CHENNAI: S Chandrasekar, a 15-year-old from Tirunelveli, has become the youngest person to pursue an MTech course at the Indian Institute of Technology here.
    
He scored 99.32 per cent marks in the aptitude test for MTech computer science and gained entry to the institution for this year's course.
 
"His admission to the MTech course was on expected lines. He was aiming for it," Chandrasekar's father Subramaniam, an auditor by profession, said over the telephone.
 
The child prodigy had bagged the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certificate when he was 10 and received a Cisco certified network associate certificate a year later.
 
Chandrasekar had been awarded a double promotion in his school, Bell Matriculation Higher Secondary School, at Tirunelveli and had completed schooling by 12.
 
After being allowed to pursue a Bachelor in Computer Application course by the Manonmaniam Sundaranar University in Tirunelveli, he completed the course from Kalasalingam College of Engineering at Srivilliputtur.
    
Chandrasekar, who has published a paper on Intrusion Detection Systems: A Survey in September 2005, has big plans. The teenager said he wanted to concentrate on Information Security and Cryptography, his favourite subjects.
 
To top it all, Chandrasekar cherishes his role model, Infosys chief N R Narayanamurthy, "for his values".
 
"I admire the way he (Narayanamurthy) leads others," he said.
