Hyderabad’s Agastya Jaiswal is done with junior college. On Sunday, he became the youngest boy in Telangana to pass the intermediate examination, or Class 12.
A student of St Mary’s Junior College at Yousufguda, the 11-year-old scored 63% marks, with commerce, economics and civics as his main subjects.
“I want to do my graduation in commerce in the next three years but my ultimate goal is to be a doctor,” Agastya told HT hours after the result was announced.
A commerce graduate and a doctor? Well, Agastya has a plan.
After he completes BCom, he will repeat intermediate.
“…but with biology, physics and chemistry. I will then write medical entrance exam and get a seat in an MBBS course,” he said.
Agastya needs to be back in junior college also because he has to be at least 17, the average age at which a student passes Class 12, to sit the test to get into a medical college.
And, he doesn’t want to waste time.
“I don’t want to sit idle and want to go ahead with BCom,” said Agastya, who was all of eight when he passed Class 10. He took a “gap year” before enrolling for intermediate.
