NEET UG 2026 Topper Panshul Bansal Reveals Strategy Behind AIR 2 and Why He Avoided Protests
Amidst the turbulence, re-examinations, and nationwide student demonstrations surrounding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) 2026, Haryana-based prodigy Panshul Bansal charted a different course entirely.
Reflecting on the turbulent testing cycle that forced a mandatory re-examination, Panshul noted that while the initial cancellation brought uncertainty, he chose to look past the chaos. Rather than joining street-level agitations or spending hours tracking controversy updates, he directed his energy inward. "I thought, why should I go to the protest? Instead, I could be studying at home and improving my skills and improving my score," Panshul shared in interviews. That tactical pivot paid rich dividends, allowing him to elevate his performance significantly from earlier mock and cancelled test scores.
Rigorous Routine: Panshul maintained a balanced daily structure, dedicating roughly 7 to 8 hours to focused study, rigorous NCERT revision, and regular full-length mock tests while strictly preserving time for family and rest.
Multidisciplinary Talent: Beyond his medical aspirations, the academic star also secured an impressive 99.5 percentile in JEE Main 2026 earlier in the year, highlighting his exceptional command over core sciences.
Support System: Crediting his steel entrepreneur father and company secretary mother for continuous academic and emotional backing, Panshul emphasized that structured mentorship from his coaching and school teachers helped him handle exam-hall pressure.
