Hailing from Nurpur, Himachal Pradesh, Akrit was born on April 23, 1993.

By the time he was 12, he had earned the title of India’s “youngest university student.” At 13, with an impressive IQ of 146, Akrit captured international attention when he appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, leaving the world equally fascinated by his brilliance.

If media reports are to be believed, by the age of 12, Akrit Jaswal became India’s “youngest university student” as he began conducting scientific research at Chandigarh University.
