PANJIM: After cracking the IIT-JEE advanced with the 77th rank, Panjim lad Pratheek Oscar Rebello on Thursday added another feather to his cap when he clinched the 86th all-India ranking at the AIIMS entrance. He scored 308 out of 366. Pratheek has, however, decided to join IIT Mumbai’s Electrical Engineering stream.
“Great news Pratheek cracks 86th rank at AIIIMS entrance. Very rare, someone cracking a rank in top 100 in JEE Advanced and AIIMS, two of the toughest entrance exams in the world,” said Mustifund Aryans HSS, Principal, Vyankatesh Prabhudesai.
Rebello had ranked 96th in the country at the Kishore Vigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) examination in the PCM (physics-chemistry-mathematics) category. In 2015, Rebello’s Class X ICSE board score had placed him 4th across India.
Pratheek, who topped GCET by scoring 144 out of 150, topped the crucial Birla Institute of Technology and Science Aptitude Test (BITSAT) 2017 by scoring 426 out of 450, the best ever score by any student from the Aryaan’s.
He had scored 95.3 percent in the recently held Class XII examination.
