Hi Victor
Thanks for being so helpful among others. A clear picture is beginning to
appear in my mind about the matriculation exam. I had absolutely no idea
about the earlier eight-year phase of schooling.
Regards
Cornel

Dear Cornel,
After seven years of study at Mater Dei Institution, Saligao, I moved
with my family to Bombay and enrolled in St. Mary's High School in Mazagon.
I matriculated next year at the age of 15. One of my fellow students (a
Parsi named Rustom) was 12, and also successfully passed the exam.
In those days, one just had eight years of school before being able to
enter college. The schooling requirements were changed to 12 years to slow
down the crunch on the job market.
Regards,
Victor
