12 year old Rohtak girl tops military entrance exam
ROHTAK: Mukta Dhull, 12, a student of class VII from Rohtak, has topped the entrance exam of Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC), Dehradun, securing 290.5 out of 450 marks.
Though ecstatic at her success, Mukta is now aspiring higher. “I will appear for the National Defence Academy test after class XII to become an army officer,” she said.
The elder of two siblings, Mukta said she had always been inspired by first Param Vir Chakra recipient Major Somnath Sharma, and dreamt of donning the uniform and serving the nation.
She had first taken the Sainik school exam, but could not crack it. Undeterred, she started preparing for the RIMC exam. “I moved to Faridabad to get coaching, stayed in a hostel and prepared for mathematics, GK and English for the entrance exam,” she said.
Mukta is happy that female candidates are now allowed in military schools.
