Minerva group hosts blessing ceremony for NEET aspirants

Ghumarwin (Bilaspur): In a heartfelt gesture of encouragement and support, Minerva Study Circle in Ghumarwin organized a special “Blessing Ceremony” for its NEET aspirants ahead of the upcoming national-level examination. The event, held on Wednesday, aimed to instill confidence and composure among students appearing for NEET 2024.

During the ceremony, teachers and non-teaching staff applied ceremonial tilak on students’ foreheads, offering blessings and words of encouragement. The initiative served not only as a motivational send-off but also as a reminder of the importance of self-belief and emotional strength during high-pressure exams.

Rakesh Chandel, the institute’s general manager, addressed the gathering with an inspiring message. “You are our diamonds, and diamonds never lose their shine. We have immense faith in your hard work. Success is inevitable for those who persevere,” he said. He reminded students that exams are just a part of life and not the ultimate goal. “Some may succeed, others may not, but learning is a lifelong asset,” he added.

Minerva Study Circle founder Pravesh Chandel echoed a similar sentiment. “Education is a treasure that no one can steal. Life offers many paths, and even if you miss one opportunity, many more will arise. Never lose heart due to competition,” he told students, emphasizing that resilience and good education open doors to success.

Prior to the ceremony, a preparatory NEET mock exam was conducted under real-exam conditions, adhering to all guidelines. “The purpose of this mock test was to help students maintain enthusiasm and composure before the actual exam,” said Rakesh Chandel.

Managing director Swadesh Chandel highlighted the institute’s consistent performance in competitive exams. “Last year, 53 of our students qualified for NEET, and we expect even better results this year,” he stated. He also announced that new batches for NEET 2026 will commence from May 12, and JEE Mains preparation is already underway at the institute.
