Of the total 100 students who attended the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar Dakshina Leadership Programme, 94 have cleared the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2022 with four students scoring in the range of 1000 to 2000 rank and one achieving All India Rank (AIR) 1 in the Scheduled Caste-Persons with Disabilities (SC-PwD) category.

Programme for the disadvantaged

IITGN-Dakshana Leadership Programme helps bright and economically disadvantaged students, predominantly from rural India, to prepare for IIT and medical entrance exams.

“What makes these students and their achievements stand apart is also their humble backgrounds. These students come here from the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and other government schools across India after getting selected for intensive coaching based on their outstanding academic abilities despite the weak financial condition of their families,” an official statement from IITGN said.

These 100 scholars are being trained in leadership, critical thinking and communication skills at IITGN since the past fortnight.

Hailing from Bulandshahar in Uttar Pradesh and affiliated with Dakshana centre in Hyderabad, Manjaree has achieved AIR rank 1170 and 126th rank in the general-EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category. She said, “I wish to make my career in applied physics. I am sure I will be able to fulfil my dream by getting into an IIT. The current programme at IITGN has helped me improve my problem-solving skills and confidence to take initiatives.”
