A 9-year-old Indian boy has officially become the youngest
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist in the world, breaking a
record previously held by 12-year-old Dubai-based Babar Iqbal.
Times
of India reports that Pranav Kalyan is currently a 4th grade student of
Willow Elementary School in California and has been writing software
programs from the age of six.
He passed the exam in ASP.NET Framework 3.5 on January 12, the source adds.
“As
a toddler, Pranav was more fascinated by computers than toys. He
started writing small software programs at the age of six. He is capable
of solving problems in differential calculus and integral calculus. His
efficiency in mathematics helped him write programs,” Kalyan, the boy’s
father, said in a statement.
Becoming the youngest Microsoft
Certified Technology Specialist in the world is not an easy task. The
boy studied for the exam for a total of 18 months, while spending
approximately eight hours a day working on the computer.
