The Story in Brief
Suresh Kumar, a 51-year-old resident of Velankanni in Tamil Nadu, has secured a government MBBS seat at Nagapattinam Government Medical College through NEET UG 2026 with 192 marks. He holds two PhDs, an MBA and a postgraduate degree in pharmacology, and works in the diagnostics industry. Hindistan Times reports he qualified under the PwD quota.
The Indian Opinion
Suresh Kumar's story is heartwarming, but let us not pretend it holds lessons for 18-year-olds chasing the same dream. NEET is a zero-sum game with 2.4 million applicants for roughly 100,000 seats. The PwD quota where Kumar succeeded had only 108 applicants for 224 seats. The sports quota had 280 for 15. The real test is whether medical colleges will function well with a student who will retire before most batchmates finish residency.
