If any student wants to study medicine in India, they will have to clear the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). Whether to study MBBS or MD, for both cases NEET-UG or PG is a must. This is one of the most challenging exams in the country. In a remarkable show of determination and excellence, a 25-year-old has cracked the NEET exam by securing a 7th rank in NEET PG. Hamsavardhini V grabbed the headlines recently with her accomplishments. The 25-year-old was awarded 48 gold medals and prizes at the convocation ceremony of Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore. Her hard work and sheer will made her secure the 7th rank in the NEET PG 2024 exams, whose results were announced on Saturday.
The young student hails from Bengaluru and is an alumnus of National Public School Indiranagar. She first cleared the NEET in 2016 to begin her journey at CMC, which combined the NEET score along with an aptitude test during admissions. She was inspired to become a doctor because of her grandma, who had congenital heart disease. Since it was not detected early, she passed away. Her death led to Hamsavardhini opting for medicine.
After completing her medical course in May 2022, she also fulfilled her two-year mandatory service bond at the institute. In the year 2021, she was posted in Pediatric Oncology and had quite a hectic schedule with 48 to 60 hours per week. The demanding environments left her with very little time to prepare for her postgraduate entrance exams. She had two days off which she put to use for studying. She now wants to take up internal medicine at CMC as it covers every part of the body. She wants to be in Haematology and wants to specialise in it and doing a postgraduate course in Internal Medicine would help her treat various conditions. Her interest in medicine due to the loss of her grandmother fuelled her passion.
Alongside her love for medicine, she is also an excellent Bharatnatyam dancer. She has been pursuing this along with her studies. She began training at the mere age of six under her mother’s guidance and later integrated the dance into her life. She found that it enhanced her physical endurance, and helped her focus and be creative.
