THRISSUR: His dream is to become a doctor. But when technicalities threatened to spoil P P Vishnu’s dream, the High Court came to his rescue, allowing him to apply in a medical college under the ESI quota though the last day of application was over.
Vishnu, who hails from Mannuthy, got a NEET rank of 12,000 in OEC quota while in the general list his rank was 30,000. “My friends who were below me in NEET ranking got admission.
