B. Sundararajan, 17, a student of Government Higher Secondary School in Chromepet, cleared the NEET in his first attempt scoring 503 marks. The topper from Chengalpattu district was felicitated by the District Educational Officer S. Kannappan on Friday.
Mr. Sundararajan said he hoped to get a seat in the Madras Medical College.
His father G. Balaji said his son prepared on his own and had opted out of a coaching centre after 10 days. “’They only tell me to study, which I can do from home,’ he told us,” said Mr. Balaji, who runs a printing press.
