GUWAHATI: Arani S Hazarika, a class 12 final-year student of Holy Child School, Krishnanagar, Chanmari, Guwahati, has brought laurels to the state by securing a place to study an undergraduate course at the University of Oxford, England, which is one of the most prestigious universities of the world.
The Balliol College, established in 1263, one of the constituent colleges of the university, has made an open conditional offer to Arani guaranteeing a seat in the college to study Sanskrit. Every year, around 25,000 students from across the world apply to the different undergraduate courses of the university, and only around 4,000 students, on the basis of merit, are offered admissions.
The 17-year-old schoolgirl has shown exceptional merit during the long strenuous online interviews conducted by this educational giant. Arani will get the opportunity to study Sanskrit (including Hinduism) in the university’s three year bachelor’s degree course starting this October.
