LUCKNOW Three students set to receive Chancellor Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals at Dr Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University’s upcoming convocation on September 23 share not only their academic prowess but also a common thread of facing significant financial difficulties, while their families unwaveringly stood by their sides, bolstering their pursuit of excellence.
The university unveiled its final medal roster this past Sunday. Lucknow-based Dr Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University (DSMNRU) is gearing up for its 10th convocation, with the esteemed presence of governor Anandiben Patel and chief minister Yogi Adityanath, as announced by vice-chancellor Professor Rana Krishna Pal Singh.
Abhinav Tiwari, who clinched the Chancellor Gold, distinguished himself by securing the highest marks in B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, boasting an impressive 87.55%. Abhinav now harbours aspirations to further his academic journey with an MTech degree, and he’s diligently preparing for the competitive GATE exams. Elated by his success, he expressed his satisfaction with the university’s teaching standards and the invaluable support from his teachers. Hailing from Pratapgarh district, Abhinav’s story is one of triumph over financial adversity, as his father’s modest income as a company supervisor couldn’t deter his determination to excel.
Divyanshi Dutta, who graduated in B.Tech Electrical Engineering with a remarkable 87.54%, narrowly missed the Chancellor Gold. Her spirited dedication to her studies is evident in her lament at the near-miss. She’s already on a promising career path with a semi-government firm but dreams of further academic pursuits with an M.Tech degree, diligently preparing for the GATE program. In her own words, “My parents faced numerous financial challenges, but my family’s steadfast support propelled me forward.”
