Mr Khan's family, which had little resources, managed to send him for private tuitions. However, due to the Covid lockdown, he had to study at home. "I went to a private tuition centre in Baramulla in Class 11 but then Covid 19 lockdown happened. I saw many students have studied from YouTube and cracked NEET, so I thought why can't I do it. I then studied from YouTube channels and other online platforms," Mr Khan said.
Mehraj-ud-din Khan cracked the NEET UG in his first attempt. He expected more points though. He said NEET aspirants should stay focussed. "Continuously work towards achieving your goal and you will be able to do it. My goal was set.
