“But I’m not sure whether I will be able to get a medical seat,” says the native of Karuppanaickenpatti in Dharmapuri district, hoping for some help to secure a medical seat in a government college. G. Bhanupriya of Salem, 18, stood second among NCLP-rescued children in the State with 1,128 out of 1,200 marks in Plus-Two. But, the student belonging to the Most Backward Caste (MBC) community is unsure whether his marks will get him through the competition and help him land a medical seat. Twenty-year-old P. Siva, who was rescued and eventually went on to score 1,148 out of 1,200 marks in the recently declared Class 12 results, is hoping to pursue Medicine. He was helping his parents break stones in a private firm in Bengaluru before he was rescued.
