Kolkata, July 14 (Inditop.com) Believe it or not, one of the students writing an undergraduate examination in a Kolkata college is an 86-year-old woman.
Gokul Chattopadhyay got married at a young age and could not continue her education after passing out from school. She lost her husband 30 years ago.
A resident of Kakulia road in south Kolkata, she is now appearing for the BA General Part-I examination at the Netajinagar College for Women.
“We are really surprised to see her enthusiasm in this old age. She is as motivated as any other student,” Sudin Banerjee, a college official, told Inditop.
Considering Chattopadhyay’s age, the college authorities have shifted her seat from the second floor to the ground floor.
