Eighteen-year-old Lorashree Behera wanted to become a doctor to understand how the brain and mind work. She cracked the national level medical entrance exam, NEET UG on her first attempt. With a score of 695, she got admission to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack, Odisha.
With an interest in medical science and modern medical technologies, she joined online classes in Class 11 intending to pursue MBBS and wear a white coat, one day. She remained consistent in her preparation for NEET UG which bore fruits once Lorashree aced the exam.
She told indianexpress.com, “I used to attend regular coaching classes and then revise my class notes, do module and previous year questions. I took every test with sincerity and analysed my mistake to increase the chance of improvement.”
After her coaching session, she would revise.
“I would start revising the class notes between 9 pm and 11 pm. After that, I would solve some questions from the module related to current topics and the questions that I couldn’t solve during the class. I usually complete my studies by 2 am. I had school between 10 am and 4 pm. Hence, I usually studied at night,” said Behera, who scored 96.6 percent in CBSE Class 12.
She focused on making self notes for subjects like organic chemistry, plant physiology, inorganic chemistry and some important chapters of physics and physical chemistry. Notes made the revision quite easy and time-saving, she added. In case she could not understand a topic, she would ask the concerned teacher again and again, till the time she grasps the concept.
“I always enjoyed studying, thus I rarely had stress about it. Attending regular school, making notes, practicing questions daily, and always keeping myself up to date in my studies helped me later,” claimed the girl who ranked 2224.
Behera further shared how is life is hectic in her college. “We have classes from 9 am till 5 pm. After coming back to the hostel, I revise and read the chapters taught in class and prepare in advance for the next days. Practicals and dissection hall hours are truly amazing and adventurous.”
She claims that the patient flow in the hospital is enormous, which motivates her to work harder to provide quality service to people.
