Having studied hard since childhood, Jayadarshini harbored the ambition to pursue medicine after her cousin joined dental college a few years back .She did not take any private coaching, she made into the medical college by preparing for the NEET coaching offered by the State Government. Dean J. Sangumani on Monday handed over the admission letter to Jayadarshini.
It was a strange coincidence that Jayadarshini's father, Venkatesh, happens to be a student of the Dean's father Jeyaraman, who was a teacher at MPM High School in Cumbum.
Jayadarshini comes from a well-known family, where her father was a teacher at MPM High School.
As per reports in The Hindu, Dr. Sangumani told that "VGMC had all the infrastructure to fulfill the dreams of students like Jayadarshini. She would get a full scholarship from the State government for her entire course."
