How Physics Wallah Supported Umar’s Journey from Labour Work to Scoring 601 in NEET

Preparing for NEET is challenging for any student, but for Umar, the journey came with far greater obstacles. Growing up in a financially struggling family, he began working at a very young age to support his household. His days were physically demanding, yet he continued studying late into the night with limited resources.

Physics Wallah’s Yakeen batch played an important role in helping Umar stay consistent despite his challenges. Despite these hardships, he remained focused on his dream of becoming a doctor and managed to balance work with his studies through online learning. His achievement of scoring 601 marks in NEET stands as a powerful example of perseverance, discipline, and the impact of accessible education.

Early Struggles That Built Umar’s Determination

Umar grew up in a small village near Pulwama, Kashmir, in a family of five. His mother managed the household while his father and elder brother worked as daily labourers to support the family. Despite financial hardships, Umar attended the local government school from Class 1 to Class 12. 

     “Mere family mein meri maa, baap, bhai aur ek behen hai… total paanch members hain.”

     “Third class se mujhe mazdoori karni padi.”

His father was already elderly, which made Umar’s contribution even more crucial. From a very young age, he began balancing labour work and studies—a challenge that would continue for over a decade.

     “Main seb utarne jaata tha… subah 9 baje se kaam shuru hota tha aur shaam 6 baje tak chalta tha.”

For a full day of labour, he would earn around Rs 500, which helped support his household expenses.

      “Din ka lagbhag 500 milta tha.”

After a long day of physical labour, he returned home and resumed his studies late into the night. His study schedule often lasted from 7 PM to midnight, and he would wake up at 3 AM to continue studying before school.

     “Shaam 7 baje se raat 12 baje tak padhta tha aur phir subah 3 baje uthkar 8 baje tak padhta tha.”

This routine meant he slept only a few hours each day.

     “Sote teen ghante the… roz.”

This routine of long workdays and short nights of study went on for nearly 10–12 years. His early life taught him to balance responsibilities and make the most of every moment, laying the foundation for the resilience that would later drive his academic and personal achievements.

Studying with Limited Resources and Community Support

Umar’s education largely depended on self-study. His government school had minimal resources, and study materials were often difficult to obtain.

Sometimes he borrowed books from neighbours who had previously prepared for competitive exams.

     “Ek humsaya se kitab li thi… woh pehle NEET ki taiyari kar raha tha.”

Occasionally, educated people in the village helped him understand difficult topics.

     “Gaon mein kuch log madad karte the… ek doctor bhi the jo samjhate the.”

With these limited resources and support from his surroundings, Umar gradually built the foundation for his preparation.

How Physics Wallah’s Yakeen Batch Supported Umar’s NEET Preparation Journey

For a long time, Umar was unaware of competitive exam preparation due to the lack of a smartphone at home.

      “Mere paas mobile nahi tha… ghar par bhi mobile nahi tha.”

After saving money through labour work, he finally bought a phone to access study resources.

      “Maine 7000 ka phone kharida.”

This small step became a turning point in his journey.

Once he had access to online learning, Umar explored different resources and came across Physics Wallah’s NEET content. He eventually enrolled in the Yakeen batch.

      “Maine Yakeen batch liya.”

The course fee was initially Rs. 4000, which was difficult for him to afford. He waited for a price drop during a festival offer before purchasing it.

      “Pehle 4000 ka tha, phir 3500 ka ho gaya… tab maine liya.”

 Even then, he had to work extra days to pay for it.

      “Paanch-chhe din mazdoori karke batch liya.”

Due to limited internet access, Umar relied mostly on recorded lectures instead of live classes.

      “Live class nahi dekh pata tha… recorded lectures dekhta tha.”

 Along with these lectures and NCERT books, he focused on understanding concepts clearly and practising questions regularly.

As the exam approached, he started giving mock tests to evaluate his preparation.

      “Maine paanch saat test diye the.”

Scoring between 595 and 612 in these tests boosted his confidence, even as he continued balancing labour work and studies.

When Umar finally appeared for NEET, his hard work paid off—he scored 601 marks.

     “Maine NEET mein 601 number laaye.”

Umar’s journey from working in apple orchards to securing 601 marks in NEET is a powerful reminder that determination and consistent effort can overcome even the toughest circumstances. Through years of labour, self-study, and finally the support of Physics Wallah’s Yakeen batch, Umar turned limited resources into a life-changing opportunity. His story continues to inspire students across the country who are preparing for competitive exams despite financial or social challenges.
