Kota, December 22
Paralysed below the neck, 21-year-old Tuhin Dey writes exams holding a pen in his mouth and operates his mobile phone and computer the same way. This has not stopped him from getting admission to a prestigious engineering institute.
Tuhin, who suffers from cerebral palsy, secured Rank 438 in the JEE (Mains) this year and got admission in information technology at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology in West Bengal's Shibpur.
Tuhin has so far undergone 20 surgeries and several plates have been inserted into his body to keep his bones straight.
A resident of Midnapore in West Bengal, Tuhin prepared for the exam at a coaching institute in Rajasthan's Kota.
