NEET UG 2023 Result Update: Tamil-Nadu Secured the Highest Number of Top 50 Rankers.

Tamil-Nadu, known for its staunch opposition to the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), secured its highest ever position in the top 50 positions of the exam, emerging as the country’s topper and also emerging as the state came the third highest number of achievers, unlike five years ago when the state had no representation in the toppers league.

NTA released the NEET UG result on Tuesday night, in which four of the top 10 ranks were bagged by candidates from Tamil-Nadu. Prabhanjan J, a resident of Villupuram in Tamil Nadu, jointly topped the exam with Bora Varun Chakraborty from Andhra Pradesh with a perfect score of 720, while Kautav Baori, from the state, secured the third position.
