Shoyeb Aftab Family
Son of a businessman and a homemaker, Shoyeb is the first in his family who would be joining a medical college.
As a student, Shoyeb recounts, he was good in studies but not exceptionally so. When he was in Class 8, his father, who was a tea merchant at the time, suffered tremendous financial losses. It was then that his father changed his business but Shoyeb was not certain if his family could afford coaching classes in Kota.

“I came to know about Tallentex – the scholarship program of Allen, which is at par with NEET level. It was then that I focussed and started to put in my effort. After I cleared the exam, I was motivated and also started to put in more effort,” Soyeb shared.
Managing school and self-study required some work. Shoyeb used to go to his coaching classes directly from school and his day usually started at 6 am and finished at 7 pm. After this, Soyeb used to devote 2 to 3 hours for self-study.
“I was not happy with the 3 hours of self-study and would devote the holidays and Sundays for self-study. On those days I put in 13 – 14 hours uninterrupted. For my Class 12 boards, I only started to study in the month of January.” Shoyeb scored 96 percent marks in his CBSE Class 12 board examinations.
