With 99.99 percentile, National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2018 topper Kalpana Kumari on Monday inched a step closer to realising her childhood dream of becoming a doctor.
Kalpana, who hails from Bihar’s Sheohar district, scored 691/720 with a perfect score in Biology to secure All India Rank 1 leaving behind almost 13 lakh students, who took the competitive exam for admission to various medical colleges across the country. “When I checked the result, I couldn’t believe it. I re-checked and the experience was totally amazing for me,” Kalpana said, and added, “I knew that if I work hard, I can give my best. The marks I received are as expected though I made one silly mistake in physics paper which could have been corrected.”
She said, “It was my childhood dream to become a doctor. Now my aim is to complete my five-years of MBBS and two-years MS and get established as a good doctor, so that I can help people in need. I want to live up to the expectations people have from a good doctor.”
Kalpana is the youngest among the three children of Rakesh Mishra, an official in Bihar education department and Mamata Mishra, a government school teacher in Sheohar. She completed her Class X from Jawahar Navoday Vidyalaya, Sheohar and is awaiting her Class XII results, which she has taken from Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) in 2018.
“For medical entrance exam preparation, she was enrolled at Aakash Institute in New Delhi in a two-year regular programme. She shuttled between Delhi and Sheohar to fulfil the requirements of both Class XII course as well as the competitive exam,” Kalpana’s elder sister Bharti told DNA.
The NEET topper is now awaiting her results for AIIMS Entrance Test. “Acing the exam has given me a platform to take admission at a college of my choice. But, If I clear AIIMS, then I’ll study there, else at Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi,” she said, adding, “My parents were also not expecting this result. But they are very happy and on way to Delhi to be a part of my success.”
