Munavvar told Twocircles.net that while he had expected a good rank, standing first in the exams nevertheless came as surprise. Munavvar, the son of Mohammed Kutty PP and Nadeera VV, joined Brilliant Study Centre at Pala in Kottayam for entrance coaching after class 12 and topped the exams in his second attempt. The youngster said he would become a good doctor with ardent dedication and commitment to the society.
