Srishti Dubey suffered nine broken ribs and lung injuries in a road accident on June 14. She underwent major vascular surgery and was placed on artificial ventilation. She has since been extubated and is now recovering. Despite her condition, she remained determined to appear for the NEET exam.

Shrishti’s father asked the National Testing Agency (NTA) to help her take the test. He also informed the authorities that ILS Hospital, where she was treated, would provide the necessary medical support, including doctors, paramedics and other required arrangements.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also spoke to Shrishti’s parents on Sunday. Her parents expressed their gratitude to the National Tourism Agency and the Minister during the phone call.
