Of the candidates from this centre, 17 scored above 600 marks. Ayush secured 300 out of 720, with a total percentile of 73, including 87 in biology and 15 in physics and chemistry. Anurag Yadav, another accused, scored 185 out of 720 with a percentile score of 54.84, achieving 85.8 in physics, 51 in biology, and only 5 in chemistry due to time constraints.
