Bikaner (Rajasthan): Dreams often demand sacrifice, but for siblings Noorul Hassan and Samiya Khatoon, the journey to NEET 2026 required extraordinary resilience. While preparing for one of India’s toughest entrance examinations, the brother-sister duo battled far more than academic pressure. They cared for their ailing father after kidney failure, stood by their mother as she donated one of her kidneys to save her husband, and studied in a noisy one-room house in the congested lanes of Old Bikaner.
Against these overwhelming odds, both siblings have successfully qualified NEET (UG) 2026 in their very first attempt, bringing them closer to their dream of securing admission to a government medical college in Rajasthan.
A Family Crisis That Tested Their Resolve
The siblings’ preparation coincided with one of the most difficult phases of their family’s life. Their father suffered kidney failure, leaving the family devastated. Their mother made the courageous decision to donate one of her kidneys to save her husband’s life.
As both parents underwent treatment and recovery, Noorul and Samiya found themselves balancing the demanding preparation required for NEET with the emotional and physical responsibility of caring for their family.
Adding to the challenge was their living condition. The family resides in a single-room house in the crowded neighbourhood of Old Bikaner, where constant noise and limited space offered little opportunity for uninterrupted study.
Yet the siblings refused to let their circumstances define their future.
Turning Adversity Into Achievement
Months of perseverance, discipline and unwavering determination finally paid off.
Noorul Hassan emerged with an impressive 609 out of 720 marks, securing a 99.6196300 percentile and an All India Rank (AIR) of 7,596.
His sister, Samiya Khatoon, also delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 568 out of 720, achieving a 98.76 percentile, and securing AIR 24,790.
Their scores have placed both siblings in a strong position to secure admission to government medical colleges in Rajasthan.

‘Our Hard Work and Patience Have Been Rewarded’

Their words reflect not just academic success but relief after years of emotional struggle and unwavering commitment.
A Story Beyond Examination Scores
For Noorul and Samiya, NEET was never merely an entrance examination. It represented hope for a better future—not only for themselves but also for their family.
Their journey demonstrates that determination can flourish even in the most challenging circumstances. Preparing for a highly competitive examination while navigating a major medical crisis at home required remarkable mental strength, discipline and resilience.
As they prepare to begin their medical education, the siblings carry with them lessons shaped by hardship, compassion and perseverance. Their success stands as an inspiring reminder that circumstances may delay dreams, but they do not have the power to define them.
