“IDPS have fulfilled my needs like if I told my teachers that I need time for my assignments they agreed and told me to take my time.

“Like that I managed my studies, my family members along with my coaching teachers supported me alot in my preparation and my achievement.

“Yes, my father runs a chemist shop but that didn’t encourage to pursue NEET as he never let me in the shop.

“During covid when I told him to atleast let me work in shop he told me to focus on NEET as for once if I came in business line then I will become restless to earn.
