The eager learner

ELIZA BANSAL,17 AIIMS topper, Lehragaga, Sangrur

BECAUSE

She stood first in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences MBBS entrance examination, and also grabbed the top rank in the Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana Exam (KVPY). She also got a good score in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test.

SECRET OF SUCCESS

My secret of success is lots of hard work and an eagerness to learn. I work hard and try to really understand my subject by delving deep into it. I have never believed in rote learning.

I don’t think there has been any time when I have not focused on the subject at hand. Be it in the class or in my coaching institute, I have done my best to concentrate and not get distracted by other things or people.

THE GOAL NEXT

I want to become a cardiologist. MBBS is just a pit stop, I am determined to follow it up with super-specialisation in matters of the heart.

MY ROLE MODEL

My brother Robin Garg, who is pursuing B.Tech from IIT Delhi is my role model. He scored 90% in Class XII and has won various scholarships.

BY THE WAY

I loves to sing and hang out with my friends. But these days, I am busy from 9am to 5 pm in classes at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, and have no time to spare.

SECOND OPINION

“Eliza has been making amazing progress ever since she started schooling. She is an active and intelligent child who has tremendous capacity to reach great heights in life. I wish her the very best in all her endeavours.”
