< Pranav Kalyan | Achievements


I am a 6th grader at Lindero canyon middle school in Agoura Hills. I am pursuing the "Associate Degree in Astrophysics, Mathematics and Physics " at Moorpark College. Sofar I earned 3.9 GPA score with "A" grade with all core subjects.

I successfully completed the MCTS exam on Jan 12, 2013, becoming the youngest kid to get the title of "Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist" in ASP.net at the age of 9.   on Wikipedia »

Unlike regular 13-year-olds who may wish to be free to enjoy themselves all the time, the Californian resident Pranav Kalyan, who belongs to the Tamil diaspora, has already earned two associate degrees with honors from Moorpark College. He has become the youngest ever graduate in his college.

Pranav said he wanted to be a scientist. "I was introduced to the world of computers when I was two," he said. Pranav found that his love for maths and the challenge of solving complicated problems helped him write computer programs, which required logical skills.

For a computer professional ASP, .NET will not be much difficult but for a nine-year-old it’s a remarkable effort as the kid needs to have lot of logical and reasoning ability. Not everyone can get Microsoft certification, only those who can solve complex questions can do it.

Pranav's achievement is no small feat. His logical and mathematical skills put many computer graduates to shame. Microsoft's certification is one of the hardest technical tests to crack. Even many tech wizards find it very hard to clear the test. Only a few programmers in the world have received the honours till date..
