“'It is a very good trend that government junior colleges have performed better in the intermediate results than private junior colleges. Since last few years, private colleges had been claiming that they were better. After observing the satisfactory results this year we are now planning to produce IITs, NEET toppers. We will identify such meritorious students and provide better facilities to improve govt colleges much better,” said Mr Madhusudhan Reddy of the Intermediate Joint Action Committee.
