He appreciated the efforts of the teachers engaged in these coaching centres.  An official spokesperson said that an orphan student -- Furqaan Ashraf of BHSS Dooru -- has topped the NEET examination in J&K by securing 597 marks.

The Department organized a felicitation ceremony for the meritorious students and other qualifiers of the area. Secretary School Education Farooq Ahmad Shah congratulated Ashraf and other successful candidates and appreciated the efforts put by the teachers.
