Gujarat’s Nishita Purohit tops AIIMS

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Of nearly 3 lakh candidates, close to 5,000 qualify
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences has announced the results of its MBBS entrance exam after a government panel rejected allegations of question paper leak.
The candidate’s result in the entrance exam forms the basis for admission in AIIMS Delhi and its other centers in Patna, Bhopal, Jodhpur, Bhubaneswar, Rishikesh and Raipur.
A total of 4,905 candidates out of 2,84,737 have qualified.
Nishita Purohit from Surat in Gujarat has notched the top position while Archit Gupta secured the second spot. Notably, all candidates in the top 10 are from the same coaching centre in Rajasthan’s Kota.
AIIMS, New Delhi, is admitting 100 students in this session. “For the first time in its history, AIIMS Delhi will be admitting 100 students,” Dr Ashok Kumar Jaryal, head of exams, AIIMS, said.
The results have been declared after probing question paper leak allegations. Anand Rai, who exposed the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh, had claimed that he had received the question paper screenshots from a source in Lucknow. Rai had sought a CBI inquiry into the issue.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
