Normally, kids finish school by 17 and college at 22 or 23, but there is one extraordinary child prodigy who created a new record at a very young age through his exceptional talent and passion. 

We are talking about the genius kid Nirbhay Thacker who amazed everyone just a few years before, as he was tagged as a weak student by teachers at school. 

Nirbhay took only six months to clear classes 8th to 10th and then just 3 months for passing 11th, and 12th standards in 2015-16. The 2002-born kid completed HSC by 13.  Nirbhay’s extraordinary talent was nurtured by his father Dhaval Thacker, an engineer and his mother who is a doctor. 

He talked about his achievements in an interview, "I believe that if you understand what you are reading you can clear any examination, learning by rote never helps one. That is how I cleared my schooling and junior college. I was in a CBSE school till Std VI, and that school was not allowing students to participate in any competition till completion of Std VI. So, I decided to change schools. I took admission in an IGCSE school as a private candidate. That helped me to clear five grades in one year."

There was no end to his extraordinary record, as later at 15, he became Gujarat's youngest engineer while taking just a year to finish the 4 year degree from Gujarat Technological University (GTU) in 2018. He had passed Joint Entrance Examination (Main) and secured 75/360. 

He then decided to keep finishing degrees and aimed to get 10 engineering degrees over three years, passing all five engineering branches in four years — electrical, mechanical, computer, instrumentation and automation, and chemical.

Thereafter, Nirbhay joined the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Gandhinagar to work on research and product development. He aims to work on next-gen technology in the Defence sector. Apart from 10 engineering degrees, he also aspires to earn a PhD. He was felicitated with the Young Achiever Award by the World Education Congress.
