Chennai boy tops Tamil Nadu engineering, MBBS counselling rank lists

Chennai :

It is a double delight for Sundar Natesh of Chennai who topped the engineering counselling rank list released by Anna University on Monday.

Sundar, 18, also topped the MBBS rank list released by the Directorate of Medical Education on Saturday. “Medicine is my obvious choice, and I will opt to study in Madras Medical College,” said Sundar, who was a student of DAV Higher Secondary School, Gopalapuram.

“I expected to score centum in all subjects but I didn’t think I’ll come first in the MBBS ranking because so many of them have scored full marks in all subjects,” he said. “So, I’m surprised and excited that I topped both medicine and engineering counselling lists.”

Sunder wants to specialise on cardiology.

The chances of the names of toppers appearing on the rank lists of both streams of study is high this year as the top 132 students had scored full 200 marks in physics, chemistry, biology and math on the MBBS/ BDS rank list.

Counselling for engineering seats will begin on June 27.
