Summary
- A medical aspirant endured the NEET-PG exam while her parents were missing in Nepal.
- The student found it difficult to focus, crying for about half the exam duration.
- A photo on the exam screen, taken by her father, made the test even harder.
A medical aspirant faced profound personal tragedy while undertaking her crucial NEET-PG examination on August 30. Tanvi's parents were among a 67-member group who went missing in Nepal following severe floods on August 26. Despite the overwhelming worry and uncertainty, Tanvi proceeded to her examination center.
Throughout the three-hour test, Tanvi struggled to maintain concentration, admitting to spending approximately half the time crying. The exam's biometric process left ink on her thumb, a stark reminder of her situation. A particularly poignant moment occurred when a photograph on the NEET-PG screen, taken by her father, intensified her distress.
Fueled by the belief that her parents would want her to complete the exam, Tanvi found the strength to continue. She also deeply missed a pre-exam ritual where her mother would prepare curd and sugar for good luck. Her sole hope remains for her parents' safe return, a sentiment shared by other families anxiously awaiting news from Nepal.
