And as I reviewed it, many doubts began to arise. But I was able to resolve all the doubts with the help of my faculties. Now I want to become a successful Doctor and do something great for my people and my country. “

In 2018, I got good grades in class 12, but still , I was not able to appear in NEET because the minimum age requirement for NEET is 17. So I waited two years and worked very hard. In 2020, my wait ended and I was eligible to fulfill my parents’ dreams. “
