Dumraon (Bihar): A village student sitting on backlogs in his college final year has amazed the entire nation by cracking GRE and becoming the highest scorer across the world.

Ganjay Jha, aged 25, is in his final year of B.Tech in VITM. While he is yet to attain passing marks in 6 subjects to get his degree, he has shocked almost all GRE aspirants across the world by being the top scorer. He now also holds the Guinness record for highest ever GRE scorer.

On the other hand, Ashwin, son of NRI parents, and someone who has only watched English series and movies ever since his birth was unable to digest this news. “Yo man! This aint possible! I can’t take this sh**!” Ashwin spewed his anger and jealousy, upon hearing that a village student with no English speaking parents had topped the tough English portions of the exam.

Our reporter visited the village of Dumraon which has been in festive mood ever since Ganjay’s accomplishment.

“Jha’s only familiarity with English was when he would return home late night and watch those type of movies that students his age watch. He never speaks in English, not even when he has to place a order in a coffee-shop. Even after getting drunk heavily, he doesn’t undergo any linguistic transformation. So we are naturally shocked to know that he has come first in an exam completely based on English,” confessed his uncle.

Talking about his stupendous achievement, Ganjay Jha revealed the secret of his success, “I have been doing Engineering for 6 years now. Totally clueless about my life ahead, one fine day I just signed up on Twitter to say ‘Hi’ to Sallu Bhai. And while on Twitter, I chanced upon profile of a person who changed my life forever.”

“It was none other than Shashi Tharoor. I just followed him because I had seen him on news. In the beginning, his tweets seemed like some alien code to me, but later I realized that it was English. To understand his tweets, I bought Oxford dictionary. Slowly, I started learning new words and would use them in my daily conversations. Few words in Tharoor’s tweet were not even in the dictionary. After having read and deciphered close to 30000 tweets of Shashi Tharoor, I decided to put my newly acquired knowledge to some use and hence appeared for GRE. I totally owe my success to Tharoor sir,” said Ganjay Jha with sparkle in his eyes.
