KANPUR: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is the dream destination of budding engineers from across the globe. In September next, the premier US institute will open its doors to an unlikely candidate — son of a mechanic from Kanpur — with full scholarship to the tune of Rs 1 crore. When he passes out from MIT two years from now, Ayush Sharma will become the first graduate from his family.
Nobody at his school, Kendriya Vidyalaya on IIT-Kanpur campus from where he has appeared in class XII board this year, had doubt about 17-year-old Ayush was a brilliant student. But, MIT was something of a dream even for Ayush. "I had heard a lot about MIT in my school. I came across many pathbreaking research its students and professors were doing. As I am one of the three people selected from across the country, I am feeling elated," enthusiastic Ayush told TOI on Sunday.
A resident of Panki area of the industrial city, Ayush's father Rakesh Sharma is a mechanic with Public Works department) and his mother Manju Lata Sharma retired as a constable with the Central Reserve Police Force.
