She was also selected for Navodaya coaching at Pune. NEET exam were held on September 13. But Tanuja’s home was declared as containment zone and was sealed during that time.
Tanuja was also suffering from fever that time and could not attend the exam. NTA reconducted the exams as per Supreme court’s direction. But this time she had to send certain documents through e-mail.

Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and Minister Dr Sudhakar immediately intervened and spoke to the officials to allow her to appear in the exam.
Delighted by this development her mother expressed her gratitude and said “ We were worried that Tanuja was not able to write the exam, but the CM and the minister intervened at right time and gave her a chance to fulfil her dream. Examination agency had told that she could not take the NEET exam as she has failed to submit the documents in time. I am thankful to the Chief Minister and Dr Sudhakar for this kind gesture”
