Parth Khandelwal, the son of a local dry fruits businessman and a homemaker, has achieved an All India Rank 10 in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) with a score of 715. With aspirations of pursuing MBBS from AIIMS, Delhi, he wants to specialise in neurology or cardiology.
Studying at the Allen coaching institute for three years, he dedicated around 12 hours a day, emphasising the importance of adapting study schedules based on his learning needs. He spent 12 hours a day preparing for the medical entrance test. “But I didn’t study according to a fixed schedule. Whenever I realised I had not spent enough time on a particular topic, I would start studying it,” he told The Indian Express.
However, this isn’t the first time Khandelwal has registered an impressive performance in an exam. He scored being a topper isn’t 95.6% in Class 10 and 90.6% in Class 12. He is also a National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) scholar with an overall rank of 33 in Stage-1 at the state level. Furthermore, he secured the first position in Rajasthan’s State Talent Search Examination (STSE). His strong passion for Biology led him to appear for NEET.
During his preparations, Parth Khandelwal found motivation in conversations with his friends, which not only refreshed his mind but also provided an opportunity to discuss subjects and enjoy moments of fun and laughter. “I also get motivated by my failures. There was one exam where my percentage was low. After scoring the lowest score, I made a resolution to work even harder,” he said. Since then, he has remained committed to never letting his scores decline, driving him to strive for continuous improvement.
