Krish Arora, a 10-year-old British-Indian boy, has achieved a remarkable IQ of 162, placing him in the top 1% of smartest people in the world, surpassing the estimated IQ scores of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

In a remarkable display of intellectual prowess, Krish Arora, a 10-year-old British-Indian boy, achieved an extraordinary IQ of 162, surpassing the widely estimated scores of two of the most brilliant minds in history: Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking . , whose IQ is said to be around 160. This exceptional feat places Krish in the top 1% of the most intelligent people in the world, making him a truly exceptional young prodigy.

Krish’s incredible feat has earned him a place within Mensa, the prestigious society that brings together the brightest minds from around the world. The young genius is also set to join Queen Elizabeth’s School in September, one of the top secondary schools in the UK, where he will no doubt be challenged academically to match his intellectual abilities.

Outstanding performance in academics and music

Known for his academic genius, Krish has already demonstrated a mastery of mathematics from a young age. He scored a perfect 100% on his math exams and found exams at level 11 and above “too easy.” Speaking about his experience in primary school, Krish expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of intellectual stimulation, stating: “Primary school is boring, I don’t learn anything. All we do is multiply and write sentences all day long. I like doing algebra.

Beyond academics, Krish’s talents extend to music, where he has already made a name for himself as a pianist. The 10-year-old has won several prizes in music competitions in west London, often outperforming contestants up to four years older than him. His musical abilities are also demonstrated by his induction into the prestigious Trinity College of Music “Hall of Fame” after completing four piano lessons in just six months. Krish currently holds a 7th grade piano certification, which showcases his exceptional musical talent.

Krish’s ability to play complex pieces from memory is another testament to his extraordinary talent. He plays confidently without sheet music, having memorized entire songs – a skill few adults can master, let alone a child his age. His ability to perform under pressure is unmatched; as Krish explained, “I’m not nervous about performing my music at these competitions because I know I won’t mess up.”

Krish’s intellectual interests extend beyond academics and music. In his free time, he enjoys solving crosswords and difficult puzzles, activities that further develop his problem-solving skills. Perhaps most notably, Krish developed a deep passion for chess. His parents, recognizing his natural talent, arranged for him to have a chess teacher. However, Krish has progressed so quickly that he now routinely outmaneuvers, demonstrating his remarkable strategic thinking and mental agility.

Recognizing a genius from a young age

Krish’s parents Mauli and Nischal, both from engineering backgrounds, first realized their son’s potential when he was just four years old. His mother, Mauli, who works in IT, recalled how Krish’s abilities far exceeded those expected of a child his age. “He could read fluently, his spelling was very good and he always loved and was good at math,” she said. One of the first signs of Krish’s exceptional talent came when, just before his fourth birthday, he completed an entire math book in three hours, tackling complex problems like decimal divisions. By the time he was in third grade, Krish had completed an entire year’s curriculum in a single day.

Krish Arora’s astonishing achievements are just the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable journey. With his IQ higher than some of the greatest minds in history, his exceptional talents in music and chess, and his insatiable thirst for excellence, Krish is certainly a young prodigy to watch out for. As he begins his new academic journey at Queen Elizabeth School, it is unclear how far his intellectual pursuits will take him. The future is indeed bright for this 10-year-old genius.
