People around 11-year-old Akhilesh Chandorkar, including his parents, always knew he was smart. But last week they found out he may be among the smartest people around.
Akhilesh has been declared among the top two per cent most intelligent people in the world by Mensa - the exclusive international society in the UK for people with exceptionally high IQ scores.
With a whopping score of 160, Akhilesh has apparently the same level of IQ as legends Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
The letter from Mensa even asked Akhilesh to join their prestigious society.
Akhilesh Chandorkar says he is an ardent Harry Potter fan.
Akhilesh had taken the test in June this year while on a vacation in Scotland. This student of Jain International School in Nagpur said, "I want to be a space scientist and an astronaut. I like the attention that I am getting but it gets exhausting."
An ardent Harry Potter fan, Akhilesh said his friends now ask him for solutions every time they get stuck somewhere in their studies.
"We always knew he was exceptional. When he was in the first standard, he would sit in class with third and fourth standard students for English and Math. His teachers always told us he's a brilliant chap," says Akhilesh's proud father Rutwik Chandorkar.
