Coimbatore: M Vasuki, who has scored 571 marks in NEET, says she did not take private coaching for preparation.
The girl, who stays near the Lakshmi Mills, has got the top mark among the students who prepared through the state government's coaching programme.
A student of PSGR Krishnammal Higher Secondary School for Girls in the city, Vasuki said her schoolteachers offered extra classes after the school hours. She also attended online NEET coaching classes offered by the government.
“Our teachers gave us extra materials such as qprevious years’ question papers for preparation. I also attended the state government’s NEET coaching through eBox during the lockdown. They also shared material on YouTube,” she told TOI.
Vasuki said she also got old CBSE textbooks from her friends and used them for preparation. “I tried to understand the concepts. To clear doubt, I also consulted online resources. I put in effort and involvement.”
After completing MBBS, Vasuki wants to specialise in oncology. “A close relative of mine succumbed to cancer. From then, I have had the passion to study oncology.”
