Patna: A 12-and-a-half-year-old boy from Bihar has
cracked the highly competitive Indian Institute of
Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE).
Satyam Kumar of Bakhorapur village in Bhojpur district qualified
from the Mumbai zone with an all-India rank of 8,137.
"I am happy to crack IIT-JEE but I will not join IIT this year
because of my poor rank. I will attempt next year for a good
rank," Kumar told IANS over telephone Saturday.
Kumar said he was keen to develop a software company on the lines
of Facebook.
Kumar's father, Sidhnath Singh, a farmer, is proud of him.
"It is a matter of pride that my son is the youngest to qualify
for IIT-JEE," he said.
Kumar is still awaiting his class 12 results.
According to the father, Kumar passed the Class 10 board exam from
Modern School in Kota, Rajasthan.
He said his son was intelligent since early childhood.
"He used to impress everyone with his talent even when he was
barely five years old." This is why, the father said, he sent the
boy to Kota for higher education.
"The entire village celebrated his success bursting firecrackers
and consuming sweets," Singh said.
