They have come out in flying colours in CET 2010. City students topped in engineering and architecture streams while Mangalore student came first in medical and Indian Systems of Medicine and Homeopathy (ISM&H). Interestingly, in the three streams — medical/dental, ISM&H and engineering — not a single girl has made it to the top 10.
Shanbhag Anil Atmanand, a student of VVS Sardar Patel PU College, stood first in engineering with a score of 97.22%. Soujanya K, a student of National Hill View Public School, Bangalore, bagged the top slot in architecture with a total score of 79.66%. St Aloysius PU College student Akshay B Pattabi came first in medical as well as ISMH.
In medicine, five students from Bangalore — two of them from MES, made it to the top 10. Engineering and architecture has seven and eight students from Bangalore respectively in the top 10.
Medical toppers prefer engineering
Surprisingly, the medical toppers whom The Times of India interviewed, said they did not wish to pursue a career in the same field. The top two rank holders are keen on pursuing engineering.
"I love maths. I have already got through Integrated MS at IISER Thiruvananthapuram. Taking the medical exam was just a last minute decision. I took Biology because it's a pure science. I have also appeared for IIT where they too offer MSc but I am not confident of my IIT results," said Akshay B Pattabi, topper in medicine.
Similar is the case with Sunil N, the second rank holder in medicine. "I was interested in medicine but later my interest switched towards engineering. I have secured fourth rank in engineering as well. I will take electronics and communication from RVCE. Later, I will pursue MBA from IIM-B," said Sunil.
