An Indian student in Dubai has achieved a rare feat. The 16-year-old has made history by getting the perfect score of 1600 in the SAT standardised test. &nbsp;&nbsp;

It is organised for university admissions in the US. &nbsp;

Ahaan Shetty, who is a Grade 11 student at GEMS Modern Academy in Dubai, got all his 154 questions correct. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The child got the highest possible score of 1600 (800 in maths; 800 in reading/writing) in SAT in December 2021. The results of the tests were announced last week. &nbsp;

Shetty is from Mumbai city in India. He had previously got a near-perfect score of 1520. &nbsp;&nbsp;

“I felt I could do better so I practiced some more and took the SAT again. I thought I did better this time but I was pleasantly surprised to get a perfect score,” said Shetty. &nbsp;

He wants to study physics, which is his favourite subject, at a leading university in the US after graduating high school next year. &nbsp;

He also loves to play piano, sprint in track-and-field and is a big fan of robotics. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Shetty did not study the day before his SAT and feels that there is no short-cut for doing well in SAT – or any other exam. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Rare feat: Indian student in UAE makes history, bags perfect score of 1600 in SAT  

The United Arab Emirates government has told some of its biggest business families that it plans to remove their monopolies on the sale of imported goods, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

The government did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment but state news agency WAM quoted a Ministry of Economy statement saying a draft law on commercial agencies was still in its legislative cycle and "it is still too early to give details".

The cabinet referred the draft to the Federal National Council for discussion and possibly more amendments, it added.

The FT report said the proposed legislation would end the automatic renewal of existing commercial agency agreements in the Gulf state, giving foreign firms the opportunity to distribute their own goods or change their local agents.

"It no longer makes sense for individual families to have such power and preferential access to easy wealth," the report quoted an Emirati official as saying. "We have to modernise our economy."

The proposed law must be approved by the Emirati leadership and the timing for that remains uncertain, the report added.

Over the past year the UAE, a growing economic rival of Saudi Arabia, has taken measures to make its economy more attractive to foreign investors and talent.

Earlier this year, UAE said foreigners opening a company will no longer need an Emirati shareholder or agent, after it made changes to UAE company law.
