Sushma Verma, a student of St Meera's Inter College at Kanpur Road, has made it to the Limca Book of Records for being the youngeststudent to pass high school examination conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Board.
Sushma has been recognised as the youngest candidate to have passed the high school examination at the age of seven years, three months and 28 days, college authorities said.
On the basis of her nomination sent by the college authorities, the Limca Book of Records has issued a certificate recognising Sushma's achievement, which reached the college authorities on Friday.
The little girl has broken the record of child prodigy Tathagat Tulsi from Bihar, who passed his high school examination at the age of nine and is a Guiness Book record holder.
The girl, who completed her early education at home, enrolled at St Meera's Inter College as a class ninth student two years back and appeared in the high school examination with special permission from the education department.
Sushma's achievement has already been recognised by Japan's Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation which has included her in its list of child prodigies.
"It is only due to my teachers and the college that I have been able to enter the Limca book of records," Sushma said when asked to comment on her feat.
