AHMEDABAD, JULY 18
In a resounding endorsement of disciplined preparation, world-class mentoring and unwavering determination, ALLEN Career Institute, Ahmedabad, has delivered one of its finest-ever performances in NEET-UG 2026, with four students securing places among India’s Top-100 and three earning coveted positions in the Top-50, setting a new benchmark for medical entrance coaching in Gujarat.
The landmark achievement comes in one of the country’s toughest competitive examinations, where 38,146 students qualified from Gujarat. Amid this intense competition, ALLEN Ahmedabad’s students emerged among India’s brightest future doctors, demonstrating that perseverance, scientific learning methodologies and expert guidance remain the most reliable formula for success.
Leading the remarkable performance is Shaurya, who scored 700 out of 720 marks to secure All India Rank (AIR) 26, followed closely by Akshit with AIR 30 after also scoring 700 marks. Hiya, who secured AIR 43, emerged as the Gujarat Girls Topper, while Premal finished with AIR 93, completing ALLEN Ahmedabad’s remarkable presence in the country’s Top-100. Dhyan secured AIR 101, narrowly missing the coveted century club.
The Ahmedabad centre also registered impressive year-on-year improvements, increasing its tally from 2 to 3 students in the Top-50, 3 to 4 in the Top-100, 8 to 10 in the Top-500, and 13 to 14 in the Top-1000, underlining the institute’s consistent upward trajectory.
Congratulating the achievers and their families, Nitin Kukreja, CEO, ALLEN Career Institute, said the results reaffirmed ALLEN’s undisputed leadership in medical entrance coaching.
“ALLEN has once again established its supremacy in NEET-UG results. Among the results compiled so far, ALLEN students have secured 5 ranks in the Top-10, 10 in the Top-20, 23 in the Top-50 and an impressive 46 in the Top-100 nationwide. Out of the 138 candidates across India scoring 690 marks and above, 63 belong to ALLEN. These outstanding achievements reflect the dedication of our students, the trust of parents and the commitment of our faculty.”
Sharing the national perspective, Pankaj Kabra, Vice President, ALLEN Gujarat and Zonal Head, said the institute had once again dominated the national rankings, with Aryan Gupta securing AIR-1, Panshul Bansal AIR-2, Ayush Bhalotia AIR-4, Aryan Dubey AIR-7 and Gaurav Singh AIR-9, highlighting ALLEN’s continued academic leadership across India.
‘AI Can Enhance Learning, But It Can Never Replace Understanding’
Congratulating the students, parents and faculty, Pankaj Baldi, Center Head, ALLEN Ahmedabad, attributed the spectacular performance to authentic mentoring, disciplined preparation and unwavering teamwork.
“The milestone achieved by the students of ALLEN Ahmedabad at both the national and state levels proves that with the right guidance, an authentic education system and firm determination, any ambitious goal can be achieved. We are especially proud of Hiya for emerging as the Gujarat Girls Topper, and of Shaurya and Akshit for securing Top-30 All India Ranks with 700 marks. This remarkable success is the outcome of the collective efforts of our faculty, the relentless dedication of our teachers and the year-long hard work of our students.”
Responding to questions on the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence in education, Baldi said AI has become an effective academic enabler but should never replace conceptual learning.
“Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming education. At ALLEN, we use AI tools to complement both our classroom and virtual coaching, enabling students to analyse their performance, personalise revision strategies and strengthen conceptual clarity. AI platforms, including tools such as ChatGPT, can become smart study companions when used responsibly, but they can never replace genuine understanding, critical thinking or consistent practice.”
Speaking about the impact of the re-examinations, he added: “The second examination proved to be more favourable for many students, leading to a significant improvement in their marks as well as All India Ranks. However, the uncertainty created by the re-examination posed a major emotional challenge. Our biggest responsibility was to keep the morale of students high during this difficult phase, and our mentors, counsellors and faculty stood firmly beside them throughout the journey.”
‘Believe in Yourself, Success Will Follow’
Expressing his delight after securing AIR-26, Shaurya Patel described the achievement as the culmination of years of disciplined preparation.
“Achieving All India Rank 26 in NEET-UG 2026 feels like a dream come true. This success is not merely the result of my individual effort but of the continuous guidance and support provided by the experienced faculty at ALLEN Ahmedabad. The doubt counters, national-level test series and personalised mentoring helped me overcome every weakness. Whenever pressure mounted, my mentors always inspired me to stay focused and confident.”
When asked, “If you had one minute to address the millions of students preparing for NEET next year, what would be your message?”, Shaurya offered an inspiring message:
“Never allow temporary setbacks to define your future. Perseverance, resilience, ethical competition and unwavering belief in yourself will always pay rich dividends. Stay disciplined, trust the process, learn from every mistake and remember that consistent effort eventually transforms dreams into reality.”
Shaurya’s proud parents also acknowledged the institute’s holistic approach.
“Like every parent, we had several apprehensions when we entrusted our son’s dream to ALLEN Ahmedabad. The way the faculty nurtured not only academic excellence but also the students’ emotional well-being and confidence strengthened our faith. Today, Shaurya’s success is a matter of immense pride for our family, and we sincerely thank the dedicated faculty and mentors for making this dream possible.”
Echoing similar sentiments, Hiya Vasavada, Gujarat Girls Topper, and other successful students said: “Choosing ALLEN’s authentic academic system was one of the best decisions of our lives. Every rank reflects countless hours of disciplined study, determination and the sacrifices made by our teachers and parents. Whenever anxiety or pressure built up, our mentors and counsellors motivated us to keep moving forward. ALLEN’s rigorous test series and doubt-solving mechanism played a decisive role in strengthening our preparation.”
The management of ALLEN Ahmedabad attributed this remarkable achievement to the relentless dedication of students, the unwavering support of parents and the tireless commitment of its experienced faculty, mentors and counsellors. The institute reaffirmed its resolve to continue nurturing future generations of compassionate and competent medical professionals, while setting even higher benchmarks in the years ahead.
