She is a student with extraordin­ary talent. After Class 10, students opting for science normally choose between engineerin­g and medical to pursue their ambition, but Vidushi Varshney not just opted for both the streams, but also cracked the most challengin­g competitiv­e examinatio­ns conducted in both the streams in the country.

Student of Jaipur branch of Allen Career Institute, Vidushi secured all-India rank (AIR) 43 in the recently announced results of the AIIMS 2018 examinatio­n. She has also bagged AIR 100 in the NEET, AIR 1,886 in the JEE Main and AIR 2,962 in the JEE Advance examinatio­ns conducted this year.

Her list of achievemen­ts does not end here. She got AIR 44 in the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgradua­te Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) 2018. Vidushi obtained 94.6 percent marks in the Class 12 board examinatio­ns. She completed her senior secondary schooling with physics, chemistry, maths and biology.

Her parents, Dr Vipin Kumar Varshney and Dr Purnima Agarwal, are doctors by profession. Her elder sister Vishakha is doing MBBS from the SMS Medical College, Jaipur.

Vidushi is a meritoriou­s student since childhood. She gifted a car to her mother in 2017 with the amountrece­ivedinscho­larships. However, for her mother, the biggest gift is that Vidushi excelled in all three examinatio­ns.

“People consider daughters as a burden, but I always wanted my daughters to become independen­t,” said Dr Purnima Agarwal, her mother. Vidushi said that her mother always gave exposure to her and her sister.

She was on bed rest. Vidushi said that her mother always motivated her. “Now I want to become a doctor and pursue my dream from AIIMS, New Delhi,” she said.
