Held on May 7 and conducted in 507 centres in state, it's the qualifying exam for students seeking admission to MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, physiotherapy and BSc (nursing) courses in state.
The state topper is Harshitha Shetty from Pune (199/200), second ranker is Amit Dasputra from Nagpur (198/200), while third ranker is Afrid Jaipuri from Akola (197/200) and fourth is Mumbai boy Tanmay Borade (197/200).
Tanmay is the city topper.
A resident of Malad and student of Prakash College in Kandivli, Tanmay said, "My mother and my elder sister have been my pillars. My goal was to get admission in a government medical college, not private, as one gets to learn a lot in a government medical college." His father Dr Suresh Borade, a general practitioner, passed away in 2009.
From Vidarbha, 37,315 candidates appeared, out of which 10,239 cleared the test, with the pass percentage being 27.44. In Marathwada, 41,331 candidates appeared and 9,400 cleared, with a pass percentage of 20.80.
The selection process for admission to health science courses will be conducted by filling a preference form at four centres — Grant Medical College in Mumbai, BJ Medical College in Pune, Government Medical College in Nagpur and Government Medical College in Aurangabad.
DMER director Pravin Shingare said, "The result this year is very good compared to last year. The reason is we omitted syllabus of Std XI and introduced state board HSC syllabus for the test. Another benefit was that there was no negative marking this year."
