Mohammad Ali, aged 12 years, initially denied US visa, secures 8th position in his category after going through a tough time getting a visa to travel to the United States to participate in an International competition. Mohammad Ali, a student of Pant Nagar Municipal School, was among a handful of students to get selected from across the country to participate in Ken Ken International Championship, a mathematical puzzle competition held at Pace University at New York. He had lost almost all hopes of attending the final round of the championship after his visa was rejected by the US Consulate in Hyderabad. He had to return along with his teacher to India. However, Ali was granted Visa on the month of May. Ali had beaten nearly 35,000 students in the national round.
