Appearing for the fourth time, Nazia secured 668 marks in NEET (UG) 2021 and ranked 1759 nationally and 477 in OBC category.
The 22-year-old attributed his success to several factors, including the coaching he received at Kota’s Allen Institute and a cycle he received from the state government after Class 9.
After Class VIII, Nazia went to a school in Bhawani Mandi, which was located some distance from her village. It was the gift of the bicycle that helped him travel to distant school every day and allowed him to fulfill his dream.
Born in a poverty-stricken family with no educational background, Nazia was helped on her way to success, along with government cash scholarships she earned in class 10 and class 12.
It was a scholarship of about one lakh rupees, which helped him to pay for his coaching in the city.
“The two scholarships given by the state government were no less than a boon to me as they paved the way for my success,” Nazia told PTI on Friday.
Native to a village near Bhawanimandi in Jhalawar district, Nazia’s father Isamuddin is a loading tempo driver and her mother Amina Bi is a homemaker, who also works as a daily wage laborer in agricultural fields.
After scoring more than 90 percentile in class 12, Nazia enrolled herself in Allen Career Institute, which helped her to get 487, 518, 602 marks respectively in her first three attempts in the competitive exam.
Her consistently improving scores encouraged her to take another pass at the difficult entrance, scoring 668 for the fourth time.
Impressed by his dedication, the institute gave him a fee waiver of 75 per cent during his fourth attempt.
“Allen Career Institute is always ready to support the talents who have the aspiration to prosper. The director of the institute, Naveen Maheshwari said, Nazia has brought laurels to the family and the village.
“Such children will later become an example to the region and society and an inspiration to other students. ‘Allen’ will continue to help such children.”
Nazia thanked the institute for supporting her “dream” and said that she wants to become a gynecologist after completing her MBBS.
She has a younger brother who studies in class 10th and a sister who has recently passed 12th.
