NEET is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education for admission to MBBS and BDS courses in colleges run with the approval of the Medical Council of India and the Dental Council of India. 12.69 lakh candidates appeared for the test, of which 7.14 lakh cleared the test.
Talking about his success in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, Krishna Kumar says, “My father has 10 bighas agricultural land in the village, but there was a phase of huge financial crunch. My father and my mother worked as MGNREGA labourers to support my education.”
Talking about his preparation, Kumar told that there was no senior secondary school in the village. He used to travel 20 Km daily for completing Class 10. His village does have electricity concern too. Often there was no electricity in the night time; He used to study under the kerosene lamp.
In 2015, Krishna Kumar moved to Kota to prepare for the entrance test. Krishna Kumar mentioned that his parents were really supportive during these coaching days. They were facing financial hustle, yet allowed him to continue his coaching. Naveen Maheshwari, director of Allen Career Institute in Kota where Kumar studied, said the young boy’s success in cracking the NEET was a result of his unyielding determination and hard work.
Krishna Kumar said he wants to contribute to developing health facilities in rural India, possibly because he does not want other students to struggle with limited resources as he had in his preparation.
