and flexible pattern. I set a goal for each day and how I achieved it was up to me. There were many days when I couldn't achieve the goal, but it was not about getting demotivated or discouraged. Being okay with this free form is what I think really helped me.' Mrinal noted that his study hours fluctuated greatly from day to day. While there were times when he felt extremely productive, there were also days when he couldn't study at all. Despite the variations in his study pattern, Mrinal stated that on average, he studied for around 4 hours each day, and on especially productive days, he managed around 5 hours, in addition to his college duties. But he never went beyond that. As per a Zee News report, Mrinal successfully balanced academics with leisure. To unwind and stay motivated, he often turned to comedy series on Netflix and Prime Video, using light-hearted entertainment as a way to relieve stress. Music played a key role in Mrinal's daily routine, with artists like Taylor Swift and Linkin Park topping his playlist. Their songs served as both motivation and a tool to maintain focus during study sessions. A passionate gamer from Class 8, Mrinal had to pull back from playing during Classes 11 and 12 as he concentrated on his studies. But after NEET, he came back to his favourite pastime eagerly, immersing himself in games such as Rainbow Six and Battlefield on his PlayStation 5.

Tata memorial hosp raises 2.8 cr for scholarships for pediatric cancer survivors
Mumbai: Mrinal (name changed) was 18 months old when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and underwent treatment at Tata Memorial Hospital in Parel. Last year, when the 19-year-old Badlapur resident got admission to biomedical engineering in a city college, the premier cancer hospital paid her tuition fees and will financially support her for the rest of her education. She is one of the 40 engineering students to receive scholarships from the hospital in the last four years. In fact, the public hospital has, through corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds, raised Rs 2.8 crore to help 918 students who fought cancer and are pursuing courses ranging from medicine to computer science in the last four years. According to data released by TMC to coincide with Childhood Cancer Survivor Month in June, it raised Rs 1.4 crore in 2024-25 to help 421 students who were previously treated at TMC's seven centres across the country. TMC, which functions under the department of atomic energy, registered 3,876 children in the 0-15 age group for treatment at its various hospitals. Across India, roughly 75,000 new cases of childhood cancer are diagnosed each year, accounting for about 3–4% of all cancer cases in the country. This number is rising due to improved awareness, diagnostic capabilities, and access to care. "As more and more children are being cured of cancer, the number of childhood cancer survivors registered at TMC's after completion of therapy (ACT) clinic continues to grow," said Shalini Jatia of TMC's ImPaCCT Foundation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo As the number of survivors grows, there is a need to support their long-term well-being and reintegration into society, she said while explaining TMC's support for their education.

The majority of the beneficiaries, like Mrinal, hail from Maharashtra, while 35% of the 918 beneficiaries are from other states. TMC doctors said that education has been "one of the most transformative aspects" of its survivorship programme. "What began as a small effort through the ImPaCCT School Programme has now grown into a robust educational support system," said Jatia, adding that the programme also helps restore the youngsters' confidence. |

Amazing! Meet Mrinal Kutteri who scored full 720/720 in NEET and 99.9% in JEE by NOT just studying but by watching... Joint Entrance Examination: The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), which is considered the entry gate for admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), is one of the toughest entrance exams not only in India but in the entire world. Every year, thousands of students from across the country aspire to secure a seat in IIT by clearing both JEE Main and JEE Advanced exams. We are talking about one such extraordinary person who not only cleared the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) but also cracked IIT-JEE. For getting through exams like this, one needs to go through rigourous traning, unmatched dedication and a bit of luck. Mrinal Kuteeri, who hails from Hyderabad, lives with his parents, younger brother and grandparents. Mrunal developed a keen interest in biology and chemistry since class 8-9. He started preparing for the NEET exam when he was in class 11. In an interview with India Today in 2021, the NEET topper shared, 'I initially wanted to become an army doctor and lead a life full of medicine and adventure, but gradually it changed to an interest primarily in medicine. Also, the pandemic had an impact as it was inspiring to see doctors across the world on the frontlines.' During the COVID-19 pandemic, many students' learning experiences were affected by the shift from offline to online learning. However, Mrunal initially enjoyed the change when he felt he had a lot of free time when the lockdown began, allowing him to prioritise his interests over his studies. However, he eventually had to go through an adjustment phase before he could re-establish his routine, as it had a detrimental effect on his academic performance. Unlike many top scorers, he did not follow a strict study regimen. Mrunal admitted that instead of strictly following a schedule, she preferred a flexible approach to studying. She thought that just trying to make and follow a strict timetable would be a waste of time and difficult to follow. In an interview, the NEET topper shared, 'So, I opted for a free-form and flexible pattern. I set a target for each day and it was up to me to achieve it. There were many days when I couldn't achieve the target, but it wasn't about getting disappointed or discouraged. Being okay with this free form is what I think really helped me.' Mrinal claimed that his study hours varied on day-to-day basis. He had days when he couldn't study at all, as well as moments when he felt extremely productive. Even though his study schedule varied, Mrinal said that in addition to his study responsibilities, he would often study for four hours every day, and on particularly productive days, he would manage to get up to five hours in, but he never did more than that. He did not prepare much for KVPY and JEE Main exams in class 12 as compared to his NEET preparation. He cleared his JEE Main exam with 99.9 percentile. Mrinal Kuteri from Hyderabad scored 720 out of 720 to top the NTA NEET 2021 entrance exam and secured All India Rank 1.
