TOI stated that they were not able to verify whether the marksheets belonged to the same individual.

Local sources told the paper that the student was a girl from Ahmedabad enrolled in a coaching class. They also stated that she was enrolled as a ‘dummy’ student in a nearby school while attending coaching classes in Ahmedabad’s city science centre.

The student’s board mark sheet showed that she only scored 21 marks in physics, 31 in chemistry, 39 in biology and 59 in English. 

School sources told TOI that her parents who are doctors had been called in to discuss her poor results. She had apparently dropped out of her coaching centres two months into class 12th.

Her shocking results of 705 out of 720 marks made her one of the top performers in Gujarat.

The student’s NEET scores show a 99.8 percentile in physics, 99.1 percentile in chemistry and 99.1 percentile in biology as well, making her overall 99.9 percentile.

While her scores would usually ensure her admission into the top colleges in India, due to her inability to secure 50 per cent minimum marks in the 12th boards, she won’t be able to meet the eligibility criteria for medical school.
