"Why Go To Protest When I Could Study, Improve My Score": NEET All India Rank 2 To NDTV

Panshul Bansal, who achieved a 99.9999 percentile in the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination, shared his perspective on the recent examination controversies. He noted that while the initial cancellation of the national medical entrance test was discouraging, he chose to dedicate his time to further preparation rather than participating in public demonstrations.

The topper explained that his priority remained his study schedule, questioning the utility of protesting when he could instead work on improving his performance. This focused approach allowed him to maintain his competitive edge throughout the period of administrative uncertainty surrounding the testing process.

The re-examination was conducted following allegations of irregularities and paper leaks in the initial testing cycle. Bansal's achievement places him among the leading candidates in one of the most competitive academic assessments in the country. Source: NDTV
