Mahira and Sehaj, both classmates, aim to become doctors. “I have already started preparing for the entrance examination. There’s no hard work behind this feat… rather it’s a planned approach. I like to plan my schedule, striking a balance between studies and personal life,” said Mahira.
Sehaj said: “I was expecting a good result, but this is very pleasing. My parents have supported me throughout and am just paying them back by excelling in studies. I want to become a successful surgeon.”
