Triplicane greets NEET MDS toppers (1 &2) achieved by twin sisters

Education is the most important thing in life – only Education can truly change the lives, the status of people.  Thiruvalluvar glorified Education and here is one of his Thirukkural : 

ஒருமைக்கண் தான்கற்ற கல்வி ஒருவற்கு

எழுமையும் ஏமாப் புடைத்து.

ஒரு பிறவியிலே தான் கற்ற கல்வியானது,   ஒருவனுக்கு அந்த பிறவியில் மட்டுமல்ல,  தொடர்ந்து வரும் ஏழு பிறப்புக்களிலும் அவனைப் பாதுகாக்கும் சிறப்புடையது ஆகும்  

Much water has flown over the bridge and NEET is well known to all students. The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET (UG), formerly the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT), is an all India pre-medical entrance test for students who wish to pursue undergraduate medical (MBBS), dental (BDS) and AYUSH (BAMS, BUMS, BHMS, etc.) courses in government and private institutions in India and also, for those intending to pursue primary medical qualification abroad.   

Then there is NEET MDS too.   It is an eligibility-cum-ranking examination prescribed as the single entrance examination to various Post Graduate MDS Courses under Dentists Act, 1948. NEET-MDS is a single window entrance examination for Dental PG courses. No other entrance examination, either at state or institution level, shall be valid for entry to MDS Courses as per Dentists Act, 1948. 

The National Board of Examinations (NBE) announced the results for the NEET MDS 2024 exam on April 3. The toppers list includes details such as application numbers, ranks, and scores of the highest achievers. This exam is conducted for over 6,000 post-graduate Dental seats offered in India. NBE conducts the NEET MDS exam in a computer-based mode for a duration of three hours in exam centres located across India. The web reports state Rank no.1 at 772 marks and 2 at 753 

For General/EWS category, the 50th percentile stands at 263. Meanwhile, for SC/ST/OBC (including PwBD of SC/ST/OBC), the cutoff percentile is at 40th percentile, with a score of 230. For General PwBD candidates, the cutoff percentile is slightly lower at 45th percentile, with a score of 246. These cutoffs determine the minimum scores required for candidates to qualify for the NEET MDS examination, ensuring a fair selection process across different categories.  

Triplicanites are elated on hearing the news the National topper and Second are from our area – in fact they are twins.  All India First Rank holder is Dr. Virraja whilst her twin sibling  Dr.  Vasudaa is All India Second.

 

Both of them studied in Sir Sivaswamy Kalayala Mylapore and completed their BDS from Tamil Nadu Government Dental college meritoriously (First UG Neet batch).  Their father Sri TK Anandan is employed in a Private Company while their mother Smt. Saraswathi, is a home maker.   

A glorious achievement (yet nothing has been reported in any media about this extraordinary achievement)  

Hearty congratulations on this special achievement to the twin Doctors and pray our Emperuman Sri Parthasarathi  to shower on them choicest blessings for  glorious completion of their Masters and all good thing in life. 

With great regards – S Sampathkumar
