The results of the medical entrance exam NEET 2022 were released last week, with many students clearing the exam with almost perfect scores. However, one person from Rajasthan named Ramlal stood apart, his NEET success story was nothing short of unique.
Ramlal, a young man from Rajasthan, cracked the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) exam in his 5th attempt this year and is all set to become the first doctor in his family. However, his journey to clear the exam was not an easy one.
Ramlal was married at the age of just 11 when he was in class 6. Despite being forced into child marriage, the NEET aspirant made it clear to his family that he wanted to pursue his studies. However, his father was not happy with his decision.
Ramlal’s wife had studied only till class 10th, but seeing his passion to become a doctor, she decided to help him fulfill his dream. After completing his 10th standard with 74 per cent, Ramlal chose the science stream and started preparing for the UGC NEET exam.
Ramlal gave his first attempt at the NEET exam in 2019 when he scored 350 out of a total of 720. He slowly started scoring more and more in each attempt, joining a coaching center in Kota to round up his scores. Eventually, Ramlal scored 490 in the NEET 2022 exam.
Ramlal is a resident of Ghosunda area of Chittorgarh, Rajasthan and lives with his young wife and family. The would-be doctor also became a father when he was 20, nine years after his forced marriage.
