Uttar Pradesh Auto Driver’s Son Scores 627 In NEET, Secures KGMU MBBS Seat

Prabhat Kumar Yadav, a resident of Devakipur village in Jaunpur’s Machhlishahr tehsil, secured an MBBS seat at King George’s Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow, after scoring 627 marks and securing an All India Rank of 3,864 in NEET UG 2026. His achievement has brought joy to his family and village, especially to his father, who has spent nearly 25 years working as an auto-rickshaw driver in Mumbai.

Prabhat’s father, Mahendra Kumar Yadav, has been living away from his family in Mumbai for around 25 years to support them. He lives in a small 10×10-foot room in a chawl and sends most of his earnings from driving an auto-rickshaw to his family in the village to meet household and educational expenses.

When Mahendra learned that his son had secured admission to KGMU, he became emotional. For years, he had put his own needs and comforts aside to support his children’s education.

In Devakipur, Prabhat’s grandfather, Indra Bahadur Yadav, mother, Bansraji, and siblings live with the family. His grandfather celebrated the achievement by dancing after learning about his grandson’s success. A video of his celebration has also been widely shared on social media.(UPDATED ON 22ND SEPTEMBER 2026)
