Delhi constable's son clears IIT entrance exam

Delhi constable's son clears IIT entrance exam:












A Delhi Police constable's 18-year-old son has obtained the seventh rank in the OBC category in the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Joint Entrance Examination 2013.

Ashish Kumar Yadav, son of bomb detection squad member Radhey Shyam, cleared the exam without taking any coaching lessons, soon after scoring 82 percent marks in Class 12 from Haryana, a police officer said.

Ashish credited his parents and teachers for his achievement. His father said the young man used to study four to five hours every day.

There are 9,885 IIT seats on offer. Of these, 4,844 are for the general category students.

Satyam Kumar, a Bihar farmer's son who is just 13-years old, has cleared the fiercely competitive Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) for which 150,000 candidates had appeared this year.

Satyam, who passed his class 12 exam last year, secured an impressive all-India rank of 679.

"We are proud of him. He has done something special at this age," Satyam's father Sidhnath Singh, a farmer, told IANS.

IIT-JEE (Advanced) results for admission into IITs were declared.

According to IIT-JEE website, Sahal Kaushik from Delhi was the youngest person to have cracked the exam in 2010 at the age of 14. But now this record is held by Satyam.
