AHMEDABAD: Being partially visually challenged has not detered city lad to bell the CAT, with flying colours as he has got admission calls from three Indian Institutes of Management-- Bangalore, Kolkata and Kozhikode.
Ganganbir Singh, 21 from the city with only 15-20 per cent vision suffers from rare ailment called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) in which a person loses eyesight with age.
"I scored 92.93 per cent in the Common Entrance Test (CAT) and had received call for group discussion and inteview from four IIMs," said Singh.
"Now after receiving the confirmed admission calls from three IIMs, I have decided to do my post graduation from Bangalore," Singh added.
He said he prepared for CAT with someone reading the material aloud to him and he dictated the answers to the writer.
According to Singh, he has been suffering from RP since childhood and has been subjected to discrimination all his life.
"With this achievement I have silenced my critics. I have proved them wrong," said Singh who is a Bachelore of Commerce with specialisation in advanced accountancy and audit.
"When I first went to a professional coaching class to prepare for my CAT, I was outrightly rejected," said Singh, remembering his difficult days.
Meanwhile, MNS has reacted sharply to Samajwadi Party MP Amar Singh's criticism of Raj Thackeray. Singh today called Raj a mental patient who needs medical care.
Maharashtra's former minister of state for home Kripashankar Singh, who has his roots in Uttar Pradesh, described Raj Thackeray's tirade against north Indians as an insult of the broad and all-encompassing culture of Maharashtra.
