Shubham belongs to a family of five where his father is a doctor himself. Though Shubham never had the dreams of pursuing the profession but when COVID-19 spread across the country, it made him aspire to join the noble profession.

During the pandemic, he realised the advantages of being a doctor. Shubham's father, who is a psychiatrist was hospitalised after being infected with covid.

He never was inclined towards engineering, but he had an interest in mathematics and now wishes to become a surgeon in future. In his past time, he played basketball for relaxation or at times went for a run. Further Shubham said that he shared relaxation at the stadium in front of his house or went for a sprint around the track. He also shared his study routines with his best friend Mukul to stay on track and for accountability

Shubham told Aakash BJYU’s, “Since I loved math, there were moments during preparation when I almost regretted my choice of taking Biology as it was my weak subject until Class X. But I never gave myself any excuses and focussed on working hard because that was the only way forward and I kept working on it. I have had days when I studied too much and had to take a complete day off just to realign with the idea of studying. Even if I did not do well in a particular test, my parents encouraged me to prepare better for the next one instead of feeling bad over the outcome.

Shubham Bansal is a student of Aakash BYJU’s who joined when he was in class XI. Teachers of Aakash BJYU's congratulated Shubham for his hard work and dedication
