Satyam Kumar, a coaching student from Kota, Cracked IITJEE this year with a 8,137 All India Rank. Now, this is common, thousands of aspirants every year crack the IIITJEE. Then why is this boy’s tale only being narrated. Here comes the big hit: ‘Satyam is just 12 years old’. Yes, Satyam Kumar is 12 year old cracked IITJEE this year.
Born on July 20, 1999, Satyam is from a small village of Aara district in Bihar. At the age of five, he had learnt the shlokas of the Bhagawad Geeta and the Ramayana. At the same time, he had also mastered the Mathematics subject. Six years ago, he came to Kota with his uncle where the M.D. Of a coaching institute cognized his talent and decided to shape his future. He promised to take care of his educational needs. Since then, Satyam is residing in Kota with his uncle, aunt and Grand mother.
And the road to success was not so smooth. Many a times, there were objections on his age. But after positive reports by officials, he was granted special permissions to appear in the examination. And he proved himself special.
Yet, the twelve-year-old genius is disappointed about his result. Since his desire is to pursue Computer science engineering from IIT Kanpur, he will reappear in the exam next year to grab a better rank. “This time, I would put in the best efforts and I am sure I would be able to secure a good All India Rank,” he said.
Satyam wants to serve the country as an IAS officer, but he knows he has to wait since the UPSC won’t compromise with his age.
