Reetham B, a resident of Kolar who studied in Mangaluru, said he was happy about his results but his aim is to pursue medical education. “I am waiting for the NEET results and would like to pursue MBBS at the Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI),” he said.

Reetham said, “It was just consistency in studies that helped me to excel. The mock tests conducted by the college helped me significantly to prepare for entrance exams. The support and motivation of teachers, who cleared my doubts instantly through WhatsApp, also helped a lot in my studies. I never felt demotivated even during offline classes because of the motivation of teachers.”

Sathvik Bhat, from Ujire, said he turned the lockdown into an opportunity to prepare himself to learn. Bhat, who is also waiting for NEET results, added that students will be able to crack competitive exams if they have a strong base in subject knowledge.

Sujnan Shetty, a resident of Kundapura, said he is focusing on NEET results. “Revising chapters learnt in classrooms the same day has been my routine. Meanwhile, my teachers have also motivated me to be more consistent in studies,” he said.
