Agastya scored 63 per cent with commerce, economics and civics as his main subjects.

"I want to do my graduation in commerce in the next three years but my ultimate goal is to be a doctor," Agastya told the Hindustan Times.

Agastya’s plan is to complete a Bachelor of Commerce, repeat intermediate again with biology, physics and chemistry and then write medical entrance examination.

To get a seat in a MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) course in India, Agastya needs to at least 17 years-old.

This is the average age at which an Indian student passes year 12 and is eligible to sit for the Medical entrance examination.
