But when the result of NEET came, his dreams got as the eclipse.

Mental Health: An unseen needs

Shakib’s story is the story of millions of students who are living under pressure from competitive examinations. Thousands of students reach every year in cities like Kota to prepare for examinations like NEET and JEE, but only a few people get success.

Parents and teachers should also interact openly with children, so that they can express their feelings.
