NEET AIR 3954 PW Saarthi Success Story: Kumkum's Journey with Physics Wallah

NEET preparation can feel overwhelming when students are unsure which resources to follow, how to stay consistent, and whether their efforts are moving in the right direction. Kumkum faced similar challenges while preparing for NEET, especially with the pressure to choose the right study approach and stay focused throughout her preparation.

To bring more structure to her preparation, Kumkum joined Physics Wallah's Yakeen 2.0 batch and kept NCERT at the core of her studies. With consistent preparation, focused practice, and guidance through PW, she worked towards her goal and secured AIR 3954 in NEET. Her PW Saarthi interview shares her preparation journey and learnings for other aspirants.

How Kumkum's NEET Journey Began with PW Saarthi

Kumkum's preparation took shape with Physics Wallah's Yakeen 2.0 batch, where she built her base for NEET from the ground up. When asked where she had studied from, her answer was straightforward.

"Yakeen 2.0, PW se."

She didn't look elsewhere for study material either. Right from books to her revision content, everything she used came from the same batch, which kept her preparation streamlined instead of scattered across multiple sources.

"Books maine PW se hi liya tha."

This decision to stick to one structured source, rather than juggling different platforms, became the backbone of how she approached each subject — especially the one she found toughest to manage on her own.

The Struggle: NCERT vs Mock Test Debate

During the rapid-fire round, she was asked whether NCERT alone was enough to crack NEET, or whether mock tests were equally important. Her answer cut through a debate that many aspirants get stuck on.

"Dono hi, but agar puchna chahen mock test na dein, sirf NCERT se selection nahi ho sakta hai."

For Kumkum, NCERT gave her the base, but mock tests were what turned that base into exam-ready preparation. 

She also made her subject preference clear, choosing Biology over Physics when asked directly, and admitted she was a night owl through her prep, staying consistent with the routine that worked for her rather than forcing herself into a different one.

How Physics Wallah Shaped Kumkum's Preparation

Physics is often the subject where NEET aspirants feel the need to make elaborate notes, but Kumkum took a different route. She relied entirely on her PW Physics faculty's teaching instead of building a separate notes system.

"MR sir ki Physics maine use ki thi. Maine koi notes nahi banaya tha Physics mein. Maine sara jo revision kiya hai, starting se lekar end, maine PW ki jo Physics thi wahi se kiya tha."

This let her focus that time on practice and revision cycles instead. Even her college preference reflected the same clarity of purpose — when asked to choose between an AIIMS college or one closer to home, she didn't hesitate.

"AIIMS."

That single-word answer says a lot about how focused her goal was through the preparation phase. 

From AIR 3954 to Kumkum’s Dream Coming True

When result day came, Kumkum wasn't entirely sure what rank she'd land, even though she was confident about her selection.

"Selection ka toh pata tha par rank ka nahi pata tha ki better rank aayegi, toppers mein aayenge ya medium level mein aayenge."

She secured AIR 3954, and the first people she shared the news with were her parents, followed by her sibling, who she said was just as thrilled with the result. 

Kumkum also had a clear message for aspirants who let internet chatter convince them that NEET selection is nearly impossible without extraordinary effort or resources.

"Agar hum bina soche only goal pe focus karein na, toh hum easily usko crack kar sakte hain... "

With her result secured, her next goal is already clear.

"MBBS karna hai. Main banungi. Sapna pura ho raha hai."

What Aspirants Can Take Away from Kumkum's Story

Kumkum's NEET journey wasn't built on shortcuts or scattered resources; it was built on sticking to one structured plan through PW Saarthi's Yakeen 2.0 batch, trusting NCERT alongside regular mock tests, and tuning out the noise that convinces so many aspirants that selection is out of reach. 

For anyone preparing for NEET 2026 and feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice online, her story is a reminder that consistent, focused preparation, not fear, is what gets results.
