The trio of cousins have marked a milestone by cracking the NEET exam on the first attempt. Tuba Bashir, Rutba Bashir, and Arbish, the sisters from Srinagar's Nowshera, have made their valley proud.
These cousin sisters attend Srinagar's Islamia Higher Secondary School to earn their foundational education. Their families are middle class. These sisters continued their education despite decades of insurgency in the valley, and with the right guidance and parental support, they were able to pass the NEET exam.
Urbish said she didn't come from a medical family, but she still chose to become a doctor. She shared her formula for passing the NEET exam and said that she studied hard for this extremely competitive entrance exam, thinking of it as her one and only chance.
Urbish to news agency ANI during an interview, "I am feeling very happy. There was no doctor in our family, it was my own decision to become a doctor. Our parents supported us completely from the beginning. While preparing, we had to keep in mind that this was the first and last attempt, we had to walk with this determination and keep studying."
