The NEET (UG) exam results saw Telugu students bagging good ranks this year though not many were in the top 10 ranks with Errabelli Siddarth Rao securing the fifth rank at the all India level in the open category.
Majority of the rankers from the Telugu states were from the institutions belonging to the Narayana Group and Sri Chaitanya Institutions. A statement from Sri Chaitanya institutions said that its students bagged top ranks in all categories, including Jadhav Varad Vaibhav (2nd), Gulla Harsha Vardhan Naidu (3rd), Errabelli Siddarth Rao (5th), Arpith Narang (7th) and Krishna S.R. (8th).
In the open category, the institute got 17 ranks in the top 100, while it got 14 people in the top 10 ranks and 69 in top 100, including all categories. “This stands as a remarkable feat as the most number of seats in top national medical colleges would be seized by Sri Chaitanya students,” said Sushma Boppana, academic director of Sri Chaitanya Educational Institution.
