Patna’s Super 30 script another ‘max’ story

It’s 30/30 again — for the second consecutive year. Super 30, an initiative under which poor students are coached free of cost in Patna to crack IIT-JEE, has scripted another success story with all its 30 students, coming out with flying colours.

Last year too all the 30 students of Super 30, being run by a local maths wizard Anand Kumar since 2002, cracked the JEE. Like previous years, most of the 30 successful candidates are wards of marginal farmers, school teachers, a police constable and a grade IV government employee.

The 30 students were selected from among 3,000-odd aspirants who had appeared at the Super 30 entrance test last year. “We would now be picking up 90 students every year for free coaching as well as food and lodging facilities.”

Last year, Patna saw two other coaching institutes, Rahmani Foundation and Triveni Super 30, offering free coaching and free food to deserving poor students. Abhayanand, an ADG-rank officer, offered his services at these two institutes.
