Apart from the AIPMT, he also gave the entrance test for AIIMS (ranked 3), the Delhi Pre-medical Test (DPMT - ranked 1) and Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE - ranked 1).
Today, he is pursuing his MBBS at AIIMS. But according to Siddharth, though getting into medicine was a well-thought out decision, he has seen both the perks and the challenges of the profession and was also aware that admission to the profession was not a cakewalk.
A consistently good student, Siddharth scored 95.2 percent in Class 12. He attended Delhi Public School, Rohini, located a stone’s throw away from his house. Recounting his entrance exam preparation days, he says, “I would wake up in the morning and study Biology, and when I got bored I would solve Chemistry and Physics numericals.”
Note that Siddharth was an ace when it came to Physics, but struggled with Biology. But he studied harder in the subject during the last two months of preparation. “Students should capitalise on their strengths and work on weaker areas,” he says.
He joined the Narayana IIT Academy in Rohini in Class 11 as it has a good faculty and was located close to his house. He would learn what was taught in the institute the very same day. He stresses on being regular at school, too.
“Joining a coaching institute most importantly instils a competitive spirit in you, since there are also other students there aiming for the same,” he says. “There were many brilliant students around me who could not make it in the first attempt. I was determined to give my best,” he adds.
He, however, does not deny the fact that students do clear the exams sans any coaching. He stresses that they could enrol for the mock test series offered by a coaching class, if not a regular course.
The AIPMT is conducted in two stages: Prelims and Finals, which are both three-hour exams. The Prelims is conducted in the first week of April and comprises 200 objective-type questions, 50 each in Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology. A correct answer fetches 4 marks and a wrong answer, a negative marking of 1. Those who clear the Prelims, will give the final exam in May, which comprises 120 objective-type questions. While half the questions in the AIPMT prelims are from Biology, the AIIMS exam focuses more on Modern Physics and Human Physiology.
When quizzed about the future, Siddarth says he wants to conduct research alongside being a practicing doctor.

Hello Jitendra,
NEET preparation can also be done in Hindi, as the exam is conducted in multiple languages, including Hindi. Students can study the NCERT books of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in Hindi medium, as these are the most important sources. Apart from the NCERT, many reference books are also available in Hindi for practice. Coaching institutes and online platforms provide lectures, notes, and mock tests in Hindi, which help students understand concepts better. Regular revision, solving previous year papers, and giving mock tests in Hindi medium help build confidence. It is equally important to focus on time management and accuracy during preparation. With dedication, Hindi medium students can achieve excellent ranks in NEET just like English medium students.

Government Unani Medical College, Bangalore admits students through NEET-UG AYUSH counselling, and there is no official rule of cutoff reduction. However, the cutoff marks often drop in later rounds and mop-up counselling, so students with lower scores sometimes get admission. The qualifying percentile is 50% for General/EWS and 40% for OBC/SC/ST, which benefits reserved categories. Your chances mainly depend on your category, state quota vs. All India quota, and the year’s cutoff trend. So, even with a low score, you may still have a chance in later rounds if vacancies remain.
To prepare for NEET online, first complete the NCERT syllabus, especially Biology, as most questions come from it. Use online platforms for video lectures and test series. Make a daily study plan dividing time between Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Practice previous year papers and mock tests to improve speed and accuracy. Keep revising important topics regularly and clear doubts through online groups or coaching apps. Consistency and regular practice are the keys to success.
