Kruti, who wants to be a doctor, said is expecting a medical seat at the Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute in the city. “I would love to continue my education in Bengaluru and I hope that I score good marks in NEET,” she said. Revealing her success mantra, Kruti said that she followed a timetable at home for the last three months and tried to clear tough topics first, trying to avoid any last-minute preparations.
