Boys corner lion’s share in CET 2018 top honours

BENGALURU: Boys walked away with most sensible honours in the Karnataka Common Entrance Test 2018. Only 4 ladies figured amongst 13 students who bagged the top 5 ranks in 4 streams of engineering, agriculture, veterinary sciences and pharmacy.

Shridhar Dodamani of Excellent PU Science College, Vijayapura, bagged the top rank in engineering and agriculture, while Vineet Megur of Shaheen PU College, Bidar, secured the first fit in veterinary sciences and Tuhin Girinath, Narayana E Techno School, Kundanahalli, Bengaluru, in pharmacy. Tuhin stood fourth in engineering. Aneeta James of National Public School, Indiranagar, was ranked fifth, and stood second in pharmacy.

The results, announced on Friday, were delayed as the upper education division awaited a minister to take charge. The Karnataka Examinations Authority sought approval from leader minister HD Kumaraswamy to allow officers to announce the effects. The development of boys outnumbering ladies as toppers is a continuation of the final 12 months’s results. Only 5 of 13 toppers are from Bengaluru. While 5 different toppers are from North Karnataka, two are from Dakshina Kannada district and one is from Tumakuru district.

Narayan Pai from Sharada Independent PU College from Dakshina Kannada was ranked second in engineering, adopted by way of Debarsho Sannyasi from Jindal Vidya Mandira, Ballari. All engineering toppers are anticipating result of JEE Advanced, the gateway to IITs. Aneeta is waiting for NEET results too, although computer science is her first preference.
