46 out of 48 enrolled in Haryana’s ‘Super-100 programme’ crack exam

ROHTAK: As many as 46 out of the 48 students enrolled in the ‘Super-100 programme’ of Haryana government at Rewari centre have cracked the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE, Mains), held for admission to engineering colleges across the country.

Breaking all odds, two girls, both daughters of marginalised farmers, made it to the 99-club. While Kajal of Indachoi village in Fatehabad scored 99.65%, Simran of Hasangarh village in Rohtak got 99.47%.

Of the 46 students from the centre, two have secured above 99% while nine have scored over 98% and 21 got more than 95%.

Naveen Mishra, the head teacher of the Super-100 programme at Rewari, said, “In January too, 46 students had cracked the exam. The Covid-19 outbreak had no effect on our students’ performance. They are now preparing for the JEE Advanced Exam and we hope that they will bring more accolades.”

Mishra, along with his five other IIT pass-outs, have been giving free coaching to meritorious and deserving students in the state.

Yuvraj, a student from Sirsa, who scored 98.86 percentile, said he owes his success to his teachers, parents, friends and the Haryana government, which gave him free coaching.

“My parents have always dreamt of seeing me as an engineer but they did not have the money to send me to private coaching. The state government’s initiative has come as a boon for students like me. I now hope that I am able to ace the JEE Advanced exam too.”

Ajay Kumar, programme officer for Super-100 programme in the state, said 46 students from Rewari centre and 26 from Panchkula centre have cleared the JEE main.
