Krishang Joshi bags NEET AIR 3 despite doubts from last year's paper leak
'I was hopeful, but I couldn't trust the process after what happened last year,' he admits. The 2024 NEET UG controversy left him uncertain about the fairness of the exam. "The paper was too easy last year, and it felt like a matter of luck," he says. That doubt lingered during his preparation.Though Krishang always believed he'd clear NEET in his first attempt, he never expected a top 3 rank. 'After the exam, I thought maybe top 50, and later hoped for top 10. Even after checking the final answer key, I didn't expect top 5,' he shares.A DREAM BEYOND COLLEGE TAGS advertisementDespite the uncertainty, giving up was never an option. He remained determined and focused, aiming to become a doctor—regardless of the college tag. 'I just want to be a good doctor. Even if I didn't get AIIMS Delhi, I was confident about MAMC or Safdarjung,' he adds.Still, the dream of AIIMS Delhi had been with him since Class 10. 'AIIMS has a top-notch faculty, skill-building opportunities, and overall holistic growth. It's one of India's best,' says Krishang, who studied at Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), Pune, on a full scholarship.POWER OF CONCEPTUAL CLARITYLiving away from his family, Krishang followed a rigorous routine. His day began at 9 am with classes and continued into the night with study sessions lasting till 1 am. Yet, he made sure to sleep for at least 6–8 hours. 'It doesn't feel hectic if you enjoy the process,' he smiles.When asked about the secret to his success, Krishang answers without hesitation—Conceptual Understanding. 'Earlier, I used to just memorise formulas. But then I realised if I understood the concept, I could solve any question. That changed everything for me.'With clarity, consistency, and strong concepts as his foundation, Krishang Joshi is now all set to pursue his dream of becoming a skilled and compassionate doctor.

Is your child malnourished? Pediatrician shares 5 subtle signs that parents often miss
A child's diet should be a compilation of healthy nutrients. Nutritional gaps in their diet can have long-term effects on their growth, development and overall health. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Ravi Malik, paediatrics, MAMC and founder and medical director, Malik Radix Healthcare said, 'Your child may appear active and healthy, but nutrient gaps can quietly affect their growth, immunity, and focus. Especially in picky eaters, these deficiencies often go unnoticed.' Also read | Is your kid a picky eater? Here are 7 tips to add healthy foods to your child's diet Frequent hair breakage may point to low protein, biotin, or zinc levels. (Unsplash) Dr Ravi Malik further shared the subtle signs of malnourishment in children that parents should watch out for: 1. Low energy and fatigue after play If your child is often tired after playtime, wants naps frequently, or struggles to concentrate, it may signal deficiencies in iron, vitamin B12, or protein. These nutrients are essential for maintaining energy and supporting brain function. Watch out for increased sleepiness, lack of focus, or sluggish behavior. 2. Hair loss or brittle strands Noticeable thinning or frequent hair breakage may point to low protein, biotin, or zinc levels. In more severe cases, you might see patches of hair loss (alopecia). Hair health is a reliable marker for nutritional status, especially protein intake. Design a nutritious diet for your child.(Unsplash) 3. Falling sick too often While 6–8 episodes of fever per year are considered normal, frequent colds, slow recovery, or recurring infections can indicate a weak immune system. This could be due to deficiencies in vitamins C, D, zinc, or protein. Watch for patterns of illness, especially gastrointestinal infections or chest infections. Also read | Is your child's diet putting their heart at risk? Essential guide for parents 4. Delayed growth or dental issues If your child is not gaining weight or height as expected or has delayed or chipped teeth, they may be lacking protein, calcium, or vitamin D. Roughly, a 1-year-old should weigh around 10 kg, a 6-year-old around 20 kg, and a 10-year-old around 30 kg. Similarly, expected heights are 75 cm at 1 year, 100 cm at 4 years, and 137 cm at 10 years. 5. Mood swings and poor focus Frequent irritability, anxiety, or poor school performance may be linked to low levels of omega-3, iron, or B-complex vitamins. These nutrients play a key role in cognitive and emotional development. What can parents do? 'Focus on colourful, balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lentils, nuts, and seeds. Eggs are an excellent protein source. Encourage outdoor play for natural vitamin D. Avoid over-reliance on packaged health drinks. And most importantly, consider supplements only after consulting a pediatrician,' the doctor suggested.
