“I always dreamt of becoming a doctor and now that has happened with so many awards,” Mahavish, who walks in her doctor-father’s footsteps, said. She plans to study radiology in post-graduation as she wishes to continue in the academics even later in life.

“It’s too early to decide if I should join the government or private service. However, I am sure of pursuing diagnostics as a career,” said Mahavish, the daughter of a Moradabad-based doctor and a housewife mother.

Deepak Bansal, who was ranked second in the list of meritorious students, will get six gold medals along with other recognitions. He hails from Meerut. On his future plans, he said, “The medical field is all about innovation and dealing with new situation every day. So, opting between government and private sectors is something I will decide later.”

Gunjan Mehta, who will get eight gold medals, said: “I am the first doctor in my family. Ever since I was a kid, I dreamt of becoming a doctor. The dream has come true.”
