Giving a proof to the presence of exceptional intelligence in India, 10 year old girl Sushma Verma has been permitted to pursue graduation in science stream from CMS degree college Lucknow, affiliated to Lucknow University.
Her admission to B Sc —with zoology, botany and chemistry as her subjects —has now been confirmed, with Lucknow University giving her the green signal to pursue as graduate degree. “…Now it’s time to concentrate hard and complete my graduation with good marks,” said a delighted Sushma.
Sushma Verma, who cleared her intermediate examination in compartment this year, also holds the record of clearing high school board examinations at the age of seven.
Sushma's father Tej Bahadur is a daily wage worker and mother Chayya Devi an illiterate.
A high level of intelligence seems to run in her family. Sushma’s brother Shailendra became the country’s youngest computer science graduate in 2007 when he passed the Bachelor of Computer Applications degree from Lucknow University with 75% marks at the age of 14.
Sushma now has an opportunity to surpass her brother by passing the 2013 examinations at 13.
