Internet Desk: India’s star gymnast Dipa Karmakar definitely knows how to manage both studies and her sports. She is not only aspiring to be a gold medalist at 2020 Tokyo Games but also hopes to hold a Master of Arts degree soon.

A day after returning from Rio Games where she put India on the Olympic map of gymnastics, and after making it through scores of fans, supporters and politicians who felicitated her, Dipa appeared for the second semester exams of her Masters of Arts course in Agartala on Tuesday. Seeing Dipa appear for exams at the Distance Learning Center of Tripura University, people marveled at her dedication to studies.

Now Dipa, who missed out on a podium finish at Rio Olympics by a whisker, is upbeat that she’ll possess a Masters degree in Political Science soon. Officials at the exam center reportedly said that Dipa sitting for the exams is a message for all those students who look for excuses to not give their best at exams and skip the tests.
