Pranav Kalyan, a nine year old boy now has the distinction of being the youngest Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist ( MCTS), according to a Times Of India report. Pranav's father originally hails from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. With this distinction, Pranav surpasses the record that was held by Babar Iqbal of Dubai who was 12 years old at the time of obtaining the certification.

Pranav is a fourth grader at Willow Elementary School in the American state of California. He cracked the MCTS exam in the ASP.Net platform, and hopes to be a scientist one day.

“As a toddler, Pranav was more fascinated by computers than toys. He started writing small software programs at the age of six.”, said Pranav's father Kalyan to the Times Of India.

“He is capable of solving problems in differential calculus and integral calculus. His efficiency in mathematics helped him write programs”, Mr Kalyan went on to state.

This, sure is an amazing feat as writing ASP. Net programs at the age of nine certainly requires some intellect. The boy had earlier participated in the Math Bee competition that was organized by the North South Foundation of the United States. Pranav was only seven years old at this time.
