With 720 out of 720 marks, 18-year-old Soyeb Aftab has hit the bullseye in this year's NEET, topping the coveted exam for admission to undergraduate medical courses.

From Rourkela in Odisha, Soyeb wants to be a cardiologist when he finishes his medical studies.

Giving the exam in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic had its pressures, said Soyeb, but he used the lockdown to study even harder.

"I haven't gone back to my hometown since 2018. I studied around 10 to 12 hours every day," said Soyeb. "I stayed in Kota with my mother and younger sister to study," he added.
