24 of 30 students of Super 30, Bihar's free coaching centre, have cracked the Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) this year , 6 less then cent percent of last three years.
This takes the total number of Super 30 students who have qualified for the IIT-JEE in the last nine years to 236," the institute's founder and director Anand Kumar told the sources on Wednesday.
The changed pattern of the exam this year could be a reason why his entire batch could not bag the coveted IIT seats.
The successful candidates include the wards of a roadside vendor, mobile mechanic, private marginal farmer, a truck driver and a class four government employee.
Anand said the institute is supported by the income generated from his Ramanujam School of Mathematics, which has students who can afford to pay fees.
The Super 30 was started by Anand along with Bihar's ADGP Abhyanand. Three years back, Abhyanand dissociated himself from the institute.
