Leena Khandelwal, a native of Jaipur, Rajasthan, secured an impressive All India Rank of 23 in the NEET UG exam by scoring 710 out of 720. She is now studying in AIIMS Delhi.

Success doesn’t always come from doing extraordinary things—it often comes from doing ordinary things with extraordinary dedication. Leena Khandelwal’s NEET journey is a perfect example. Hailing from Jaipur, Rajasthan, Leena cracked the NEET UG exam with an impressive All India Rank of 23, scoring 710 out of 720. She is the only girl from her state to feature in the top 30 list across the country.

Leena is the first in her family to step into the field of medicine. Coming from a non-medical background, she was determined to make her mark—and she did, with hard work, focus, and a clear strategy.

Strategy: Stick To NCERT And Stay Consistent

While many aspirants get overwhelmed by the vast pool of resources available for NEET preparation, Leena followed a different approach. She kept things simple. She focused solely on NCERT textbooks and consistently revised the same set of study material. According to her, reading from multiple books can create unnecessary confusion. Instead, using one reliable source and practising regularly helped her gain clarity and confidence.

Like most students of her generation, Leena had to deal with the sudden shift to online learning during the pandemic. At first, it wasn’t easy. She struggled with the lack of physical interaction and the new format of digital classes. But rather than letting it become a hurdle, she adapted quickly. She joined a private coaching institute and made the best use of the online resources and study material provided.

Now Pursuing MBBS At AIIMS Delhi

Leena’s exceptional score earned her a seat at the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi—one of the most sought-after medical colleges in the country. As per official records, she is currently in her third year of the MBBS programme.

Leena’s journey is a testament to the fact that you don’t need shortcuts or fancy strategies to succeed—what you need is consistency, focus, and the willingness to adapt. Her story continues to inspire thousands of NEET aspirants across India who dream of wearing the white coat one day.
