Two Indian-origin minors in the United States are among the \u201cbrightest students in the world\u201d, according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY). 7-year-old Veehaan Mane from New Jersey and 8-year-old Advay Misra from New York are the newcomers in the elite club of Indian-origin prodigious children. They belong to the same ethnic tribe that has given America 3M Young Scientist Challenge winners and National Spelling Bee champions in the past few years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Advay<\/p>\n

Veehaan and Advay made it among the 1400 brightest students in the world for their extraordinary performance in SAT, ACT, and similar other academic assessment tests<\/strong> that the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth conducted from July 2019 until June 2020. The annual talent search program saw the participation of more than 15,000 students from across the US and 70 other countries. Both the Indian prodigies have been selected for the Grand Honor 2020 Award, a most prestigious award for students with \u2018outstanding academic potential\u2019.<\/p>\n

New Jersey-based Veehaan Mane, an elementary school student from South Brunswick, relishes Indian food to his heart\u2019s content. Paneer Butter Masala is one of his favorites.<\/strong> A 3rd<\/sup> grader at Brunswick Acres Elementary School, Veehaan is among the very few students who ranked in the 99 percentile. Apart from being good at studying analogies, he sings and plays the piano with equal enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince kindergarten, he has been good with puzzles. He enjoys solving questions and taking up challenges. Participating in the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth\u2019s annual talent search program was the next milestone for him,\u201d said Veehaan\u2019s father, Pankaj. \u201cWith schools having gone online because of the pandemic, Veehaan found it difficult to focus on studies for a while,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Among the world\u2019s brightest students, Advay Misra from New York<\/a><\/span> gives credit to his mother for his academic excellence<\/strong>. Reading is his favorite activity and python programming is his favorite pastime. He enjoys learning from Khan Academy videos on mathematics \u2013 which helped him a lot to prepare for CTY\u2019s grade-based testing programs. He studies at PS 59 Beekman Hill International Elementary School. Advay, Veehaan and other Grand Honor awardees are now eligible for CTY\u2019s summer programs which will help them interact with other avid learners and star performers from around the globe.<\/p>\n

The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, a most renowned name in the field of education, identifies the most promising students and provides a genuine index to their academic potential. The alumni of this renowned organization in the field of education include Rhodes Scholars, MacArthur Fellows, and the founders of Facebook and Google.<\/strong> The origin of the Center for Talented Youth dates back to the late 70s when a seventh grader from Baltimore had finished all mathematical lessons one could have at school by the time he was 13. It prompted a professor of psychology from Johns Hopkins to design unique grade-based academic assessment programs for meritorious kids.<\/p>\n
