Read on to know more about Kartik Bhendekar’s NEET success journey and how IIB has boosted his performance in the NEET exam.
Kartik Bhendekar NEET Success Story
Kartik Bhendekar started NEET preparation right after class 10th by enrolling in a two-year classroom program, which gives him plenty of time, guidance and concept clarity to face the challenges in the NEET exam. He was very confident on the exam day and reached the exam centre on time to prevent last-minute hassle. Once the exam started, he felt nervous as the exam paper was quite tricky. He took a glance at the question paper and relaxed & recalled what was taught at the IIB Centre to handle the situation.
Kartik began with the Physics section, which turned out to be the toughest paper. He solves a few questions and moves to the other section, which was a wise strategy to complete the paper on time (Time Management skill). He then attempted the Biology and Chemistry section, which was also very lengthy and took time. Last, he solved the Physics section. 9 questions remained unanswered at the end, costing him marks, but he was satisfied with his performance.
Challenges Faced by Kartik During the Exam
As we all are aware, the NEET 2025 exam was of a moderate difficulty level, and all students face challenges in scoring high. Kartik also felt nervous when he got stuck on some tricky questions in Physics; his mind was partially blank, but he applied the stress management technique learned at IIB and attempted other sections, which helped him to complete the exam paper on time, smartly.
He recalled the time when he scored low on the practice test papers during the preparation for the NEET exam at IIB, but with the help of the team at IIB, his performance improved. All these circumstances boost his confidence at the exam centre and help him score well in the exam.
What Message Kartik Wants to Deliver to the NEET 2026 Aspirants
To the NEET aspirant 2026, Kartik wants to say only one thing that does not start expecting from the beginning that “ I can score this many marks in the NEET exam” as it will let you hope more, increase pressure and stress. Give your best performance. He also shared his experience that he expected 700+ in the NEET exam, which burdened him during the exam preparation and at the exam centre.
Kartik’s Experience At IIB Career Institute
Kartik joined a two-year classroom program at IIB and was overwhelmed by the introductory classes and the warm welcome from the IIB team before the commencement of the new batch. In the initial phase, he was not able to solve the practice sheet as it was not easy for him to understand the conceptual questions. He seeks guidance from the IIB teachers, and their support lets him solve the problems easily. He also appreciates the doubt-clearing sessions as they help him to gain insight into the complex topics.
