Her father is a businessman, while her mother is a homemaker. Her younger brother is also preparing for NEET examination.“My main focus was studying at night. I found it easier to concentrate in silence rather than during the daytime distractions,” Siddiqui said. “During the preparation phase, I compromised heavily on sleep. Out of 24 hours, I slept only five hours.”She said her preparation strategy went beyond textbook learning and focused extensively on solving previous years’ question papers within strict time limits. “The practice of solving previous years’ papers proved extremely beneficial during the actual examination,” she said.Chairman of Kalmegh Dental College, Hemant Kalmegh said Siddiqui’s achievement reflects the increasing competitiveness of students from smaller cities in national entrance examinations, particularly in specialised medical and dental streams.
