NEET 2020: 23 Muslim Girls from Delhi Govt School in Jamia Nagar qualified successfully

In a remarkable performance, as many as 569 students from government schools in Delhi have cracked the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) this year – 379 of them are girls. Of these girls, 23 are from one school in Noor Nagar locality in the Jamia Nagar area.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy and Education Minister Manish Sisodia have congratulated all 569 successful students and their parents and promised them monetary support for their higher education.

The Vice Principal of Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya- Noor Nagar has expressed happiness on the success of her 23 students in NEET-2020.

“This is a proud moment for this area. Our teachers and students have been working very hard. These children have given us what we were expecting, rather the success of so many students was unexpected. We were expecting that 15-18 students will crack this exam but 23 have cleared it. We have given one mantra to our students –



work hard silently and let success make noise,” said Mudassir Jahan, Vice Principal of the school.

Areeba, one of the successful girls from the Noor Nagar school, said: “This is a normal government school. I have studied here from Class 9th to 12th. In class X, I had got 78% marks and in Class XII, I got 83% marks.”

Areeba, eldest among three siblings, has qualified the NEET-2020 but as her marks are not higher she will get admission in private medical college whose fees her parents cannot afford. She, therefore, plans to sit for NEET again next year.

She could not take any coaching for the NEET-2020.

She has requested the Delhi government to provide support to girls like her to attend online classes.

Areeba’s father is an electrician who could study till Class X.

Many of these successful students from government schools are from poor or lower middle class families.
