Kanpur: Fighting all odds more and
more poor children are making it to the prestigious Indian Institute
of Technology, some of them without even taking any help from
private coaching centers.
According to IIT-JEE 2010 examination statistics released by the IIT
Kanpur, out of 9075 successful candidates, 35 per cent come from
poor families and 40 per cent passed the competitive exam without
any help from private coaching centers.
"The figures indicate that to secure admission in IIT is not just
possible for students who come from rich families and can afford
expensive coaching, even the poor children from economically
backward and uneducated families are becoming successful and are
securing a seat in IITs without any coaching," IIT Kanpur Director
Sanjay Govind Dhande said.
The candidates, who belong to poor families, mostly came from
Hindi-speaking belt of India.
