If we look at the centre-wise data by NTA, then we will see that over 27,000 candidates appeared at exam centres in Sikar, out of which over 4,200 have scored above 600 and more than 2,000 students have scored above 450. NEET results show that Sikar is fast emerging as a coaching hub, thereby giving direct competition to Kota

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the NEET Exam results, under which city- and centre-wise results have been released. Some shocking figures have emerged in these results, wherein a total of 67 students in the country got 720 out of 720 marks. Whereas 149 students of Sikar district got more than 700 marks and 4 got 720 marks. Only 74 students at Kota got more than 700 marks. This time, Sikar has beaten Rajasthan edu hub Kota, as 55 out of the top 1000 students of the country are from Sikar. At Vidya Bharti Centre, located in Todi Nagar of Sikar district, 7 students got more than 700 marks.

The NEET results have even surprised the teachers in Sikar after students secured record-breaking marks. It may be noted that after allegations of irregularities in the NEET UG exam results, the Supreme Court cancelled the grace marks and conducted the examination of 1563 students again, of which about 800 students wrote the exam again. After the release of new results, now there will be a hearing in the Supreme Court on Monday, in which these new data will be kept.

After the NTA, which was mired in controversy over the paper leak, released the results of more than 32 lakh students, the names of many cities have come to light where the success percentage was several times higher than the national average. Amid these results, one thing that has emerged is that many coaching centres have come up in Sikar that are preparing children for IIT, NEET, and other competitive exams, and their results are also good. Sikar is fast emerging as another education hub in Rajasthan after Kota, and the special thing is that in Sikar, due to the open environment as compared to Kota and the direct control of the administration on private coaching institutes, student suicide cases are negligible here.

Experts say that as Sikar is an emerging hub, the students mostly are from nearby rural areas, and for them, their focus is on studying, so issues like stress are alien to them. Over the years, the formula of Sikar’s success can be attributed to hard work, accuracy, and consistency. Every year, 20,000 to 25,000 students come here with the dream of becoming doctors or engineers. Thanks to this trust even the parents have started putting their trust here.

Another reason for Sikar’s fast emergence as a coaching hub is that here the district administration keeps a keen eye on private coaching institutes. All private educational institutions have to give the data of students and teachers working in coaching institutes to the administration. Every month, there is a meeting between coaching institutes and the administration where the institutes have to give their complete report. The collector himself monitors this meeting.

If we look at the centre-wise data by NTA, then we will see that over 27,000 candidates appeared at exam centres in Sikar, out of which over 4,200 have scored above 600 and more than 2,000 students have scored above 450. NEET results show that Sikar is fast emerging as a coaching hub, thereby giving direct competition to Kota.
