Farmer's son cannot reap UPPGMEE result
Lucknow: Son of a farmer with a small piece of land tucked in the interiors of Shivpur village in Gorakhpur, Suryabhan Mishra (34) was an idol for not just his family, but also the village and nearby areas.
Securing an MBBS degree and being the only one to do so in the small village, the farmer's son had also secured a top rank for himself in the Uttar Pradesh Postgraduate Medical Entrance Exam (UPPGMEE) 2016.
But his happiness was short-lived. The revised merit list UPPGMEE has thrown Mishra and 329 students like him off the edge.
Mishra was forced to remember how hard it was for him to reach the 7th rank in the coveted list. In the revised merit list, he has slipped to the 86th rank. "I completed my MBBS in 2014 and while doing internship in 2015, I appeared for the UPPGMEE and secured 75th rank. I was getting medical-surgery and orthopaedics branches, but I wanted to do better, hence dropped the year despite opposition from family. I sat for the test again this year and got 7th rank , but I ended up with nothing," he rued. Mishra's father Jugal Kishore, who owns a small land in the village, has studied till class X and struggles hard for a living. His mother is illiterate and two brothers have studied till class XII. His family was happy when he got selected but now their dreams are shattered.
