A 20-year old girl, who was married off when she was just eight, is set to become a doctor after clearing the CBSE’s undergraduate National Entrance-cum-Eligibility Test (NEET) for medical education.
Even after her marriage Rupa Yadav continued her education, undertook to coach at a Kota-based Institute and cleared the test in her third attempt.
Rupa scored 603 in the NEET and is currently attending counselling for admission. She hopes to make it to a government-run medical college.
Rupa was in Class III when she was married off along with her elder sister Rukma. Her husband Shankar Lal, who was just 12 at the time of marriage, and her in-laws, particularly brother-in-law Babulal, supported her in pursuing her dream.
The Allen coaching institute has now decided to provide her with a monthly scholarship to help her complete the four-year MBBS course
