51-Year-Old Tamil Nadu Man with Two PhDs Clears NEET to Study Medicine
Suresh Kumar, a 51-year-old from Tamil Nadu with two PhDs and an MBA, has cleared the NEET exam to pursue his long-held dream of becoming a medical doctor, 34 years after completing Class 12. Despite a successful career in pharmacy and diagnostics, family responsibilities initially prevented him from studying medicine. Supported by his wife and motivated by the removal of NEET's age limit, he prepared while working full-time and secured a seat at Nagapattinam Medical College under the PwD quota following a past accident.
