London: An Indian British boy, Krish Arora from Hounslow, West London has stunned the world by securing an extraordinary IQ of 162. This score has surpassed the mark widely estimated to be the scores of two of the most brilliant minds in history: Albert Einstein and Stephan Hawking, whose IQ levels are thought to have been around 160.
According to Metro, the young prodigy is now accepted to Mensa, ‘a stimulating, intellectual and social society’ and is also set to join the prestigious Queen Elizabeth’s School in September, one of the country’s top grammar schools.

Krish who had achieved 100% in mathematics, said the 11-plus exams were “too easy”. When discussing his primary school experience, Krish expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of intellectual stimulation by stating, “Primary school is boring, I don’t learn anything. All we do is multiplication and write sentences all day. I like to do algebra”.
Apart from academics, Krish’s talent also extends to music, where he has already made a name for himself as a pianist. The 10-year-old genius has also been inducted into the prestigious Trinity College of Music’s “Hall of Fame” for completing four grades in just six months. Demonstrating his exceptional skill, Krish currently holds a grade 7 piano certification.
His impressive resume includes winning several musical competitions in West London, where he outshone contestants up to four years his senior. And the remarkable part is his ability to memorise complex instrumentals from memory without needing the sheet music.
He said, “I don’t get nervous to perform my music at these competitions because I know that I’m not going to mess up.”
Krish’s parents, Mauli and Nischal, both with engineering backgrounds, first suspected that their son might be a genius when he was just four years old.
