From 213 in NEET’s Easiest Paper to 529 in Its Toughest — Jason’s 316-Mark Comeback
In a world obsessed with quick results and overnight success, some stories remind us that true transformation takes time, trust, and the right environment.
Meet Jason Hans Adapakul — a student from Bangalore who scored just 213 in NEET 2024, a paper considered the easiest in recent years. Many would have stopped there. Many did.
Jason chose differently.
The St. Mary’s Decision
Instead of giving up or compromising, Jason made a decision that would change everything: he joined the NEET Long Term (NLT) Program at St. Mary’s Undedasaralli, Chikmagalur. A calm, focused campus tucked away from distractions, St. Mary’s offered more than just coaching — it offered a system.
A system of:
• Daily doubt-solving with teachers who stayed back until every question was answered
• Mentorship from doctors, authors, and experienced faculty who knew what it took to succeed
• Structured materials designed by experts, not publishers
• Dedicated self-study time — a luxury in most NEET setups, a priority at
St. Mary’s
The Result: NEET 2025 — 529 Marks
In what is widely considered the toughest NEET paper in recent history, Jason scored 529.
That’s a +316 mark improvement over his previous attempt.
From frustration to focus. From disappointment to distinction. From 213 to 529.
What Changed?
“I didn’t just get coaching here. I got clarity. I got space to study. And I got teachers who never stopped believing in me.”
Jason’s story isn’t about one brilliant test.
It’s about the power of persistence, the right environment, and a system that doesn’t treat every student the same — but treats every student like they matter.
Why St. Mary’s NLT Works
The NEET Long Term Program at St. Mary’s isn’t just a repeat year. It’s a complete reset. Designed specifically for students who want to go from average to excellence, it offers:
• Tailored lesson plans based on student history
• Continuous assessments to monitor growth
• One-on-one mentoring and emotional support
• Small batch sizes that allow for personalised attention
At St. Mary’s, you don’t just study harder — you study smarter.
A Message to Future NEET Aspirants
If you think one bad score defines your future, think again. If you believe NEET is only about coaching and books, think again. If you think improvement of this scale isn’t possible, look at Jason.
Because somewhere in a quiet corner of Chikmagalur, a student once said, “Let me try one more time.”
And that made all the difference.
St. Mary’s NEET Long Term Program is not just a course. It’s a commitment to students who are ready to rise.
