NEET AIR 13 From Delhi
Harshit Bansal emerged as the topper from Delhi NCR. He scored 715 marks and secured All India Rank 13 in the NEET UG 2023. Harshit studied at Pragati Public School, Dwarka.
Speaking about his preparation, the 18-year-old told Indian Express that he used to study for four hours a day. During the examination month, he used to clock in 8-9 hours for coursework. He said, “I mostly preferred studying at night… Whenever I got stressed and bored, I used to watch TV shows and sometimes go on short outings for 2-3 hours with my family.”
Arvind Kejriwal On Delhi’s Government Schools
This is not the first time that Arvind Kejriwal has congratulated the students who qualified national-level exams like NEET to highlight the quality education provided in the Delhi government schools. Last year, while speaking at an event to felicitate toppers of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and NEET at Thyagaraj Stadium in New Delhi, Kejriwal had said, “Earlier, a perception was created that governments cannot run schools and such schools should be handed over to private players or handled through CSR initiatives.”
“These government schools can be improved the way we did it in Delhi. We provided quality education to students and because of that 1,141 students of our government schools cleared JEE and NEET exams,” he added.
