Bringing laurels to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), Yashan Sharma, a 23-year-old intern from the institute’s 2017 MBBS batch secured the 24th rank in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for postgraduates (NEET PG) 2023.

Heaping praise on Sharma, Principal Dr Sandeep Puri said, “It is a delightful moment for every institution and their teachers when their students achieve such remarkable success and being placed in the top-25 in NEET PG Exam.”
Speaking of his foray into medicine, Sharma said, “I come from a family with no doctors, so being the first in my family was itself a remarkable thing for me. It is one of the best moments of my life as my hard work and relentless efforts have paid off.”
“I was overjoyed and excited beyond limits when results were announced,” an elated Sharma said, while thanking his family for being continuous guiding light and source of his strength.
While sharing his preparations, the 23-year-old said he emphasised on self-study and would dedicate eight to nine hours to the same every day.
An intern at the DMCH for the last 9 months, Sharma said his parents were on cloud nine when he informed them about his achievement. His father, Sunil Sharma, is employed at a hosiery factory unit, while his mother Babita Sharma is a homemaker.
