SRINAGAR: A teenager from militancy-infested south Kashmir’s Pulwama district has topped the NEET examination from the Union Territory despite internet connectivity issues in most parts of the valley since over a year.
Basit Bilal Khan (18) secured 695 marks out of 720 in the NEET exam, the result of which was declared on Friday.
Khan, hailing from Ratnipora village in Pulwama, said while he worked very hard for the competitive examination, frequent internet outages and slow network speed created a lot of hardships.
“I am thankful to God for bestowing this success on me.
I am thankful of my parents who supported me always and also of my teachers who showed me a track and guided me and worked hard on me,” he told reporters near a private study centre here where he studied for the exams.
