Chandigarh lad creates history,scores full marks in Physics at AIPMT

Originally from Chandigarh,Himanshu is now in New Delhi undergoing MBBS from Maulana Azad Medical College.

Thanking his father and mentor Professor S C Gupta for helping him secure 120 out of 120,Himanshu said: “It was only possible due to the support and guidance of my parents.”

Aiming to specialise in Orthopaedics,though Himanshu expressed his desire to undertake research in medicine,he has no plans to give up Physics. “Both the subjects are inter-related.
