Balance of MBBS and Chess
Raj Aryan had earlier won the Gold Medal at the Asian Amateur Chess Rapid Championship (Below 1700) held in Al Ain, UAE (2024). He has also been selected for the prestigious Utkarsh Scholarship, which provides financial support of up to ₹20 lakh per annum to nurture exceptional sporting talent and support international training and competition.
Beyond the chessboard, Raj Aryan is pursuing MBBS at Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), Patna, one of India’s oldest and most prestigious medical institutions. Balancing the intense academic demands of medical education with elite-level competitive chess is a rare accomplishment. His success in both arenas reflects extraordinary discipline, focus, and mental resilience.
