Jaipur boy bags AIR 14
J Tired of too many ads? go ad free now aipur: From dreaming of joining the NDA to securing All India Rank 14 in NEET-UG, it's been a rollercoaster ride for Jaipur's Somya Sharma who set out to fulfil his parents' dream. Somya's preparation started in Class 11, riddled with doubts and apprehensions about cracking the exam. "I was interested in Mathematics until Class 10 and wanted to get into the NDA, but my parents wanted me to become a doctor. So, I chose NEET because I could get an opportunity to study at the Armed Forces Medical College. But now that I have such a good rank, AIIMS Delhi is my aim," said Somya. Preparing for the exam for the past two years and getting less marks in tests sometimes affected his morale, but teachers' and parents' support helped him improve. The rank-holder strictly stayed away from social media to avoid distractions. "I knew if I made an account on social media, I would use it, so I did not make one," he said. Somya's turning point came when he scored below-average marks in practice test. A depressed Somya locked himself in a room and did not eat or talk for a few hours. "On this, my parents called my teachers, who explained to me that tests help students understand their weaknesses and strong points," said Somya. Another student from Jaipur, Devyansh Arora who stood 66 in NEET-UG, shared that he worked on his mistakes and did not repeat them. Devyansh kept a 'Silly Mistake Book', where he would make a note of every mistake that he made to avoid making it again. Another student Saurav Sharma from Jaipur secured All India Rank 101.
