Tanishkaa, who appeared for the exams as a private student, also obtained a distinction in English (special) and Hindi (general).

"We met government officials several times in Bhopaland persuaded them to grant special permission for Tanishkaa to appear for Class 12 exams directly after Class 10," said the girl's mother Anubha Chandran, who along with her late husband Sujit, homeschooled the teen.

Tanishkaa lost her father Sujit to coronavirus infection on July 2. Tanishkaa is possibly the first student in Madhya Pradesh to clear Class 12 examination directly after appearing for Class 10 exams at just 13 years of age.

Unlike other children, Tanishkaa did not attend pre-primary classes, she was directly admitted to Class 1 by a private school when she was just three, Chandran said.

"My daughter has been homeschooled since 2015. My late husband felt that if taught properly, any child can acquire better knowledge at home than in a school and also learn many additional skills," she said.
