Amid eviction worries, Assam boy cracks NEET
The Hindu
Ahmed Ali appeared for the test 3 months after an eviction drive began in his area
Ahmed Ali appeared for the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) 11 days before two people in his neighbourhood died in police firing during an eviction drive in Darrang district’s Gorukhuti area on September 23.
He cracked the entrance exam with an all-India rank of 48,734 to bring some cheer amid the gloom that had set in since the Assam government initiated the eviction drive for an agricultural project in the Gorukhuti area in June.
Ahmed, the second youngest of eight siblings, had cleared his Class 12 in 2019 and spent a year in Guwahati to undergo coaching for NEET. His dream to become a doctor did not materialise in 2020.
