Aabhas Sharma, a 12-year-old, has cleared the higher secondary exam conducted by the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education(RBSE), results of which were announced Monday evening. He passed with a first class, scoring 325 out of 600 marks i.e. 65 percent.
Two years ago, he became a local celebrity after he cleared class 10 exam as a 10-year-old.
"There was no pressure on me. I used to study at my will and play. I did not study class prep. I started my schooling from class first and I also jumped one or two primary classes, " he told ANI.
Aabhas asserted how his family and his school teachers' support throughout the exams helped him achieve the outstanding result.
"There was full support from my family as well as my teachers. I used to study only one night before the exam. I was hundred percent confident that I will get through, " he added.
Born on 26 August, 2003, this Jaipur child prodigy aspires to become a doctor and serve the nation.
However, the Aabhas cannot appear for PMT(Pre Medical Test) before he turns 17 as the rules don't permit him to do so.
His father, Sachin Sharma, also the director of Aabhas Public Senior Secondary School in Jaipur's Durgapura area, says he never pressurised his son and always used to encourage him.
"He gave his exams without any pressure. Today evening, when results were about to come, he asked me as to what will happen. I told him to relax and said that what will happen, it will happen for the good. He studied only overnights, " he said.
"He scored 61 percent marks in class 10th. From there on he got the confidence that he could clear class 12th. We never pressurized him to study, " he added.
