Unfortunately, he missed clearing the psychology paper by just two marks and will reappear for it," said Rajan Wilson, Rohan's father.
"Thanks to his friends, Rohan was able to prepare for his exams, despite the agony," added his father.
The family is currently arranging funds for his prosthetic arm but is anxious, as their hospital bills have already crossed R16 lakh.
