Het Shah (18) from Gujarat scored 685 out of 720 marks to grab the All India Rank (AIR) 1 while Ekansh Goyal (18) from Odisha and Nikhil Bajiya (17) from Rajasthan bagged AIR 2 and 3 respectively in NEET, results of which were announced yesterday, said Brajesh Maheshwari, director of Allen Career Institute.
All three top rankers had been studying in Kota for two years for NEET preparation, he added.
"Regular and concentrated studies for 5 to 6 hours can lead one to success," Nikhil said.
"Het never bothered about rank but his focus was on performance," Het's father Sanjay Shah said.
"We never pressurised our son to secure a rank but Het decided to come to Kota two years ago," he added.
For Sanjay Goyal, father of AIR 2 holder Ekansh Goyal, son's success in NEET is "unbelievable" and "extremely amazing".
"Securing AIR 2 out of lakhs of aspirants is really unbelievable and amazing", Goyal said.
