Innovative Preparation Strategy Without Offline Coaching
The daughter of a tyre shop owner, Shabreen adopted a unique and resourceful approach to her studies. She did not enroll in any offline coaching classes, instead relying on a combination of regular school attendance and online resources, particularly YouTube lectures. In an interview with ANI, she explained her method: "I studied Urdu, Maths and English from YouTube, while I studied Hindi, Science and Social Science at school."
Shabreen cited time constraints as the primary reason for avoiding offline coaching, stating, "I did not take offline coaching due to lack of time, so I resorted to YouTube lectures." Her preparation was further supported by her family, with her brother, who teaches at an academy, providing additional guidance. "My brother helped me as well," she added, highlighting the collaborative effort at home.
Aspirations to Pursue Medicine and NEET Preparation
Following the announcement of her Matric results, Shabreen has set her sights on a career in medicine. She expressed her ambition clearly: "I want to be a doctor, and I will prepare for NEET."
