Raised in a joint family, he got all the support he needed to overcome the challenges he faced since childhood. He studied normally for 7-8 hours using a special software that converts text to voice on his laptop, said his elder brother Nakul.

Tapas’s class 12 scorecard that reads– English Core, 95, Psychology, 90, Sociology, 95, Legal Studies, 94, Computer Science, 83–speaks volumes about his intelligence and grit to triumph against all odds. Besides, he also had Hindustani Musical Vocal as an additional subject in which he scored 92 marks.

His list of achievements includes 35th rank in PwD (Persons with Disability) category of Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), 2015. He has also topped in the same category for the five year integrated (hons) Law course test conducted by IP University.

Having interest in Law, Tapas has now set his sights on making a mark in the legal field. His uncle Arvind Raj Sharma, a politician, said that his teachers and family thought it best to allow him to pursue studies in a field of his choice.

“His daily routine was almost the same as of any normal teenager. He went to school in a school bus and attended classes with his classmates. The only difference was that while other students wrote notes in their copies, Tapas keyed them on a laptop,” said Nakul.
