Village youth, father of 6-month-girl, cracks NEET in 5th attempt

Ramlal Bhoi, a 21-year-old resident of Ghosunda village in Chittorgarh district, made significant sacrifices in pursuit of his dream to become a doctor.
 
Ramlal Bhoi (21) went six months without seeing his newborn daughter as he prepared for the NEET-UG 2023 in Kota, Rajasthan’s coaching hub for competitive exams. His sacrifice paid dividends with Bhoi scoring 632 out of 720 marks in his fifth attempt. A resident of the Ghosunda village in Chittorgarh district, Bhoi was married off when he was in Class 6. He and his wife started living at his parental home, where she gave birth to their daughter after she turned 18. “I saw my daughter’s face only after taking the exam. She had turned six months old by then,” he said. Having studied in his village’s government school up till class Xth, Bhoi was confused to pick any one stream from the arts, commerce and science for further studies. However, one of his teachers, who had noticed Bhoi’s excellent marks in science, came to his rescue and suggested he opt for biology as he feared mathematics. “It was only after taking up biology that I decided to become a doctor, stayed at a hostel in Udaipur and studied in government school there till class XIIth,” he said, adding that he relied on self-study during his first three attempts, where he scored 350, 320 and 362 out of 720. When Ramlal failed in his third attempt, his family wanted him to stop studying and start earning a livelihood. However, he refused. Giving into his determination, his family decided to send him to Kota for preparation. “Since being a doctor was my sole target, I decided to go for the fifth attempt and decided to stay in Kota,” he said, adding that while preparing for the exam Ramlal kept himself away from mobile phones. He did not even resort to the online format of teaching and whenever required, he would speak to his parents and wife through a friend’s keypad mobile.  In the course to fulfil his dream of becoming a doctor, Ramlal’s father borrowed a loan to enrol him at a coaching institute and his mother sold her jewellery. Enjoying the fruit of his labour, Ramlal has now returned to his village. He now aims to become a politician after completing his MBBS and serving people.

Ramlal Bhoi, a 21-year-old resident of Ghosunda village in Chittorgarh district, made significant sacrifices in pursuit of his dream to become a doctor. For six months, he stayed away from his newborn daughter while preparing for the NEET-UG 2023 in Kota, the coaching hub for competitive exams in Rajasthan. His determination paid off when he scored an impressive 632 out of 720 marks on his fifth attempt.

Ramlal's journey began when he got married during his sixth-grade year. He and his wife started living with his parents, and after turning 18, she gave birth to their daughter. However, it was only after completing the exam that Ramlal got to see his daughter's face, as she had already turned six months old by then.

Having studied at a government school in his village until the 10th grade, Ramlal faced the dilemma of choosing a specific stream for further studies: arts, commerce, or science. Fortunately, one of his teachers recognized Ramlal's exceptional performance in science and suggested he pursue biology, considering his aversion to mathematics. Taking the teacher's advice to heart, Ramlal decided to become a doctor, moved to a hostel in Udaipur, and continued his education at a government school until the 12th grade.

During his initial three attempts at the NEET-UG exam, Ramlal relied solely on self-study and scored 350, 320, and 362 out of 720 respectively. When he failed in his third attempt, his family urged him to abandon his studies and start earning a livelihood. However, Ramlal remained steadfast in his determination to pursue his dreams. Eventually, his family recognized his unwavering commitment and sent him to Kota for further preparation.

Driven by his singular goal of becoming a doctor, Ramlal decided to attempt the exam for the fifth time and chose to stay in Kota. He immersed himself in his studies, deliberately distancing himself from mobile phones and avoiding online teaching platforms. Instead, he relied on a friend's keypad mobile phone to stay in touch with his parents and wife whenever necessary.

To support Ramlal's aspirations, his father took a loan to enroll him in a coaching institute, and his mother sold her jewelry. Now, reaping the rewards of his hard work, Ramlal has returned to his village with the intention of completing his MBBS degree and serving people. His newfound ambition is to become a politician, using his medical knowledge to make a positive impact on society.
