kolkata the fab19 of ramakrishna mission vidyalaya narendrapur who stunned the state by sweeping the higher secondary merit list have failed to match up to the jee test the only rank holder is raktim mitra who stood fifth in hs andstood second in wbjeeengineering the next best is mrinmoy roy who stood third in hs and has secured 15th rank in jeemedical and 691 in engineering hs topper bilwasiva basu mallick has managed 410 in jeeengineering and monirul mondal who stood second in hs despite adversity has managed 478 rank in medical so why this dichotomy raktim feels that wbjee is a much tougher examination if you look at the trend those who rank in hs dont usually find a matching rank in wbjee the format of wbjee is much different and requires application simply reading the book thoroughly does not suffice it requires skill to apply the acquired knowledge said raktim what worked for him was that he always kept wbjee in focus alongside hs said raktim my target is iitjeeadvance whose question pattern is similar to wbjee so you need not prepare for the two separately i am waiting for the iitjee results raktim added mrinmoy said he would study medicine because it is a noble profession i live in a village and it is my duty to serve people i expected this result but did not feel that i would secure such high rank in medical i have prepared for all three examinations it takes tenacity and i devoted myself to studies for the last two years i have been very positive in my approach my engineering rank is a little low since i have not concentrated on mathematics much as i did on biology my aim was to have a good rank in jeemedical he said bilwasiva hopes to study electrical or computer science at bitspilani where he has fared better than wbjee i was never good at competitive examinations it requires a different kind of preparation practicing to solve problems within a time frame and attempting multiplechoice questions was never my cup of tea moreover to attempt six hours of examination in one day requires a lot of concentration and tenacity which i lack the hs topper said candidly midnapore boy akash dasgupta who stood 4th in hs has a wbjeemedical rank of 230 i would have got a better rank had i not attempted so many questions i was done in by negative marking i am waiting for the aiims results but would prefer to study at nrs medical college he said akashs schoolmate and fourthranker pabitra pramanik is way behind at 2128 in jeemedical his mother shefali seemed anxious we expected him to get a much better rank he was always interested in mathematics and his hs score will get him an honours seat in one of the top colleges in kolkata she said abhik halder who stood fifth in hs has secured 94th rank in jeemedical my son is upset since yesterday
