Srinagar, July 17,2026- Hadiya Nisar, who emerged as the Jammu and Kashmir topper in NEET UG 2026, has credited perseverance, discipline, and faith for her outstanding performance after securing All India Rank (AIR) 99 and State Rank 1.
Expressing her happiness over the achievement, Hadiya said the success has brought immense joy to her family, teachers, and coaching institute.
“My All India Rank (AIR) is 99, and my state rank is 1, so naturally, there is an atmosphere of great joy all around. Everyone is excited—the coaching institute, my family, everyone. There is excitement everywhere, and I am equally happy,” she said.
Reflecting on the uncertainty surrounding the examination after it was cancelled and later rescheduled, Hadiya admitted that the situation initially created anxiety and self-doubt.
“A negative mindset is bound to develop when the exam was cancelled. There was a fear that something might go wrong again. But I resolved to keep trying my best, leaving the rest to the Almighty,” she said.
She added that once the Re-NEET was announced, she immediately returned to her study routine despite the challenges.
“When the news of the Re-NEET arrived, I resumed the same routine right from day one. Obviously, slipping back into that routine wasn’t easy—it required effort—but I put in that effort, and the results are here,” Hadiya said.
Her achievement has been widely celebrated across Jammu and Kashmir, with students, educators, and well-wishers praising her determination and resilience. Hadiya’s success is expected to inspire thousands of medical aspirants preparing for competitive examinations across the Union Territory.
