The phrase 'he was now on cloud 9.' is a tense inconsistency.

Use 'he felt like he was on cloud nine' to maintain past tense consistency.

Incorrect use of past participle 'was chosen' instead of 'has chosen'.

Use 'has chosen' instead of 'was chosen' to indicate the present perfect tense.

Inconsistent use of tenses, such as 'he is doing very well in his MBBS' and 'he completed it one year ago'.
