Fifteen-year-old Sushma Verma, the youngest postgraduate student in the country, will now pursue research in environmental microbiology at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU), Lucknow. In June, Sushma, daughter of a sanitation worker, not only completed her MSc in microbiology from BBAU but also topped the class. She has secured the seventh rank in the University Research Entrance Test in environmental microbiology. Naveen Kumar, head, department of environmental microbiology, BBAU, said four PhD seats were vacant. There are three seats vacant in the general category and one in the reserved category, Kumar said. I think special provision will be made for her. BBAU vice-chancellor Prof R C Sobti told TOI that the university would definitely give admission to Sushma in the special category. She has achieved great heights at the tender age of 15, said Prof Sobti. We must encourage her talent. We will give admission to her in the special category. We will give her a hostel [seat] and scholarship also.
