Bhubaneswar: Students of SAI International School have once again lived up to the high standards set by the institution in competitive exams. The top three from Odisha in the NEET 2021 result are all SAIoneers.
State topper Nekta N Swasti Sravan Mishra secured AIR 75th rank, followed by schoolmates Geeti Gayatri Panda (AIR 100) and Sooraj Nanda (AIR 124).

Third-ranked Suraj devoted 6-7 hours daily to studies, and kept referring to NCERT books besides solving mock papers. He acknowledged the support of the school and his teachers who helped him realize his dream. Son of a KIIT University professor, Suraj loves playing chess in his free time.
