'Super 30' to take 100 students from next year

'Super 30', which is well known for grooming students from underprivileged sections of society in Bihar for IIT admissions, is all set to increase the intake to 100 students.

'Super 30' is a pioneering programme by mathematics wizard Anand Kumar, and the programme is well known for grooming students from underprivileged sections of society in Bihar for the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) with a striking success rate. The programme also provides free residential coaching to the students.

The latest is, from next year, students from across the country will be able to get admission in 'Super 30' and the intake capacity will be increased to 100 students which was only 30 till now. 

Until now, 'Super 30' was only for 30 underprivileged and talented students of Bihar. 

"In view of growing demand, Super 30, has decided to increase its reach and access. By next year, admissions will not be confined to students of Bihar only but will be open to students from other states. The procedure of admission will, however, remain the same – through test," Mr Kumar said, as reported by NDTV.

"Education is the only way people can find solutions to all pressing problems in the world, apart from going beyond Bihar, Super30 also plans to increase the intake of students in Bihar to 100 from the present 30. We also will be going online after taking lessons from the pandemic days when offline classes had to be shut for a couple of months," he added.

Commenting about the movie Super 30 which is based on Kumar's life and his character was played by Hrithik Roshan, he said, "The film is not just about Anand Kumar, but about all those teachers who put in all their effort for the bright future of students. And after seeing this film, every child from a poor family will be inspired to work hard because everything is possible with hard work. And schools with better infrastructure and ACs don't matter much."
