Nashik, MAHARASHTRA :

Hafiz Syed Zaid Sadiq

In a remarkable display of discipline and dedication, 15-year-old Hafiz Syed Zaid Sadiq from Nashik has emerged as the top scorer from the city in JEE Main 2026 (Session 2), securing an impressive 99.927 percentile.

A student of Ashoka College, Zaid has set a shining example by balancing rigorous academic preparation with deep religious commitment.

Zaid achieved the extraordinary feat of memorising the entire Quran by the age of 15. He completed his early religious studies through madrasas and, due to time constraints during school, finished memorising the Quran at home in Class 9 under the guidance of a tutor and his mother’s supervision.

His academic excellence was evident earlier when he scored 95% in Class 10. Maintaining consistency, Zaid scored above 99 percentile in both sessions of JEE Main. According to his family, months of focused preparation, supported by his father Syed Sadiq and mother Syed Zauqiya, helped him strike a perfect balance between studies and religious learning.

Coming from an educated family, Zaid is the grandson of the late Syed Sattar Ali Roshan, a respected former municipal school head teacher.

A teacher from Ashoka College praised his time management, saying, “He has shown that with proper routine and focus, students can excel in both academics and religious studies.”

Zaid is now preparing for JEE Advanced with the dream of securing admission into a prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). His success has drawn widespread congratulations from across Nashik.
