Even when her NEET score was 520 last year, she was eligible only for private colleges, but, due to the fee structures of those colleges, she decided to go for another try aiming for government medical college.
'As my father is a work man in a private company in Madurai, he cannot afford to pay ₹10 lakh fee, so, I was confident that I would crack if I tried one more time,' she added.
Another student, R. Priyanka of the same school, a second attempter, said that her score in the previous year was 252 and after undergoing coaching for a year, she has scored 466 this year.
'Though my father is running a tea shop and cannot afford to pay for any other colleges, he gave me the freedom to utilise one more year for NEET preparation,' she
Knowing her lifelong dream, she said her father supported her through his meagre earnings to take a year off and prepare for the NEET examination.
'My teachers said that as I am eligible for the 7.5% reservation I would secure a medical seat this year,' she added.
