Satyam Kumar, a farmer’s son from Bihar, India, achieved a remarkable feat by cracking the IIT-JEE exam at the age of 13. He secured an All India Rank (AIR) of 670 in 2012, becoming the youngest Indian to do so.
His journey began at a young age in a family with no history of formal education. Recognizing his talent, his parents admitted him to Central Public School, Patna.

After his achievement at IIT-JEE, Satyam continued his academic journey. He completed a BTech-MTech Dual Degree in Electrical Engineering at IIT Kanpur in 2018 and went on to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on brain-computer interfaces. Remarkably, he also gained experience as a Machine Learning Intern at Apple Inc. until August 2023.
