After clearing his Class 10th exams, Mazin Mansoor made a bold choice to shift to a school which operated under the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), even as CBSE is generally considered to be a good choice for aspirants who wish to take competitive exams.

In an interview, Mazin revealed that idea behind his choice to shift to BSEB was that it would provide him more time to prepare for NEET as the Bihar Board, unlike the CBSE, does not have any practical and assignments for Class 12th final exams. “I realized that whatever your score is in board exams does not matter in competitive exams. I changed to BSEB so I did not have to stress about submitting assignments and practical tests, which is required for every subject in CBSE class 12th,” he said.

Mazin Mansoor passed Bihar Board 2024 Class 12 exams with flying colours, scoring an impressive 87% marks, and later cleared the NEET UG exams in the same year, sharing the AIR 1 with 16 other students by obtaining 99.997129 percentile. Mazin’s AIR for counselling in the June 2024 result was 1.05, which has now improved to 1.03 after the results were revised.

Mazin further revealed that he solved mock tests, prioritizing Biology first, then Chemistry and finally Physics. However, he later realized that his strategy was not working, which made him change his approach by taking on Chemistry first, then Biology and lastly Physics.
