Chennai stands 3rd, city topper to pursue MBBS

Samuel Rozario from Alwin Memorial Public School, in Selaiyur had scored centum in four of the five subjects. Even as the board did not release a merit list this year, Samuel, who scored centum in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, said his ambition is to become a doctor to serve the poor, especially in Tamil Nadu. “I am preparing for NEET very well to secure a medical seat here,” he claimed.

Sujatha Venkatesh, a Commerce student from Vels Vidyashram, Pallavaram, who secured 495 out of 500, said that good results were due to best training received from her teachers. “Since I got very good coaching, I did not join any private tuition. I studied well and secured good marks,” she said. Last year, Chennai region had secured the second position after Thiruvananthapuram.
