Hyderabad: Hina Mohammadi Begum, a 20-year-old girl living in sheer poverty in Hyderabad and the daughter of an auto rickshaw driver, has secured a free seat at Shadan Medical College.
In the Nationlal Eligibility Entrace Test, an all India competitive test for admission in Medical colleges across India, Begum - who studied in government schools and colleges and found it difficult to get coaching for NEET - performed impressively.
In a test in which 1.5 million young girls and boys appeared, she got admission into the prestigious institution.
The significance of her achievement can be gaged from the fact that a medical seat in management quota costs a student Rs 12 million or more.
