Irfan Ali was a brilliant student.  He had no first degree and was able to compete against students who had a first degree in a Masters program which entails writing assignments and doing exams at a Masters level to get his Masters degree. An incredible performance. 

Which rabbit hole you pull that from ?

Sahabudeen, our constitution design had no formal on site university training. So say his kid in a letter on SN. I know one person personally who similarly did not go to high school  but went on to a PhD. I do not know how these systems work outside the US but I know Cambridge give Ramanujan a doctorate  in Math but he was a genius in the area. Stanford did the same to Stephen Wolfram who never finished any school or so the story goes.

Wasn't easy for him at Cambridge . I Watched the Movie.

The Man Who Knew Infinity (film)

GH Hardy has 12 lectures on Ramanujan. That was the last thing he did before his death...a lecture tour on the great one. Read them. Hardy and Littlewood ( the one who said every positive integer was Ramunajan's friend) wrote those text books we used in elementary school in pure math. Those fat, brown,  hard cover books. Ramanujan made his own life hard by his peculiarities. Geniuses always come with peculiar ticks.  I did not see the movie.
