The intake in the pioneering programme by mathematics wizard Anand Kumar, will also be increased to 100 by next year.
From the upcoming year, students from all over India will be able to take admissions in 'Super 30'. Super 30 is an institute that grooms students from underprivileged sections of society in Bihar for IITs. As per information, from next year, the intake will also increase to 100. Currently, only 30 talented students of Bihar can participate in this free residential coaching programme.
"In view of growing demand, Super 30, has decided to increase its reach and access. By next year, admissions will not be confined to students of Bihar only but will be open to students from other states. The procedure of admission will, however, remain the same through test," Mr Kumar said, as reported by PTI.
He further added that, "Education is the only way people can find solutions to all pressing problems in the world, apart from going beyond Bihar, Super30 also plans to increase the intake of students in Bihar to 100 from the present 30. We also will be going online after taking lessons from the pandemic days when offline classes had to be shut for a couple of months."
