Anushka Kulkarni, a student of Aakash BYJU’S from Goa, scored 705 in NEET UG 2022 and secured AIR 24, making her the state topper.
Anushka, whose father is a business consultant and mothera banker, is hopeful of obtaining a seat in AIIMS Delhi, and to become a neurosurgeon in the future.
Anushka joined Aakash BYJU’S for NEET coaching, after she decided to become a doctor in Class XI.
Initially, her score in mock tests at Aakash BYJU’S was only in the range of 500.
However, following her error analysis and changes in test preparation, Anushka started scoring 700 plus.
“I have no hesitation in attributing my success to Aakash BYJU’S test series. The frequency of tests and quality of questions were very helpful,” Anushka said.Weeks before the NEET exam, she was giving at least one mock test a day. Anushka also mentions that anytime access to her teachers is another great thing about Aakash BYJU’S.
“Online classes were very good. My teachers ensured that we really understood everything. They were there for me anytime. They promptly cleared my doubts or explained things on WhatsApp even after class hours,” she added.
Anushka had her own share of hardest moments during her preparation. “Many times I had genuinely believed that I would not be able to crack the NEET exam. Once I was lying in bed, the whole day, thinking I could not do this,” she recalls.
However, she could overcome her low moods by talking to friends.
Anushka’s family is from Karnataka. She was born in Maharashtra and brought up in Goa.
On her advice to NEET aspirants, she says, “Follow what works for you. You do not have to study 10 or 15 hours a day just because someone told you to do so. In my case, I studied only for 6 or 7 hours a day. Also, never be hard on yourself. You do not have to cut yourself off from the rest of the world. I was on social media almost till the end. I watched TV and went out with friends two or three times a week.”
