NEET Topper Tanishka

NTA announced the NEET result on September 7, 2022 and this brought a wave of usher for many NEET aspirants including Tanishka who has secured AIR 1 with flying colors for success. Tanishka says she has come a long way to achieve this milestone due to the collective efforts of Allen Institute, Kota, Rajasthan who has helped her at every step of the learning trajectory.

She has hit the jackpot in NEET exam not because she was different from others, but because she adopted a different approach which many hesitate to do in the classroom. As a NEET aspirant, Tanishka devoted 6-7 hours daily to self-study. Her piqued curiosity in the subjects led her to ask multiple questions from teachers. Sending a message to millions of aspirants, she said that “I never hesitated to ask as many questions as possible to understand the concepts in depth”. This approach made her rise above her doubts and boosted her confidence to appear in the exam.

NEET Preparation Tips from the Stellar

A few pieces of advice coming straight from the NEET stellar performer are, “NEET students should prepare for the target from the very first day, and not at the last minute. As the course progresses in the classroom, you will have to revise the previous studies again and again. You can make small notes topic-wise.” When put to practice, these general tips bring a paramount difference in the approach to help candidates score a good rank in the exam.

Commonly asked questions
Q:   It is possible to crack NEET exam without coaching?
A: 

I will not say, it is impossible. It is possible, but you have work very hard and must give your 200% effort to crack these competitive exams. In my opinion, it is better to take coaching for NEET exam. Coaching makes your exam preparation easier. Sometimes, if you get lots of doubt then you can get it cleared by your tutor who has got subject knowledge.

Students get individual attention at coaching institutes and they focus on learning and development of students as per their requirement. Coaching centers also teach you a lot of tips, tricks and time management that help you to crack NEET exam. But, you have to be careful in choosing a right and resourceful coaching center, as there are many fraud coaching centers that works for money and not for delivering knowledge to students.

Q:   Which is the best reference book for biology for preparing NEET ?
A: 
To prepare for the Biology section of NEET the best books or study materials are NCERT textbooks. According to experts and toppers, NCERT is the best source of preparation. Based on the contents of the book, NCERT would be sufficient for NEET Biology preparation. However, students may refer to additional books and study materials. Some of the books are as follows: 1. Trueman's Biology Vol 1 and 2. Objective Biology by Dinesh 3. Objective Biology by Ansari 4. Pradeep Publication's Biology 5. Biology by GR Bathla Publications 6. SC Verma Biology.
