Undeterred, Harika devoted all her energies to her studies. Harika told TNIE that for her first two attempts, she prepared by herself, studying the syllabus. “Noticing my interest, a cousin gifted me a mobile phone. I used the mobile to follow recorded lessons on YouTube. I spent about 10 hours every day on studies,” Harika said. Her hard work paid off, and she was ranked 40,958 at the national level and 703 at the State level in her third attempt in 2022. She got admission in the Government Medical College, Siddipet.
