Bending the rules that a student needs to be at least 14 years of age to appear in Class 10 examinations of the UP Board, eight-year-old prodigy Rashtram Aditya Shri Krishna from Lucknow has been granted special permission by the UP Board to be admitted in Class 9 directly. He will hence appear in the high school examinations at the age of 10 in 2021 from M.D.Shukla Inter College in the Nakhas area.
