Indore's Utkarsh Awadhiya secured All India Rank 2 in NEET UG 2025. He emphasized hard work, enjoying the process, and the benefits of hostel life for studying.

As the result of NEET UG 2025 has been declared, Indore’s Utkarsh Awadhiya has secured All India Rank 2 in the exam. Speaking to news agency ANI, Utkarsh said that he continued working hard and enjoyed the journey. He also said that the journey was very difficult for him, but he enjoyed it at every step.

The NEET topper further said that he lived in a hostel, as the study environment created in a hostel cannot be created at home. Giving details about his father, the boy said that he is a branch manager in an HDFC Bank and that his mother is a housewife. He also has a younger brother and will be preparing for JEE. 

Giving a message to the future aspirants, Utkarsh asked them not to use mobile phones if they want to prepare for NEET. He also asked the aspirants to stay away from social media.

"I continued working hard and enjoyed the journey. It is not that this journey was very difficult for me. I enjoyed this journey at every step... I lived in a hostel because the study environment created in a hostel cannot be created at home. My father is a branch manager in HDFC Bank. My mother is a housewife. I also have a younger brother. He will probably prepare for the JEE. I would like to tell children that if you want to prepare well for NEET, then do not use mobile too much. You should stay away from social media…,”  Awadhiya said as quoted by news agency ANI.
