New Delhi: Students from the Narayana Institute, Punjabi Bagh, have brought glory to the institution this year through outstanding performances in the prestigious engineering entrance exam (JEE Advanced) and NEET-2026.

According to the institute's management, numerous students achieved high ranks this year; over 150 students succeeded in JEE Advanced-2026, and 8 students succeeded in NEET-2026. The institute attributes this achievement to the students' hard work, the support of parents, and the guidance of experienced teachers.
Narayana Coaching Center, Punjabi Bagh, celebrated the success of its students in JEE Advanced and NEET-2026 and honored the future engineers and doctors. The event was graced by Chief Guest Mr. Rajiv Ranjan (IAS), Administrative Superintendent, Central-North District, Delhi. He is an IIT alumnus and has previously served as the Lieutenant Governor of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Mr. Shyam Bhushan, National Head of Narayana Coaching Center, attended as the special guest.
Eight students from the Narayana Punjabi Bagh center—Sankalp Ranjan, Mohammad Asif, Anupriya Kumari, Ishan Pandey, Shivani Shakya, Ayush Dwivedi, Priyanka Ghosh, and Raunak Kanojia—achieved success in NEET-2026.
Additionally, over 150 students from Narayana Institute, Punjabi Bagh, succeeded in the JEE Advanced 2026 examination. Archit Arora secured the 103rd rank, Nipun Sharma the 284th, and Akshansh Goyal the 384th. The institute's students secured 7 positions in the top 500 ranks, 11 in the top 1000, 34 in the top 5000, and 50 in the top 10,000. Bhupesh Kumar, Centre Director of Narayana Punjabi Bagh, stated, "Today, we are here not merely to celebrate our students' success, but to honor their dreams, hard work, struggles, and perseverance. While the rest of us slept, our students stayed awake to study; while we were engrossed in social media, they remained focused on their academics. Thus, today’s celebration is a tribute to their sacrifices."
"Excellence is not an accident; it is a habit. At Narayana Punjabi Bagh, we train students to reach the pinnacle of success rather than simply seeking them out. Our results reflect unparalleled academic guidance, discipline, and the dedication of our teachers."
Congratulating the successful students, the Institute's Director remarked that these results are the outcome of disciplined study, a regular testing system, and personalized guidance. He expressed hope that these students would secure admission to the country's prestigious engineering institutes and play a pivotal role in nation-building in the future.
While there is an atmosphere of excitement among the successful students and their parents regarding this achievement, the institute has also pledged to deliver even better results in the future.
Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Guest, Mr. Rajiv Ranjan, noted that this celebration marks merely the first step toward success, not the ultimate goal. He encouraged everyone to celebrate today but emphasized that achieving complete success requires hard work, dedication, and concentration. Recalling his own journey, he shared, "After completing my Mechanical Engineering at IIT, I changed jobs across six different companies. When I turned 30, I decided I had to join the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), as it was my last opportunity. Both my family and I were anxious about it, but through hard work and a stroke of luck, I succeeded. Life is full of ups and downs, but we must face challenges with determination." He extended his best wishes to the successful students for a bright future.
