Dedication and true passion pay off in the end, no matter how challenging the whole situation was. A notable example of this is Merajuddin Khan a resident of Kashmir, who cleared his NEET UG through self-study. Merajuddin’s life hasn’t been easy and replete with struggles. Merajuddin Khan is the son of a Kashmiri street food seller. His father runs a barbeque shop and during rush hours when people flocked to this famous Tujae stall in Baramulla, Merajuddin used to help him also. Tujjae is the Kashmiri name for fried meat served on wooden skewers and is a popular street food.
His parents and family often opposed his decision to pass the NEET exam and enter medical school. However, his parents and family are now overwhelmed as Merrajuddin has cleared NEET despite helping his father run the store. Merajuddin Khan got 591 marks in the exam.
