51-Year-Old Tamil Nadu Man Clears NEET, Pursues Medical Degree After 34 Years
A 51-year-old man from Tamil Nadu, A Suresh Kumar, cleared the NEET exam 34 years after completing his Class 12, fulfilling his long-held dream of becoming a medical doctor. Despite holding two PhDs and an MBA and having a career in pharmacy and diagnostics, Kumar pursued medicine after the Supreme Court removed age limits for NEET. Supported by his wife and motivated by a past injury, he secured a seat at Nagapattinam Medical College near his home, emphasizing that age is not a barrier to achieving goals.
