Lucknow: The prestigious Chancellor’s Gold, Silver and Bronze medals of Dr Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University have been bagged by engineering students this year.

Rohit Srivastava of BTech (civil engineering), who scored 89.5% marks, will receive the Chancellor’s Gold Medal. “I came all the way from Ghazipur to study here. Teachers as well as the university’s environment inspired me to give my best,” said Rohit, who aspires to become an IAS officer.

“My success mantra is ‘PhD ATM’ (patience, hardwork, dedication and accurate time management). It helps one achieve goals,” said BTech (electrical) student Aditya Kumar Rawat, who will get Chancellor’s silver medal.

BTech (computer science) student Akansha Singh, who will receive Chancellor’s bronze medal, said, “My family’s financial condition was not very good so I gave tuitions to support my education. I am fortunate that in Covid times, I got placement in a Lucknow-based private company. I want to work in a top IT company.”
