SEVEN years after missing out on a medical seat due to NEET, MV Nila Bharathi has emerged Tamil Nadu's top scorer in the Indian Forest Service (IFS) exam, securing All India Rank 24 in the results announced on Tuesday.

- SUBASHINI VIJAYAKUMAR @ Chennai

Her dream of becoming a doctor was crushed in 2017, the year NEET became mandatory. Despite scoring an impressive 1,169 marks in Class 12 board exams, she couldn't secure a medical seat owing to NEET rank. Her twin sister, MV Anbu Bharathi, also faced the same situation.

Not to be bogged down, both opted to pursue B.Sc. Agriculture with the aim of clearing UPSC later.
