In this blog, we will discuss his mistakes on his first two attempts, his strategies, and the message he wants to convey to aspiring students.
Early Struggles: Why Harshit Couldn’t Clear NEET in His First Two Attempts?
In the first attempt, Harshit had limited information about the question pattern and difficulty level of the NEET UG exam. The major reason behind this issue is that he is from a small village in Nagaur, Rajasthan and is not aware of the latest information. Harshit says,” Everything was completely new for me, and in the beginning, my preparation went smoothly. Then, I convinced my parents to buy a smartphone, and my preparation was negatively affected by it. I got stuck in the time-wasting trap of social media. Thus, I got just 255 marks on my first attempt.”
Then, during his second attempt, his studies were affected by COVID-19 lockdowns and this time, he scored 533 marks out of 720, but still, it was insufficient to get admission in a reputed government medical college. Then, he joined the Matrix NEET Division, and though it was the first year of the Matrix, he had good faith in the institute. After joining Matrix, he eliminated all distractions, studied sincerely, and finally cracked the NEET UG 2023 by scoring 645/720 marks on his third attempt.

What Made Matrix Different: Harshit’s Experience
“Whatever the teachers taught at Matrix NEET Division was completely NEET-oriented stuff”, says Harshit on being asked what difference he found at Matrix from other coaching institutes.

During the previous two attempts, I was irregular in classes as well as test series, but this time I hardly skipped any classes or tests. Sometimes I felt demotivated some days before my exam, but Birbal Maan Sir helped me to overcome it.”
