City students have fared well in the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET). The result was sent to the candidates on their e-mail addresses.

A daughter of a doctor couple, Shreya Chopra, secured the All India Rank 470.

Shivam Singla got the AIR 509, Divye Ahlawat AIR 546, Anika Sehgal AIR 636, Arnav AIR 841 and Saurish Ohri AIR 877 among others.

For Shreya, online studies during the pandemic came as a blessing in disguise as she got more time to focus on her preparation for NEET. “Time that was earlier lost in commuting to school was saved and I used that time for my studies. My study schedule was from 7 am-12 noon. In between, whenever, I felt tired, I use to do painting to de-stress myself,” said Shreya, who passed her Class XII from GRD Academy.

Shreya’s father Dr Sandeep Chopra is a cardiologist at Fortis Hospital and mother, Dr Rupali, is an ophthalmologist at the CMCH. Shreya is now focussing on MBBS and wishes to take admission either in Chandigarh or Delhi.

Shivam, who secured AIR 509, has burnt the midnight oil to secure the rank. “I use to study late till 2 am and in between the study hours I took small breaks for relaxation as well. Cricket and playing guitar are my hobbies and nothing de-stresses better than playing my favourite song on the guitar,” said Shivam, who has passed Class XII from Guru Harkrishan Public School and now wants to take admission in Chandigarh. Shivam’s father is in insurance company and his mother is a banker.

Divye Ahlawat, who secured AIR 546, said, “Finally my efforts paid off and I managed to secure the rank. Now my focus is on the further admission,” he said.

Anika Sehgal’s parents are doctors. Her father is a neurologist and mother is a professor in preventive medicine. Anika now is focusing on her MBBS admission. “My hard work and dedication as well as the support of my parents and teachers have finally paid off,” she said.
