She always dreamt of becoming a doctor, but the injury made her change stream from Science to Humanities at the last moment. Soni will appear for the CUET in the second phase scheduled to be conducted in August 2022. In an interview, she told how her first term exams didn't go well due to the accident. She told “I put focus on term 2 exams. Term 1 was not good as problems were ensuing at that time. I had to go to the hospital for further checking. I began preparations for term 2 following term 1, by making a proper routine,"

She scored 75% in class 10th board exams and stated that “Initially I had lost confidence. A lot of time got wasted in hospitals. It took quite a lot of time to gain back my focus as I wasn’t feeling strong. However, my parents and teachers motivated me and helped a lot. First, I had to decide whether I can continue with the board exams this year or not. Then I made a plan and told myself that what’s done is done. Now I have to focus on the 12th board and get better marks".

She added “I had lost all my confidence and stayed back at home self-studying. I had left tuition as I did not feel like going out anymore. Later I made a timetable and followed it. I had made a plan that I have to complete so many chapters in a day and when if I was unable to do so, I used to sit and study late till 1 pm or 2 pm”.
