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.

In a significant international breakthrough, two Rahmani30 students — Mohammad Rehan Shahid and Md Rayhan Perwez — have secured admission to leading international medical universities through highly competitive scholarship examinations. These represent fully funded, merit-based opportunities earned through rigorous academic performance and global-level evaluation. This rare achievement marks a defining milestone for Rahmani30 and reflects the quiet, outcome-driven excellence that continues to distinguish the program.
Importantly, this achievement builds on Rahmani30’s consistent track record of sending students to India’s Institutes of National Importance and other first-tier educational institutions, and now marks the emergence of a new global initiative long envisioned and encouraged by its late Patron, Hazrat Maulana Mohammad Wali Rahmani sb (RA), who paved the way for this broader global journey.
This initiative is being actively guided and fuelled by Dr. Zishan Siddiqui, MD – Johns Hopkins Medicine, USA for the Raza of Allah SWT. It is not an isolated outcome, but the early expression of a wider journey — one that extends Rahmani30’s culture of excellence beyond India into international academic pathways.
Mohammad Rehan Shahid, from Patna, Bihar, and a student of the R30 Batch 2022–24, has secured admission to Istanbul University – Faculty of Medicine, Turkey, a highly respected medical institution in the region. In addition to qualifying through an international scholarship examination, Rehan achieved an impressive TOEFL score and performed strongly in the SAT, further strengthening his academic profile. His success reflects his dedication, complemented by the rigorous academic environment and preparation provided at Rahmani30.
Md Rayhan Perwez, from West Champaran, Bihar, and a student of the R30 Batch 2022–24, has qualified for a prestigious international medical scholarship and secured admission to the University of Catania, Italy. Alongside his scholarship achievement, he has earned excellent scores in both TOEFL and SAT, demonstrating his readiness to succeed in an international academic environment. His accomplishments highlight his perseverance, supported by the strong academic foundation and guidance provided at Rahmani30.
These achievements underscore Rahmani30’s commitment to empowering talented youth through world-class coaching, mentorship, and career guidance. It is important to note that both students have been awarded 100% tuition fee coverage for the entire MBBS program, travel support, and monthly stipend support to cover accommodation, food, and other living expenses.
This expanding footprint signals that, with the right support and hard work, students can excel in international academic arenas.
Rahmani30 continues to nurture students for IIT-JEE, NEET, CA, CS, CMA, international academic pathways, and other premier opportunities, expanding access both within India and beyond. These accomplishments will undoubtedly motivate countless students to pursue their dreams with confidence and determination.
Another important milestone and critical new initiative of Rahmani30 is its Junior Program, with intake in Class 8 and Class 9. While the core Rahmani30 model remains selection-based, the Junior Program adds a new and even more powerful approach to the journey of excellence — one centered oncultivating, nurturing, and shaping excellence from an earlier stage. Together, these efforts reflect Rahmani30’s expanding vision: not only to identify excellence, but also to build it with greater depth and over a longer horizon, with many more such outcomes expected in the years ahead.

Bidar Deputy Commissioner R. Ramachandran after felicitating Arbaaz Ahmed of Shaheen College for his NEET success in Bidar. Arbaaz’s father Md. Saleemoddin is seen.
Mohammad Arbaaz Ahmed was in eighth standard when his father suffered a paralytic stroke. He remembers his brothers carrying their father Mohammad Saleemoddin to hospitals in Basava Kalyan and Bidar. Doctors said that it may be a result of an accident or injury in the past. They began a series of treatments, but little came of it.
He lost his job and was barely mobile. His wife started working as a house help to keep the hearth warm. Saleemoddin was a lorry driver handling goods vehicles between Mumbai and Hyderabad. He worked overtime to feed his large family and send his children to school.
But the illness affected the family badly.
This, however, did not deter the children from succeeding in school. His eldest son got into an engineering college, another got into medicine and the third became a dentist.
Arbaaz, who has obtained the 85th rank in the NEET all India rankings and the third rank in the State, says that his brothers who succeed in the face of adversity, inspired him. “My parents also supported me. Four years ago my father suffered a stroke and became bed-ridden for months. But he never asked me to quit studying or take up a job. He nudged me to keep studying so that I could become a doctor and help a lot of people,” Arbaaz told The Hindu .
He says he is likely to be accepted into the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi. The studious youth, however, does not want to stop at MBBS. “I want to complete my post-graduation and then, take up research to create low- cost treatment for the poor,’’ he said.
Arbaaz scored 97 % in PU and 92 % in SSLC exams. He joined the Bidar-based Shaheen PU College. The college admitted Arbaaz free, just as it had admitted his two brothers.
“This year, we have admitted 300 students free, against our intake of 1500,” said Abdul Quadeer, secretary of Shaheen PU College that has produced NEET toppers Karthik Reddy and Arbaaz.
Karthik Reddy’s father Rama Reddy is a professor of mechanical engineering in Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College in Bidar.
His mother Kalpana is a government primary school teacher. “My elder brother is an engineer. He is a student of M.Tech. But I was not sure of what to do after PU. I got interested in medicine after discussing with my friends at the college,’’ he said.
He was a day boarder who chose a semi residential model which meant he went to college at 7 in the morning only to return home at 9 p.m.. He says that he spent the lockdown period solving past question papers. The college staff came home to give the papers and collect the answer sheets every day. “We kept in touch with our teachers via phone and video conference calls,” he said.

As many as 23 female students of a government school in Jamia Nagar had qualified NEET exam but 22 out of them were not fortunate enough to take admission in any medical institute.
The students told Muslim Mirror that they were not eligible to take admission in any government college as their scores were lower than cut-off ranks issued by the institutes.
However, they were eligible to take admission in private medical colleges but they couldn’t do so because they could not afford education fees mandated by them.
“We are from middle-class family. We cannot afford their fees,” said Madiha, one of the 22 students.
The students were enrolled in Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya, Noor Nagar, Okhla, New Delhi. They are among 569 students of government schools in Delhi who have cleared NEET exam this year.
In October, Delhi ministers had praised the efforts of the NEET qualifiers. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had categorically mentioned the Noor Nagar school for the remarkable performance of its students.
After 99% results, Delhi Govt School students set another performance benchmark –
569 students cleared NEET Exam this year.
29 NEET pass outs are from a single Delhi govt school Molarband. 24 from another one in Yamuna vihar and 23 are from one in Noor nagar.
Tasneem Parween, one of the students from the aforementioned school, has managed to take admission in B. Pharma at Meera Bai Polytechnic, a government college in South Delhi. However, the remaining 22 students failed to take admission in any college this year but their efforts have gone in-vain totally.
Jamia Cooperative Bank has come out to help these students get proper coaching and perform better in the next exam. The bank has selected top 10 students and paid their fees [Rs. 40,000 per student] to help them take admission in Aakash Institute. Adiba Ali, Shiza Ali, Bushra Midhat and Ariba are some of the lucky students who has got admission in Aakash with the support of the cooperative bank.
Moreover, Dr Shabana Nadim, former principal of the aforementioned school, has provided financial help to two more students to get coaching from Aakash.
Speaking to Muslim Mirror, the school’s vice principal Mudassir Jahan lauded the efforts of Jamia Cooperative Bank and Mrs Nadim.
The remaining students have also started preparation to appear for the next NEET exam. They are considering to take admissions in various coaching centres at their own, said Ms Sadaf Rais, one of the school teachers.

From a cramped one-room chawl in Azmi Nagar to becoming a qualified doctor, Dr Adnan Shahabuddin Ansari’s journey is a powerful example of determination, sacrifice and steady effort under difficult conditions.
Born into a modest family, Adnan grew up in a small home where space and money were both limited. His father, Shahabuddin Ansari, worked in the scrap business. Despite having a low income, the family placed a strong emphasis on education and supported their children with whatever they could afford.
Adnan’s father said, “We always wanted our children to study and move forward in life. Even when it was difficult, we did not give up on their education.”
Adnan’s academic journey was not without its challenges. While studying in class eight, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and had to undergo long-term treatment at Sion Somaiya Hospital. The illness weakened him physically, but it strengthened his resolve.
Instead of breaking his confidence, the experience made him more focused on becoming a doctor.
He completed his SSC in 2017 from Al-Hamd High School with 84 per cent marks. In 2019, he passed his HSC from KMES Junior College with 88 per cent marks.
After this, he aimed to clear the NEET and enter a medical college.
Adnan moved to Kota for coaching, but his preparation was interrupted due to a serious heart-related health problem. He had to leave coaching and return home for treatment and hospital care.
Even during hospitalisation, he continued studying daily. “I used to study from morning till night, even in the hospital. I could not afford to stop,” Adnan said.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, conditions became even more difficult. Coaching centres were closed and study material was limited. His father supported him by writing question papers by hand so that his preparation could continue.
Despite all challenges, Adnan cleared NEET in 2020 in his first attempt, scoring 585 out of 720 marks. He secured admission in a government medical college and completed his MBBS from Shree Bhausaheb Hire Medical College in Dhule.
His convocation ceremony was recently held, marking the completion of his medical degree.
Adnan and his father expressed gratitude towards the newspaper they regularly read, which played a role in encouraging their educational awareness.
Shahabuddin Ansari said, “For the last 25 years, we have been reading this newspaper regularly. Its education section, interviews and reports always inspired my son. He used to read them with interest.”
He added, “We thank this newspaper for its support and motivation.”
Dr Adnan Ansari now aims to pursue NEET PG and become an MD physician. He hopes to serve society through medical practice and continue his journey in healthcare.
His story reflects how consistent effort, parental support and determination can help overcome even the most difficult circumstances.

Vision-2026, a project of NGO Human Welfare Foundation (HWF) has announced to bear all the future educational expenses of Muslim girl, who was a victim of Delhi riots but scored excellent marks in her Std XII examinations.
A labourer’s daughter, Nargis Nasim(17), who studied in Std XII in a government school in Northeast Delhi scored 62 per cent marks in two subjects of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examination bringing smiles on the faces of her family members and relatives.
HWF’s chief executive officer(CEO) Mohammed Naufal said that the house of the girl that was completely gutted during the riots was reapired by the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind(JIH( at a cost of about Rs. 1.84 lakhs. “Our MNGO will now financie the educational cost of the girl”, said Naufal.
Regarding the score, Nargis is surprised saying that she had thought of merely passing the exam and the first class score had left her wonderstruck. “Initially, I thought that clearing the exams alone would be difficult and during my second thought, I felt that I would only get through the exam,” she said.
Her house located in Khajuri Khas was burnt down the next day of February 24 when riots broke out in the locality. She had stepped out of her house along with her relative to appear for the physical education examination and returned home safely. However, the next day the rioters burnt her house and the entire family was forced to take shelter in a rented room in Chandu Nagar where other riot victims were also provided temporary relief shelters as protection from the mayhem and destruction. All her books were lost in the fire set to her house by the rioters. Her family members through donations managed to provide her news book for study.
Nargis could manage to appear only for two subjects-political science and physical education-as the outbreak of COVID 19 led to suspension of the exams till further notice.
Narrating about her harrowing experience, she said “I was with my relative at the time of appearing for physical education at Gokulpuri government school when I saw violence taking place in the area. We reached home at 4 pm but after a lot of struggle wading through the lanes as public transport had shut down,” she said.
On her impressive score, Nargis explained that an NGO helped her with books and guided her in studies which helped her appear in the exams with confidence. “During normal times, I would have done better than my current performance. The CBSE board has now declared that the students can reappear for the cancelled subjects. It is too late and one does not know how long it would take for the conduct of the exams by the board. Right now, I am preparing myself for the college admission,” she said.
Her uncle Salim, who stood rock-solid behind the family during the crisis, said, “ Her achievement is commendable as despite the odd and difficult situation, Nargis scored 60 percent. Her achievement is very important for the family as we have been running helter-skelter seeking shelter and survival during such dangerous and trying time”, he said.

The sisters come from a modest background. Their father, Abdul Malik, works as a carpenter, while their mother studied up to Class 9.
Two sisters from Meerut have drawn attention with their impressive performance in the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad examinations, securing the top two positions in the district.
Adeeba Malik scored 95.68 per cent in the high school examination to secure first place, while her sister Shifa Malik ranked second with 82 per cent in the science stream.
Their achievement has brought joy to the locality, with residents visiting their home to congratulate the family.
Adeeba attributed her success to discipline and consistency. “I studied for long hours every day and stayed focused. Hard work and a proper routine helped me achieve this result,” she said. She scored full marks in mathematics, her strongest subject.
Notably, she prepared entirely at home without any tuition or coaching support.
The sisters come from a modest background. Their father, Abdul Malik, works as a carpenter, while their mother studied up to Class 9. Expressing his pride, Abdul Malik said, “I could not study much myself, but my daughter is making me proud. There is no difference between a son and a daughter. I want her to study and move ahead.”
The sisters were felicitated at St Joseph Inter College, where teachers and students celebrated their success. Sweets were distributed, and similar celebrations were held at their home.
Family members said the achievement reflects the sisters’ consistent dedication and hard work.
Adeeba aspires to become an IAS officer and serve the country.
Education experts say such success stories are significant, especially in areas where awareness about girls’ education is still evolving and students often face challenges in continuing their studies. The sisters’ achievement is being seen as an inspiring example for others.
