Bangalore, 28th November 2021: Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), the national leader in test preparatory services, organised “Toppers Talk” by NEET topper Sonit Sai Reddy Vasipalli from Aakash Institute, Bangalore who scored 705 in NEET UG 2021 and secured AIR 56. Sonit, along with other students, (Jashan Chhabra: Karnataka State topper in NEET 2021,Sonit Sai Reddy: NEET 2021 AIR 56,Pranav K V: NEET 2021 AIR 60, Aditi Rubi singh: NEET 2021 AIR 293,Akita murthy: KCET 2021 – 8th Ranker in Engineering) were also facilitated.
When it came to subjects, it was not easy for Sonit to decide on whether to pursue Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Physics, Chemistry, Math. He was happy learning both till Class IX. But he realised that he had to make a decision soon, if he were to score high in a competitive exam. Sonit chose the former as he started developing a liking for biology. His mother, who was working as a biochemist and who quit her job to be available for Sonit and his younger sister, helped him make the right decision.
Though Sonit could save time as he did not have to travel to the center for his classes and tests during the lockdown, he did not know how to use it. He says: “Here is where Aakash came into the picture. The institute had introduced a structure to his preparations from the beginning till the end. It gave me resources like NCERT Maps, diagrams, and formula books. I got new perspectives of the same subject. I did not feel bored.”
Sonit found physics extremely interesting, but he was comparatively weak in organic chemistry. He read over and over again but he could not make much progress. So he tried new ways of conquering the subject. One of them was listening to explanations from Aakash’s staff and writing short notes. With time, he was making progress. Sonit’s future goal is to realise his potential and make a difference to the society in whatever way possible. He is looking forward to joining a reputed medical college.
