Indian Army’s Coaching Initiative Helps Nine Kashmiri Students Clear IIT Entrance Exam

IIT results (advanced) were announced on June 11. Like each year, this time, too, all the students from Anand Kumar’s Super 30 batch cleared the entrance examination.

Inspired from this Super 3o batch, the Indian Army had formed a Super-40 batch to train Kashmiri students for IIT-JEE. Well, the good news is that nine students from this batch have cleared the IIT-JEE advanced paper. 

Also, this was also the first time that five girls from the Valley had joined the Army’s Super-40 batch.

 

 

Earlier, 26 local boys and two girls from this year’s batch had cracked the IIT-JEE Mains. Among them, five could not appear in the entrance examination for personal reasons.

The super-40 batch was started three years back with the purpose to help underprivileged students of Kashmir achieve academic excellence.

On Tuesday, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat met the achievers of this year’s batch and congratulated them.

 

Meenakshi Shai, chief manager of the Army’s Super-40 batch project (CSRL), shared its progress report,

“This Super-40 batch has been in existence for the last three years.’In the first year, not one student from the batch could crack JEE. Last year, 30 students from the batch took the JEE Mains. Out of them, 25 students cleared the JEE Mains and seven cleared the JEE Advanced. This year, the number of students who cleared the JEE Advanced has increased to nine. We hope the number will keep increasing by the year.”
