Rohit Kumar, a 20-year-old street vendor from Jharkhand's Jamshedpur, has accomplished the unthinkable by securing 549 marks in the NEET UG 2025 examination. While working round the clock to eke out a living, Rohit never lost sight of becoming a doctor.

A Tale of Determination
Rohit's medical journey started during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic while working at a local medical shop.

Being from an underprivileged family, Rohit's family was not in a position to fund his studies.

Balancing Work and Studies
Rohit supported himself by selling phone covers on the street while studying late into the night. "I'd work throughout the day and study until 3 am, sleeping for only a couple of hours before getting back to work at 7 am," he revealed in an interview. In spite of the difficulties, Rohit was dedicated to his aim, and his diligence bore fruit when he passed the NEET UG 2025 exam.
A Helping Hand from Physics Wallah
Rohit was an NEET aspirant who was enrolled in Physics Wallah's free 'Ummeed' batch. The site gave him the resources and support that he required to crack the exam. Alakh Pandey, the founder of Physics Wallah, even visited Rohit's street stall, congratulated him personally, and presented him with a doctor's coat.
