Patna: After cracking
the highly competitive Indian Institute of Technology-Joint
Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE), Satyam Kumar, the
12-and-half-year-old boy from Bihar has now passed Class 12 with
85 percent marks.
Satyam has become the youngest in the country to clear the Class
12 Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examination, family
sources Tuesday claimed.
Satyam, a resident of Bakhorapur village in Bhojpur district,
cleared IIT-JEE from the Mumbai zone with an all-India rank of
8,137. He has been the youngest yet to crack what is considered to
be the toughest qualifying exam in the country.
Satyam is currently studying in Rajasthan's Kota town, well-known
for its IIT-JEE coaching centres. He stays with his younger
brother and uncle. Satyam had also done his Class 10 from Modern
School in Kota.
"We are happy and celebrating his rare success. After all, it is a
matter of pride for the family, village and the state," Satyam's
uncle Rampukar Singh told IANS over telephone.
Singh said, "CBSE officials informed us that Satyam is the
youngest to clear Class 12. The entire village is upbeat because
he has become a role model for others."
The village celebrated his success by bursting firecrackers and
consuming sweets when he cracked IIT-JEE May 18.
Satyam is busy preparing for next year's IIT-JEE. After cracking
IIT-JEE this year, he made it clear that he would not join IIT
because of his poor rank. He will attempt next year for a better
rank.
Kumar's father, Sidhnath Singh, a farmer, is proud of him.
He said his son was intelligent since early childhood.
