SWGH lad tops BSc hons in Maths

Tura, Aug 5: In a first for the border town of Mahendraganj in South West Garo Hills, a young resident of the area made the entire region proud by topping the honour roll in Mathematics in the just declared results by NEHU.
Al Amin Miah, who has always been a top performer, having secured the 11th rank in his SSLC examinations before coming 3rd in the state in the HSSLC – Science, secured over 96% in the subject to top the university exams.
Miah is a resident of Kamarpara and passed his 10th from Hari Shanti Niketan Vidyalaya in Mahendraganj. Son of a teacher, Amin’s batch was the first that appeared at the school. After that he joined St Anthony’s Higher Secondary School before joining college in Shillong.
“Being from a village, we did not have much exposure but I never stopped trying. My parents and my brothers always believed in me and supported me. I was always curious about things, and when I studied I didn’t care about time. I would only stop when my understanding of the subject was complete. The main thing is to question so that you get the answers,” the topper said.
He thanked God for guidance and his teachers, family members for their support. ‘My parents always believed in me, they never forced me to do anything’.
Currently Amin is pursuing his MSc from a centrally funded institute, IISER, Bhopal. Amin plans to pursue his PhD from a good institute from India or abroad if possible before thinking of UPSC.
