Personal Opinion
The series is a good watch. It sums up the life of a student studying in Kota. Every year thousands of NEET, JEE aspirants leave their homes and go to Kota to study. So, this series is a reflection of their lives.
Every NEET and JEE aspirant can very well relate to the situations shown in the series. The competitive pressure that every student faces is immense.
The students get involved so deeply in the preparation for the competitive exams that they forget about the rest of the world and completely cut themselves off from it.
It also tells about the need for friends in life. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
