Mumbai boy scores 35% in 10th exam, parents celebrate his achievements, internet left pleasantly surprised

Academics is considered one of the major aspects of the life of Indians. In a society where academic excellence is considered to have a direct impact on professional success, a family in Mumbai broke the traditional norms and to the surprise of many celebrated their son passing the 10th board exam. 

What's surprising in this is that the boy scored 35 per cent. He scored 35 in each subject and just passed the exam. Normally, in other households, passing with 35 marks is considered a terrible result. Some parents even shy away from discussing their children's result if it is lower than 80 per cent forget 35 per cent. 

The Thane boy, Vishal Karad completed his 10th class from a Marathi medium school and scored 35 per cent. His father is an autorickshaw driver and his mother is a domestic worker. Both of them worked really hard for their son to get a chance at education.
