- A student of Aakash Institute, Palwal Nandini obtains AIR 75 thanks to attending classes regularly, revising her subjects everyday, and sincerely following her teachers’ every single instruction
Palwal | How far can the simple act of faithfully following a qualified teacher’s instructions take someone in life? In the case of Nandini Singla, the answer is: to a good medical college in the country. A student of Aakash Institute in Palwal all Nandini did while preparing for her NEET exam was to just listen and follow what her teacher said.
Nandhini scored 705 marks out of 720 in NEET UG 2021 and secured AIR 75. She hopes to get into AIIMS Delhi. The dream of becoming a doctor took root in Nandini when she was in class X. She joined Aakash Institute’s three-year NEET coaching programme. Her special focus was on chemistry, a subject she found a little tough. Her strategy was simple: ask her teachers what she must be doing, and just do it. “It is very rare to come by a student like Nandini. She is obedient to the core. If I say focus on a chapter she would do, and if I say leave a subject, she would do, with full confidence in me,” says one of her teachers at Aakash. “She had no second thought.”
A major support for her is her father. He remained up to date with the progress his daughter was making in NEET preparation. He would attend all Parent Teacher Meetings. He would instantly buy the resource materials recommended for her studies. He would make sure that Nandini was not disturbed by her younger brother or any other children at home, when she was preparing for NEET from home, during the lockdown.
“Attend your classes regularly, revise your subjects everyday, and follow your teacher’s instructions,” are the tips she likes to give to the NEET aspirants.
In his comments about the meteoric progress Nandini has made in her studies, Mr Aakash Chaudhry, Managing Director, Aakash Educational Services Limited, said, “Brilliance is one thing but obedience is another. Students need both to achieve academic excellence. The story of Nandini is a profound proof. I am happy that our teachers could guide her in the right direction, and helped her crack the NEET exam with such a high score. They took the responsibility of making Nandini a doctor. I also have to mention the tremendous contribution her father has made to her journey. His dedication was matchless. Behind the success of Nandini – for that matter, all students who make it, there is a team comprising the student himself or herself, the teachers, and the parents. I wish Nandini all the best with her higher studies and career.
