A day before yesterday Super 30 founder Anand Kumar had released the list of all 30 students with roll number in which 28 had cleared the JEE advanced. In a bid to silence critics, Anand Kumar had released the list of all 30 students.
Talking to TOI he said, like previous years, he had released the list to maintain utmost transparency in what he has been doing for 11 years without any financial assistance from any outside agency.
Last year, 27 of the 30 students were selected for IITs and Super-30 has contributed over 260 students to the premier engineering institute of the country so far. In 2003, 18 of the 30 students came out with flying colours while the number of successful candidates went up to 22 the next year.
In 2005, 26 of the Super-30 students made it to IITs while 28 each got through the exam in 2006 and 2007. Kumar and his team saw a high from 2008 to 2010 with all their 30 students making it to the list of successful candidates every year.
"Super 30 was conceptualized to help meritorious students from underprivileged section, who find it difficult to continue their studies due to acute financial constraints. All the 30 students in Super 30 are imparted free education with residential facilities for a year. In the last 11 years, several students from poor families have successfully completed their journey to IIT," he said.
"Super 30 is run from my house and my entire family is part of it. While I and some of my friends teach the students, my mother cooks food for them. My brother Pranav Kumar shoulders the responsibility of managing the affairs with great enthusiasm. It has been like this for over 11 years now," he added.
In the list of the 30 students the number of general category students is 12 while OBC students is 17 and only one SC students.
