NEET UG Success Story: Meet Last Year's AIR 1 Mazin Mansoor, Who Shifted From CBSE To BSEB
Mazin's inspiration to do MBBS also came from his family. He also wanted to become a doctor like his family members which is why he decided to apply for NEET UG.
Meet Mazin Mansoor who secured All India Rank (AIR) 1 in NEET UG 2024. Mazin scored 720 out of 720 marks in the NEET exam. Last year, the toppers list of NEET UG 2024 was revised, after which his counseling rank improved. Earlier his counseling rank was 1.05, which later became 1.03. Apart from Mazin, names of 16 other students were also included in this list in NEET UG exam. His percentile was 99.997129.
A native of Darbhanga, Bihar, 18-year-old Mazin comes from a family of doctors. His father is a pediatrician and works in a government hospital in Saudi Arabia. Similarly, his maternal uncle, maternal aunt, maternal grandfather and grandfather are also doctors. His brother is doing BDS in Sarjug Dental College, Darbhanga and is in the fourth year. Mazin's inspiration to do MBBS also came from his family. He also wanted to become a doctor like his family members which is why he decided to apply for NEET UG.
From CBSE to Bihar Board
Interestingly, CBSE is considered good for competitive exams, but Mazin left CBSE after 10th and shifted to Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB). The reason behind this was that he had told in an interview that he did not want to take the burden of preparing for the board exam. Mazin told that practicals and assignments have to be submitted for every subject in CBSE, but there are no practicals in the final exam in Bihar Board. He said that I knew that the board marks do not matter much in the long run, so I did not take extra tension of practicals and assignments in 12th. Mazin scored 87 per cent marks in the 12th examination of Bihar Board 2024.
After 10th, Mazin took admission in a coaching institute in Bihar. He used to follow the coaching modules and NCERT textbooks. Mazin said that due to coaching, my preparation was going well. I did not have any backlog. Coaching used to end by 1 pm, then I used to go to my room and study biology, chemistry and physics. They did not set a time limit, but tried to complete a topic in the stipulated time. Mazin says that due to coaching he was saved from distractions.
During mock tests, Mazin adopted the strategy of solving Biology first, then Chemistry and finally Physics. Later he felt that this method is not correct. Then he changed his approach – first Chemistry, then Biology and finally Physics. He benefited more with this method.

CBSE makes CCTV camera compulsory for all affiliated schools
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has updated its Affiliation Bye-Laws 2018 to include a new provision mandating the installation of high-resolution CCTV cameras with audio-visual recording capabilities across all key areas of school campuses. This amendment has been made under Chapter 4, which deals with physical infrastructure requirements for affiliated schools. According to the notice, now, all CBSE-affiliated schools are required to install CCTV cameras with both video and audio recording at entry and exit points, lobbies, corridors, staircases, classrooms, laboratories, libraries, canteen areas, store rooms, playgrounds, and other common areas. Toilets and washrooms are exempt from this provision. The cameras must be capable of real-time recording and should be connected to storage systems that retain footage for a minimum period of 15 days. Schools are also expected to maintain backups for this duration, which must be made available to authorities as and when required. The decision draws from the Manual on Safety and Security of Children in Schools published by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), which defines 'school safety' as ensuring a secure and supportive environment for children—from home to school and back. The scope includes protection from abuse, violence, disasters, accidents, and psychological stressors like bullying. The manual underscores that emotional safety often remains unnoticed and difficult to detect, highlighting the need for comprehensive measures. Schools, therefore, have a duty not just to safeguard students physically, but also to foster an emotionally and psychologically safe environment. The NCPCR guidelines already specify that CCTV systems should be installed and regularly maintained in schools. The CBSE's latest move formalises this recommendation by making it a mandatory condition for affiliation. The Board expects all affiliated schools to implement the provision in 'letter and spirit' to ensure a secure campus environment. The provision is also aimed at promoting vigilance, preventing threats from external and internal sources, and supporting school staff in early identification of safety issues. The CBSE reiterated that ensuring a safe school ecosystem is a collective responsibility involving not only school management and staff but also students, special needs assistants, contractors, and visitors.
