AHMEDABAD: When children of his age furiously prepared for class X board exams, 15-year-old Nirbhay Thakkar completed his BE (Electrical) course. In October, Nirbhay became the youngest engineering graduate from the Gujarat Technological University ( GTU ). "I was surprised by the remark when they suggested that and I took it upon myself to get the best out of my child," said his Nirbhay's father, Dhaval Thakkar. Dhaval Thakkar had left job at the age of 36 years to concentrate on the child. Dhaval Thakkar said that no child is dull or bright in studies - all depends on how the child's mind is programmed for excellence.
