An alumnus of CBSE affiliated Bhawan, Vadodara, Gujarat, she has cleared the medical entrance exam with 710 marks out of a total of 720 or 99.9992 percentile. Zeel had scored 99.2 per cent in class 10th and 98 per cent in class 12th. He started preparing for NEET immediately after clearing the 10th standard.

Talking about NEET preparation strategy, like other toppers, he too believes that if one understands the concepts, half the job is done. Understanding the concepts is more important than the number of books in this exam.

“I started with the basics and then gradually moved my preparation to the advanced level. First I need to understand the basic concepts. If we don’t understand the basic concepts then we will not be able to attempt questions on them.”

Zeel further adds, “I stuck to the NEET syllabus and pattern. The last month was for practicing and attempting mock tests. Since class 12th and NEET syllabus is coming together, the study hours for both the exams are covered together.

The syllabus of both is same. It’s all about understanding the concept. If I understand the concept then it is okay for me to attempt both board and medical entrance type questions.”

I also followed the order of question paper and started my exam with Physics, followed by Chemistry, and then Biology. ,
